Hello there, I’m Emily! I’m a 23 years old nanny old full time nanny looking to add some more families to my evening and weekend sitting list! I have 7 years of experience with a wide range of ages.

I am CPR and first aide certified, have taken safe sleep trainings, took many college courses on early childhood development and education and many other trainings throughout my years of working with kiddos. I love to be very creative and active when it comes to working with kids and spend all the time I can outside. I love a hands on, learn through play approach and try to find a small lesson in everything I do. I’d love to chat more and see if I would be a good fit for your family!

Hello! I have been working with children for over 15 years! My first job in high school was as a nanny and tutor, and I then went on to be an instructor and program director on Catalina Island. Here instructed kids from 3rd grade - 12th grade in Biology and History in accordance with the California State Curriculum. Afterwards I got my degree in Teaching and History from Azusa Pacific University where I logged over 200 hours of in-class experience. After college I worked as a nanny and tutor in California, Madrid, London, and Australia for children aged 0 - 21 (with special needs). I have experience working with families of all different backgrounds and languages, as well as tutoring kids with learning disabilities and special needs (specifically Autism and Dyslexia). I am very active and like to take kids on walks, to the zoo, to the park, and play lots of games. I am currently in the process of applying to Graduate School for teaching so that I can further my work with children. If you have any questions, please reach out to me! I can't wait to get to know your family!

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!

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.
