Takita $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a childcare professional with more than 20 years of experience caring for children in a variety of settings, including schools, childcare programs and private homes. I’ve worked with children of different ages and developmental stages and have extensive experience creating safe, nurturing and engaging environments where children can learn, play and be themselves. I’m dependable, patient, attentive and genuinely enjoy getting to know the children in my care. I’m also someone who understands that every child and every family is different. I pride myself on paying attention to routines, personalities and individual needs. My years of experience have also taught me how to remain calm and resourceful when things don't go according to plan. Beyond childcare, I have experience with house and pet sitting and appreciate the trust that comes with being responsible for someone’s home while they are away. I am comfortable caring for pets and making sure that they and the home are cared for as the owner would expect. I’m naturally observant, organized and responsible. I love reading, music, film, tv and finding ways to make ordinary days fun and memorable for children. I also bring a strong sense of humor, good communication skills and the ability to connect with people and animals easily. After more than two decades working with children and families, I don’t take the responsibility lightly. When someone trusts me with their child, pet or home, I treat that trust with the same care and respect that I would want for my own.

Aussie $25 per hour for 1 child

Stay at home Mom of two kids. One 8-year-old and a 1-year-old. Very active and hands-on with at home creativity and learning projects. Very patient. Very attentive to children and their needs. I value structure and a routine to help the children get everything they need throughout the day from learning to play to nap times. I try not to encourage screen time and would much rather have them play outside or do arts and crafts. Very loving and kind to pets as well. I've had pets my whole life and having to care for them as well as work in a veterinarian clinic.

Sharon $22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sharon and I am a mother of two wonderful children ages 14 and 17. I have worked with children for many years in different settings. I have had several nanny positions, worked in a daycare, ran my own home daycare, and worked within schools with special needs children. I have a Master's degree in Special Education and taught for about 7 years. I have experience with children of all ages and abilities and love seeing them learn and grow. I especially enjoy working with infants and helping them reach their developmental milestones. I am very nurturing, kind and patient and focus on the individual needs and development of each child I care for. Thank you for considering me for the care of your precious children. I live in Oregon City so would prefer to work in the areas surrounding such as West Linn, Gladstone, Milwaukie. Would consider other areas for the perfect fit.

"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!"
