Booked by 7 families in Dayton, OR

Hello my name is Meg. I have 15+ years of baby sitting, 5 years of teaching, and 10 years of pet experience. I have worked with children from the age of infancy to 14. I have a degree in ECE and some SPEDU credits, but have decided to go back to college to change my major and become a child psychologist. I loved working with my students in a classroom setting, but feel that my skills are more necessary to help children develop individually. At this moment my availability is very flexible so take advantage of it while you can!

Meg was great with our 5 month old. She has a fun personality and was very professional.

Hi I’m Andrea! I am a responsible and caring babysitter with hands-on experience working with children through a school child development program. I have two years of experience supporting children’s growth, safety, and daily routines, including working with children with special needs. I have also volunteered as a camp leader, supervising a group of five children, organizing engaging activities, and managing daily schedules from morning wake-ups to bedtime. In addition, I am a certified medical assistant with current BLS certification, as well as adult and pediatric CPR and First Aid training. I have volunteered in elementary school settings and am confident in creating a safe, structured, and positive environment for children of all ages. Additionally, I don’t mind helping out with housework and/or pets! :)

Andrea was super friendly, conscientious, and kind. Also made my party with kids and adults so much easier!

My childcare journey began at 12, babysitting in my church nursery, but it was my younger brother’s birth when I was 13 that truly ignited my passion for caring for little ones. Helping raise him next to a hard working single mother showed me how much I love nurturing and guiding children through their early years. Since then, I’ve gained over ten years of experience as a nanny, overnight caregiver, home manager, and preschool teacher. I’ve also worked as a professionally trained doula, further deepening my understanding of child development and family support. I’m also an active person and grew up participating in team sports, including soccer and swim team, which taught me the value of energy, focus, and teamwork—qualities I bring to my caregiving. I love creating fun, engaging moments to help kids learn, grow, and explore their world. With confidence, patience, and a second nature for childcare, I’m here to provide your little ones with exceptional care and attention.

Mckenna $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!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
