Hello! My name is Jenica and I am a 27-year-old mom of 2 (9&3years old). I have 1 year past experience with seniors and disabled in-home care. I am currently working at a licensed PFA daycare/preschool with children of all backgrounds, ages 2-6. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have my food handler's certification. I am participating in on-going training through my current work that allows me to further my knowledge and expertise in childcare of all ages. I am hoping to find extra work to care for my family and help others care for theirs. I am willing to care for pets; I currently live on a homestead and am not foreign to animals of all kinds. I was a maid for 3 years and provide excellent cleaning skills wherever needed. I don't have any background in cooking, but my kids never complain when I am in the kitchen.

Hello! My name is Sarah and I would love to work with your family! I am currently living in Salem and work in Portland where I manage a dance studio and work with children of all ages. I love to dance, be outdoors, cook, and listen to music. I am the second oldest of five siblings and I have always loved to be around kids. I have ample babysitting and petsitting experience from helping with my siblings growing up, family friends, and families I have worked with through Urban Sitters. I am comfortable with all ages, driving, petsitting, house sitting, and doing household chores.

Being brought up in a large family, I have always felt a deep relevance to the world of childhood. Being around and working with many ages I discovered a deep connection to and strong interest in the earliest stages of human life. I find it a profound privilege to provide the gentle, attentive presence that babies need to feel safe and secure as they begin to explore their world. In my most recent role as a 1:4 infant caregiver, I had the honor of caring for a group of four babies starting when they were just seven weeks old. Being a consistent part of their first year allowed me to bond deeply with each child and support their unique developmental leaps with patience and compassion. I believe that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and nurtured with individualized care that respects their pace, personality, and at home lifestyle. I am now transitioning primarily to in-home care to offer families a more personal, dedicated experience. Whether you are looking for a long-term addition to your family's routine or simply need a reliable hand for one-time sitting, my goal is always the same: to provide a nurturing environment where your child feels completely loved and supported. I am excited to continue contributing to the beautiful early stages of life in the comfort of the child’s home, where they can grow, feel secure, and thrive.
