Booked by 7 families in Saint Paul, 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. ”

Booked by 1 family in Saint Paul, OR

Hello all! My name is Krysta and I'm on the look out for a new family! I've been in childcare for almost 9 years and a private nanny for almost 7 years. I do have a 2.5 year old boy (06/03/2021) who has come along with me since he was 8 weeks old. Before I was a nanny I was a lead at a popular Portland based in-home daycare where I oversaw the care of 16 infants and 3 other workers. Our ratio was 4:1. I have experience with multiples and my last nanny share job was with 4 kiddos- a set of twins, a singleton and my own son, Theo. I love creating long term bonds with children along with their families as I see myself as an extension of them. Some of my skills are as follows: • CPR and first aid trained and in the ORO database, clean driving record with a safe and reliable car. • Supporting children in play activities, meals and snacks, hygiene and socialization. • Assisting with light housekeeping duties as well as running errands. Organization and cleaning up the home after activities by picking up toys and straightening up play rooms. • Building positive and nurturing environments to support child's social and emotional growth. • Preparing tasty and healthy meals for children to encourage good eating habits. • Engaging with children on an age-appropriate level. Balancing playtime to help support development of fine motor, and cognitive skills Getting outside, puddle jumping, singing silly songs, dancing crazy dances, block building, imagination play, arts and crafts are some of my favorite things

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!"
