Find a wedding babysitter in Gresham, OR

Every family wants the same thing from a caregiver. They want someone they can trust with the people and animals they love most. I'm Elizabeth, and caring for others has shaped my whole life. I'm a single mom to four boys who are grown or in college. I spent 16 years as a K-8 teacher with Douglas County School District. I also worked with the Family Support Council of Douglas County as a community educator, program manager, and grant coordinator. That role was all about supporting local families. Earlier in my career, I worked with Summerlin, a senior living community. What I bring: Kids: I've spent my career in classrooms and my life raising boys. I know how to keep kids safe, engaged, and learning. Structure and routine come naturally to me. Emotional support: I hold a master's in gifted education from Arizona State University. I'm also certified in SENG social-emotional coaching. I'm trained to help kids name big feelings and work through them. Calm in conflict: My bachelor's degree includes conflict resolution. Four boys gave me plenty of practice. Sibling disputes don't rattle me. Seniors: My time with Summerlin gave me deep respect for older adults. I bring patience, dignity, and a good ear. Pets: I share my home with a chihuahua, cats, and a very energetic lab. I also foster kittens. Small dogs have big opinions, and labs have endless energy. I keep up with both. Household help: I run a busy home of five. Schedules, meals, and daily logistics are second nature. I'm calm, organized, and warm. I'm a certified life coach, so listening is part of how I work. I communicate clearly with parents and families. I bring humor to the hard days. Hiking is my favorite way to spend time outdoors. Your family deserves care that's steady, kind, and consistent. I'd love to provide it.

Hiya! I hold National Board Certification in Early Childhood, an active AZ Teaching License, and a handful of other education licenses! I have 23 years experience in education, teaching Pre-K through 5th grade, and executive experience in curriculum and leadership. Happy to babysit, tutor, provide educational experiences—whatever you need!

I am a career nanny and have been working with children in their homes for over 18 years. I love caring for infants but also love taking toddlers out to explore the world. Watching children learn and grow never gets old!

Hi I’m an older college student looking to work with some fun kids! I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was ten years old. The first time I was first aid and infant CPR certified was at fourteen years old. My favorite family was a family friend that I babysat for regularly. It started with two kids elementary age and ended with four kids ranging from infant to middle school age. I love outside activities with kids to get energy out and doing projects or “homework” that is fun for the kids and also helps them learn. I am open to a lot of situations.

I have several years of childcare experience, including nannying for a one-year-old for the past year and caring for a two- and three-year-old for two years. I’ve also worked at summer camps, so I’m comfortable planning activities and keeping kids engaged. I’m outgoing, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I’m currently in graduate school for counseling, which has strengthened my ability to connect with children and support their emotional development. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs and am very comfortable with pets. My schedule is flexible.
