Find an emergency babysitter in Gresham, OR

Hiya! I hold National Board Certification in Early Childhood, an active AZ Teaching License, and a handful of other education licenses! I have 23 years experience in education, teaching Pre-K through 5th grade, and executive experience in curriculum and leadership. Happy to babysit, tutor, provide educational experiences—whatever you need!

I have been a nanny and youth educator for over 10 years. Working with children of a variety of ages — 3 months to 15 years. My specialty is creativity and nature connection. I bring a sense of adventure and place and compassionate care for social emotional skills to my work. I take my job seriously, and because of my life as an educator I like to make any mundane day an event with an opportunity for learning and bonding. Professionally I teach drama, creativity, outdoor education for youth, and I guide a therapeutic embodiment practice for adults. I also work in the creative field as a performing artist and on all sides of event production. Because of this I marked weekend evenings as not generally available, however I am flexible at this time and will adjust for the right family! Finally, I am good at organizing and cleaning up a space. I am currently on the market for a car and could then run errands, etc.

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.

I am a career nanny and have been working with children in their homes for over 18 years. I love caring for infants but also love taking toddlers out to explore the world. Watching children learn and grow never gets old!

Hi I’m an older college student looking to work with some fun kids! I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was ten years old. The first time I was first aid and infant CPR certified was at fourteen years old. My favorite family was a family friend that I babysat for regularly. It started with two kids elementary age and ended with four kids ranging from infant to middle school age. I love outside activities with kids to get energy out and doing projects or “homework” that is fun for the kids and also helps them learn. I am open to a lot of situations.
