Jaclyn $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello 😊! My name is Jaclyn I am brand new to UrbanSitter! I am a 21 year old mom to my first child. I have lots of experience with handling baby’s and toddlers from many ages! I come from a big family of 13! So I enjoy everything from taking care of kids to taking care of pets/animals. In addition, I do have a nonnegotiable for having to bring my child with me. She is a very sweet three month old baby who mostly sleeps all day and would not interfere with me taking care of/ watching over your child. I used to be full time associate at In n Out Burger in Keizer! I am very used to and can handle chaotic environments. They do not bother me in the slightest! But since having my baby girl I am needing to drop down to part time and or hoping to quit soon, sticking to just babysitting/part time nanny. Qualifications: Child care experience CPR certified Food handlers permit With me I also will always do house cleaning that comes with NO extra charge! :) I believe it should be a basic requirement for when being a babysitter/nanny. I know how relaxing it can be to come to a clean home! Side note: please be specific with me if you would NOT like me to clean a place in the home or would prefer me to leave stuff alone! :)

Sierra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Sierra. I currently work as a realtor in West Linn for Matin Real Estate but prior to this work, I worked in social services for a decade. I worked primarily as a vocational counselor helping individuals with their careers whom have a disability, injury, or mental health condition. I’ve also done medical case management, worked with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, and volunteered in the big brothers big sisters program to mentor youth. I have for many years taken care of my younger siblings from the time they were born up through teenage years. I also nanny for a friend who has a 5 year old child regularly as well. My education is a BA in Psychology and MPA degree. I am an excellent communicator, organized, thoughtful, and kind. With my education background, I am comfortable tutoring children and teenagers as I graduated with honors both in undergrad and graduate school and have taken challenging classes in a wide variety of studies. I am comfortable assisting with household errands, cleaning, and pick up/drop off to appointments or school. I own my own home and live in SW Beaverton. I drive a Subaru Crosstrek. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Tobie $16 per hour for 1 child

About Me: I am a dedicated and responsible caregiver with extensive experience working with children, seniors, and pets. Currently, I am studying psychology and sociology at Willamette University. My background includes babysitting for children where I provided comprehensive care, including supervising activities, cooking nutritious meals, and ensuring a safe environment. I have a strong commitment to following parental guidelines and actively listening to family needs. Experience: In my babysitting roles, I was responsible for bathing, playing, and putting children to bed. I ensured their safety by regularly assessing the environment for potential hazards and accompanying them on approved outings and after-school activities. I have also assisted children with homework and projects, fostering a supportive atmosphere that encourages their growth. As a camp counselor at an overnight summer camp, I ran various activities and provided emotional support to campers, particularly those struggling with homesickness. My experience in before-and-after school care involved planning engaging activities while monitoring safety and facilitating conflict resolution among children. In addition, my role as an activities assistant at a memory care facility has equipped me with the skills to work compassionately with elderly and disabled residents. I led events and holiday celebrations, focusing on enhancing their quality of life through meaningful engagement. Personality Traits and Talents: I am patient, nurturing, and attentive, qualities that I believe are essential for any caregiver. My ability to actively listen and communicate effectively ensures that both children and parents feel heard and supported. I am also creative, often bringing new ideas for games and activities that are both fun and educational. Overall, my diverse experience and commitment to fostering a positive environment make me a great caregiver. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your family and provide exceptional care.

Julia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone! My name is Julia and I’m recent graduate from Oregon State University. I’m offering childcare services, household services, and pet care services. I have childcare experience with multiple-child families, ages 2-12. I’m able to run errands, grocery shop, clean, make meals and snacks, and laundry if requested. For pet care, I have experience with both cats and dogs. I have a cat of my own so I’m well-versed in playing, changing litter, and on-time feeding. I love playing with the animals as well, and will give them great company! I don’t have allergies to any pets. A little more about me: I love to cook new recipes, read fiction books, be out in nature, bird watch, and do arts and crafts. One of my favorite crafts I did as a kid was making fairy houses! You can take bark, leaves, sticks and twigs, moss, and anything else you can find outside (+ hot glue) and make something magical. Pro tip: Dust the top of it with fairy dust (glitter) when the kids go to bed so they wake up to a little fairy surprise!
