Destiny Grants Pass
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Destiny, and caring for others has always been a big part of my life. As the oldest of six younger siblings, I’ve had years of hands-on experience nurturing children of all ages. I also worked for six years at an after-school program, where I supported kids in their learning, growth, and play. I have experience working with children with autism, as well as in adult foster care, which has given me a deeper level of patience, compassion, and understanding for people with diverse needs. Families can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. I’m also outgoing, energetic, and love to engage children in fun, creative activities. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking, light housework, and keeping things running smoothly at home. I’d love the opportunity to provide a safe, supportive, and fun environment for your family!

Hello, My name is Ellen and I reside on the West side of Grants Pass. I moved here 10 years ago from the San Francisco Bay Area for a slower pace of life and to further experience my love of Nature. I am the eldest of 7 children (my Father a Teacher and my Mother a Nurse) and have had many years of experience. For example, I cared not only for my parents/siblings, but ran an In-Home Day Care for 6 years. I also worked within my Community at private homes. I am comfortable with children of any age and really enjoy teaching them about the joy of Nature. Additionally, I have cared for the Senior Population for over 10 years and find it to be very rewarding. I have worked in Grants Pass, Oregon, at private homes, Adult Foster Homes, Assisted Living and Memory Care Facilities as well. My experience is vast: I am proficient in Medication Management, all types of ADL’s, Hospice Care, Rehabilitation, and Companion Care. My skills are: Distribution, ordering and management of all medications including Insulin Dependency and Diabetes. I also offer Meal Preparation, Bathing, Dressing, Feeding, Wound Care, Transportation to and from Doctors Appointments, Light Housekeeping, Assist with Mobility, Tasks of Daily Living and keeping Seniors in their Homes. I am a Medical Assistant, and I have worked with the Alzheimer’s Population as well as being active within our Community. Should my experience with caring for Children and/or the Senior Population be a possible fit for your family, I would be honored to meet you. Kind Regards, Ellen

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
