Hi! My name is Daragh, and I am a junior at Oregon State University studying mechanical engineering. I am currently available for childcare and household support services. I am originally from Portland, Oregon, and have been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a math tutor for students ranging from kindergarten through high school, which has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to support children academically. I am truly passionate about working with children, having grown up with many younger siblings and cousins. I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel supported and cared for. Beyond childcare, I am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, errands, and general household organization. I am comfortable around pets, love animals, and have no allergies. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!
Hi, my name is Ella and I am going into my junior year at Oregon State. I love children and am looking for part time babysitting starting in November. The past year I mainly babysit for a family with a 4 year old boy and girl who just turned 1. I babysit once or twice a week, often 5-10 hour shifts. Other than that I occasionally babysit a family with a 4 year old and 2 year old as well as a family with 22 month old twins and a 5 year old. My tasks normally involve dropping off and picking up from school, crafts, games inside and outside, changing diapers, giving baths and more. I also have experience dog sitting!
Hi, I am Lila! I offer babysitting, nannying, tutoring, and pet care. I had my first babysitting gig in 6th grade, which is how I found out I love all the components working with kids has to offer! I have worked with infants to pre-teens, and am equipped for the responsibilities each age asks of me. Many of the families I have worked with have had multiple kids (and pets). I am comfortable and experienced with watching multiple infants at once; and with watching infants and older children, that require different kinds of attention. I grew up with three dogs and a cat, so taking care of animals in addition is welcomed. I love organizing all the details of the day into to-do lists to ensure every task is completed. The kids' happiness and well-being are the main priorities. Taking the kids outside (after lots of sunscreen is applied!), finding creative/enriching ways to spend our time together, and figuring out the individual needs of each child in my care is my approach to having fun and fostering development (of course, if other activities are outlined for me, I will make sure to do those). I grew up with a love for cooking, so making snacks and meals is both fun and easy. I am a senior in college, working towards two bachelor's degrees. I have highly developed writing, reading and comprehension, and social studies skills -- which positions me to help tutor kids, assist with homework, and work on personal reading/writing goals. I graduated high school with honors, so I have proficient math and science abilities. I am not bilingual, but I took Spanish all of high school, and continue to study the language in college, so I am available to help with the learning of lower-level Spanish. Additionally, I have a driver's license and perfect record. If you have any questions, please reach out and ask, I'd love to answer them.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Lila to any family in need of a wonderful nanny or babsitter! Lila was a part-time nanny for my two young daughters, and her dedication and caring nature quickly made her a part of our family. Lila's attentiveness and patience are unparalleled. She has a remarkable ability to understand and respond to the needs of young children, creating a safe and nurturing environment for them. My daughters always felt heard and cared for, and her patience helped them through challenging moments with ease. One of the most memorable contributions Lila made was teaching my 3-year-old daughter how to ride a bike.. facilitated by Lila's gentle encouragement and persistent support. :-) Lila has excellent organizational skills and is reliable. She managed daily routines seamlessly, from meal times to nap schedules, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Her proactive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond were truly appreciated, as she often took the initiative to plan fun and educational activities.”
