Find an emergency babysitter in Boring, OR

Every family wants the same thing from a caregiver. They want someone they can trust with the people and animals they love most. I'm Elizabeth, and caring for others has shaped my whole life. I'm a single mom to four boys who are grown or in college. I spent 16 years as a K-8 teacher with Douglas County School District. I also worked with the Family Support Council of Douglas County as a community educator, program manager, and grant coordinator. That role was all about supporting local families. Earlier in my career, I worked with Summerlin, a senior living community. What I bring: Kids: I've spent my career in classrooms and my life raising boys. I know how to keep kids safe, engaged, and learning. Structure and routine come naturally to me. Emotional support: I hold a master's in gifted education from Arizona State University. I'm also certified in SENG social-emotional coaching. I'm trained to help kids name big feelings and work through them. Calm in conflict: My bachelor's degree includes conflict resolution. Four boys gave me plenty of practice. Sibling disputes don't rattle me. Seniors: My time with Summerlin gave me deep respect for older adults. I bring patience, dignity, and a good ear. Pets: I share my home with a chihuahua, cats, and a very energetic lab. I also foster kittens. Small dogs have big opinions, and labs have endless energy. I keep up with both. Household help: I run a busy home of five. Schedules, meals, and daily logistics are second nature. I'm calm, organized, and warm. I'm a certified life coach, so listening is part of how I work. I communicate clearly with parents and families. I bring humor to the hard days. Hiking is my favorite way to spend time outdoors. Your family deserves care that's steady, kind, and consistent. I'd love to provide it.

Hi- My name is Lana and I offer babysitting and household/yard services: cooking/cleaning, weeding etc. I have 3 nieces (twins-age 2, and 4 yr old) who I babysit regularly and they are the joy of my life. We love going to the park together, read books, color, play “kitchen”, ride scooters/bikes and so much more. I like to stay busy and in my free time I enjoy running, hiking/backpacking, and training martial arts.

Hello! I am a former 6-12th grade teacher going back to school for nursing. I am looking for occasional or part time work on the days that I don’t have classes. My formal experience with children includes teaching middle school and high school, as well as summer camp with preschool to middle school aged children, and as an educational assistant for a special needs program. Although it has been awhile since I officially offered childcare, I grew up taking care of four younger siblings as well as foster children. I did often babysit for families with multiple children of different ages throughout high school and am looking to start again. I am comfortable with children of all ages, and am happy to help with light household chores and pets if needed. As a former teacher, I have a lot of experience with lesson planning and engaging kids in science (and other subjects too) regardless of their age and I would be happy to implement this in any childcare position. Looking forward to connecting with you!

I am a graduate from Lewis and Clark college. i graduated with a bachelors in Biology. I have watched children at my aunts church occasionally and have babysat for a few families long term. I have 3+ years experience with children as young as 4 months old. I also have experience with children that have learning disabilities and down syndrome. I love to babysit because I plan on becoming an OBGYN or pediatrician. I just love to be around children and help then grow and learn. Also I am a stickler for the outdoors!! I am also First aid/CPR certified and BLS certified as well.

Hi! I go by Nyxie (they/them/fae). I bring over 15 years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teen years, including roles as a nanny, babysitter, ESL teacher, special needs tutor, and current preschool program assessor. I am CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and conversational in French and Mandarin Chinese. My approach to caregiving is child-led, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and play-based. I enjoy creating engaging, developmentally supportive experiences through outdoor play, art, reading, healthy cooking, and mindfulness activities. I strive to foster independence, emotional regulation, and a strong sense of safety and belonging in every child I work with. For work-from-home families, I value clear communication and collaboration. I do my best work when trusted to take the lead during scheduled hours, as consistency helps children feel secure and reduces confusion. My goal is always to create a warm, joyful, and supportive environment where your child can thrive.
