Find a last-minute babysitter in Columbia City, OR

Hi I’m Andrea! I am 27 and currently live in the Portland area. I have been baby sitting for the past several years and really enjoy the time I get to spend with kids! I have worked with the tutoring agency Kumon when I was a student at PSU and tutored kids from ages 2-10. I am also very comfortable with animals and have grown up with pets since I was a little girl and love to spend time in the sun outside!

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!

I’m a reliable, caring, and experienced childcare professional with over 10 years of experience working with children and families in school, home, and clinical settings. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and getting to know their individual personalities, interests, and needs. I’m comfortable creating routines, helping with daily activities and homework, managing challenging behaviors, and keeping children safe, happy, and engaged. I’m patient and adaptable and understand that every child and family is different. I also value good communication with parents and enjoy keeping them updated throughout the day. My goal is to create a warm, positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and able to be themselves.

I am calm, reserved and curious but I become a very bubbly, humorous and goofy person when you get to know me. I am nurturing and very sensitive to my environment, always cautious. I’ve worked at a day care and also as an au pair and would casually take babysitting gigs. I’ve worked with a varying group of ages but I’ve worked mostly with toddlers to preteens. I don’t mind working with pets as well as seniors.

My name is Daphne. I’m originally from California, and I have been living in Portland for the last 8 years. I have three much younger siblings for whose care I was responsible during summers when my parents worked their 9-5s. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, and teenagers. I am able to tutor in all elementary subjects. I enjoy playing sports/games, building forts, doing puzzles, going and walks, and more. I enjoy engaging meaningfully with children and watching them learn about their world.
