Hi! My name is Ashlyn, and I just graduated with a B.S. in psychology from Santa Clara University. I grew up helping take care of my younger brothers, including one who is nine years younger than me, so babysitting has always felt very natural to me. I’m patient, responsible, and love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for kids. I’m also very comfortable around pets! I love both dogs and cats and have one dog and two cats at home, so I’m happy to help with families who have pets as well. I would love the opportunity to support your family and make sure your children feel cared for and engaged while you’re away.

Hi my name is Yelena I grew up in a multicultural family where I learned the importance of responsibility, kindness, and helping others. From a young age, my mother taught me how to keep things clean and organized, and I also learned to cook and enjoy preparing meals for others. I’m a great listener, always willing to support the people around me, and I bring a positive attitude to everything I do. As a mom, I have a 17-year-old who is graduating this year, a 5-year-old son with autism who has taught me patience and understanding, and a very energetic 3-year-old. Through raising my children, I’ve gained hands-on experience with different ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy caring for others—whether it’s children, seniors, or helping with everyday tasks

I am a high school graduate who is currently looking for work with babysitting, because I spent a lot of my childhood doing it unpaid, in that my parents would often visit their friends and bring me along, but I was always 5-6 years older than all of their friends children, so I would end up as the childcare person for the duration of their parties. I’ve always been naturally good at getting along with children, and I have lots of experience with them thanks to the aforementioned parent gatherings. I am looking to go to college next year, where I will be earning a teaching degree before applying to become an elementary school teacher, so I figured that babysitting would be a great part time job to help me get better at interacting with children and childcare situations before I dedicate my life to it. I hope that we can work together and have a good, trusting relationship, parents!

I am 39 years old, a recent graduate from PSU, with a minor in child, youth and family studies. I have been working at a therapeutic school for the last year with students aged 9-14. I have prior experience working with pre-school aged children and their families. I enjoy working with Autistic children. I will be starting grad school in the fall for school counseling. I have been a devoted cat dad for 16 years. I have been utilized for pet sitting and house sitting with rave reviews. I previously had my own catering busines, am an avid gardener, and have a background in art. I do love cooking and working with kids in the kitchen. I have experience as a private chef, including live-in services for a vegan family with young children. I love reading with kids, playing board games, encouraging music and exploration of the imagination.

Hello! I am originally from Ethiopia. I have lived in the U.S. for 18 years now. I love learning and spending time with my loved ones. Amidst the pandemic, in 2020, I graduated from University of Portland with my Bachelor's degree in Biology minoring in Chemistry and Neuroscience. Ultimately, I would like to pursue a career in healthcare. Therefore, I have been working as a CNA since graduating. I enjoy being around people caring for the vulnerable, it is a true passion of mine. I love kids and have had previous experience working with children and their parents (i.e. at a preschool/childcare during high school). I believe that my background and skillset will allow me to genuinely care for you and your family.
