Sittercity helps Venice families find the best babysitters

Hi there! I’m Erin, a 35-year-old with a passion for working with children. I’m currently seeking part-time opportunities but am open to full-time work as well. Over the years, I’ve worn a few hats, from nannying to teaching outdoors at Whole Child Montessori School in Portland, and even working as a rock climbing instructor. With a background in English from the University of Missouri - Columbia, I also bring a love for learning and creativity to everything I do. In my free time, you can usually find me climbing, running, or exploring the outdoors on hikes. Adventure and activity are a big part of my life, and I love bringing that spirit to my work with children. My approach is all about empowering kids to make safe, informed decisions while offering plenty of positive reinforcement and compassion. I always make sure to keep things light with a sense of humor and embrace their unique personalities—there’s nothing quite like seeing kids shine in their own goofy ways! With over ten years of experience caring for infants through to older kids, I’m well-equipped for the energy and excitement that comes with the job. Coming from a big family myself, I know how to keep up with the lively atmosphere that kids bring. I especially enjoy encouraging imaginative play, getting outside for adventures, and diving into a good story together. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted, and I’d love the chance to connect with you and your family! Warmly, Erin

Hi! My name is Paiton I am 20 years old and in the process of getting a degree in languages studies with five years of experience providing childcare for families. My passion for working with children stems from a desire to positively impact their lives and support families in need of reliable care. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I'm a creative and friendly person. My worldly knowledge and quick thinking allow me to adapt to various situations and engage children effectively. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates and following their preferred communication method. With my experience and skills, I'm comfortable caring for up to four children of all ages. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment.

I have 10 years of early childcare experience. I have experience with babysitting, leading summer camps, and working in early childcare centers. I can help with daily routines, remote learning/small lesson plans, and sometimes travel for example. I have both my Bachelors and Masters in Criminal Justice & Criminology. Throughout my years in school, I also took many courses centered around childcare and development. I am currently CPR and First Aid/Oxygen certified and also have up to date clock hours. I have primarily worked with infants through 5 year olds; however, I do have experience working with school aged and older children.

My name is Crystal. I am 40 years young with lots of time in childcare. I have two grown young men both looking into being in the arts. One loves music and making sounds. The other a graphic arts designer. As high schooler, I took Child Development because I've always loved children. I would say I want ten however, I was only able to have two. I am looking to foster a child and adopt. I was adopted at two weeks old so I learned to love unconditionally at an early age. I love to teach. I took seven years of Spanish in school and I'm refreshing as I continue to teach. I'm also learning sign language. I have numerous clock hours and CPR training from my current and previous jobs. My goal is to open my own center and retire watching all my babies grow in productive and respectful individuals. I AM VERY COVID CAUTIOUS! My son is diabetic and lives at home.

I am a very loving person, I am energetic, active and creative and very patient. You can count on me to be there in times of emergencies and last minute needs of childcare. I am trustworthy and can ensure that your child will be always in a safe environment, and treated as I would my very own, if I had any children. I enjoy learning kids many different personlities and interest, and I am always open to new adventures or unique styles of play and fun. I love to laugh, really laugh and will do whatever it takes to get the kid to smile and have the best time they deserve and should as often as possible. They are our future and have so many great talents that should be given the chance to show as much as they or willing to express themselves.  Yolanda
