Mckenna Salem
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mckenna and I am a sophomore student athlete at Corban University. My schedule consists of mostly nights and Sundays due to practice and class. My services include baby sitting, house sitting, and cat/dog sitting! Originally from Montana, I love things like sports, games, fishing, and spending time outdoors. I am also a christian and love a sweet treat! I have been told that I am enthusiastic, organized, energetic, kind, and respectful. I love working with kids, keeping them entertained, and making sure they’re safe and cared for. I also can care for pets, preferably cats and dogs. I have two labs at home that I absolutely adore! My third service is house sitting! Since my schedule is mostly nights, I would also add that I am CPR certified and confident at handling unexpected situations. I aim to create a positive and comfortable environment!

About Me: I am a dedicated and responsible caregiver with extensive experience working with children, seniors, and pets. Currently, I am studying psychology and sociology at Willamette University. My background includes babysitting for children where I provided comprehensive care, including supervising activities, cooking nutritious meals, and ensuring a safe environment. I have a strong commitment to following parental guidelines and actively listening to family needs. Experience: In my babysitting roles, I was responsible for bathing, playing, and putting children to bed. I ensured their safety by regularly assessing the environment for potential hazards and accompanying them on approved outings and after-school activities. I have also assisted children with homework and projects, fostering a supportive atmosphere that encourages their growth. As a camp counselor at an overnight summer camp, I ran various activities and provided emotional support to campers, particularly those struggling with homesickness. My experience in before-and-after school care involved planning engaging activities while monitoring safety and facilitating conflict resolution among children. In addition, my role as an activities assistant at a memory care facility has equipped me with the skills to work compassionately with elderly and disabled residents. I led events and holiday celebrations, focusing on enhancing their quality of life through meaningful engagement. Personality Traits and Talents: I am patient, nurturing, and attentive, qualities that I believe are essential for any caregiver. My ability to actively listen and communicate effectively ensures that both children and parents feel heard and supported. I am also creative, often bringing new ideas for games and activities that are both fun and educational. Overall, my diverse experience and commitment to fostering a positive environment make me a great caregiver. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your family and provide exceptional care.

$22 per hour for 1 child

I absolutely love children! I grew up helping care for younger siblings and went on to study human development in college. I graduated with an emphasis in family studies and learned a lot about child development. I worked as a preschool teacher in Southern Utah before spending two years abroad as an English teacher to children ages 2-12. I have volunteered with children in a Chinese orphanage and worked with children in a number of different capacities. I recently went back to school and I am a full time student right now. I love arts and crafts, dancing, animals, and anything outdoors. I adore spending my days with little ones and helping them explore the world.

Jaclyn Keizer
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello 😊! My name is Jaclyn I am brand new to UrbanSitter! I am a 21 year old mom to my first child. I have lots of experience with handling baby’s and toddlers from many ages! I come from a big family of 13! So I enjoy everything from taking care of kids to taking care of pets/animals. In addition, I do have a nonnegotiable for having to bring my child with me. She is a very sweet three month old baby who mostly sleeps all day and would not interfere with me taking care of/ watching over your child. I used to be full time associate at In n Out Burger in Keizer! I am very used to and can handle chaotic environments. They do not bother me in the slightest! But since having my baby girl I am needing to drop down to part time and or hoping to quit soon, sticking to just babysitting/part time nanny. Qualifications: Child care experience CPR certified Food handlers permit With me I also will always do house cleaning that comes with NO extra charge! :) I believe it should be a basic requirement for when being a babysitter/nanny. I know how relaxing it can be to come to a clean home! Side note: please be specific with me if you would NOT like me to clean a place in the home or would prefer me to leave stuff alone! :)
