Hello dear families! I am dependable and dedicated babysitter that’s been babysitting since I was 14. I went on a few mission trips to orphanages and helped out with kids, I also was a dedicated helper at a Sunday school for years. Flexible and adaptable to any circumstance that babysitting will offer, please don’t hesitate to ask more questions. Oh, and I just love children, I think I got that from being the oldest that comes from a big friendly family! I am here to make your day just a little more relaxed and joyful.

My name is Karly and I am currently 36 years old. I value integrity, vulnerability, compassion, growth, creativity and autonomy. Currently I am a social worker that specializes in behavioral but will be leaving my role on the county crisis team. I recently went back to school and am in a nursing program now. I plan to nanny for the next 18 months-2 years until I have my BSN and RN license. I have a wide range of experience nannying: Occasional sitting, after-school sitting, regular full-time nanny, and live-in nanny for triplet infants until they were 4 years old. I have numerous years of mixed experiences and families. I would love to share more about the families I have worked with. I am CPR/First Aid trained as well as educated on several therapeutic approaches when caring for children especially if they are escalated. I have worked in childcare centers as well as Children's hospital because I love to volunteer. Keeping active and structured to create positive behavior, I strive for that. I cook, clean and love animals.

I grew up in a family of 5 and I’m the middle child, we all have children and I’m surrounded by children. I love to cook, I’m a very good cook and grocery shopper as well! I love children. I have 2 grandchildren and they are the light of my light. I helped raise them until they moved to Oklahoma when they were 9 and 11. I cooked, cleaned, took them to church, school, helped with homework, all the extra things their Mom needed help with. My mother lived with me the last 5 years of her life. She was sick the last 2. She was on home hospice with me the last 6 months of her life and I was her caregiver. When I was in my early 20’s I was a CNA in a couple of nursing homes, so I knew what to do. I took the last year of work off to be with her. I loved taking care of her. I’m a very loving Christian woman and I would love to take care of your family. I love dogs too and I’m happy to pet sit as well! I have decided to not go back to high pressure sales and be of service to a nice family that needs a nice older woman that has some energy and experience.

I’m a loving and committed teacher with years of experience teaching and working with children ages birth to 6 in a variety of settings. I was the owner and provider of Early Years Development Center for many years, I also worked in preschools and infant toddler programs over 10 years in the greater Portland Metropolitan area. I have an Associates degree in Early childhood education, current CPR/ First aid. I have taken many trainings related to the field including Safe back to sleep, I have a passion for Early Childhood learning and play, and learning and discovering new things. I love animals, travel, reading, walking and my Corgi dog Lucy!

I really like children, it’s really something I’m very passionate about, I like to make them laugh and always look for ways to do activities that have nothing to do with technology...
