Hi, my name is Ryleigh Kern, and I have a true passion for working with children. I’ve been caring for kids for over 10 years through nannying, babysitting, helping in a preschool classroom, and now working at a daycare. I’m currently in college working toward my dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher. I love watching children grow, learn new skills, and explore the world around them. Whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, or learning through play, I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I’m a very positive and friendly person, and I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both kids and their families. I make sure to clean up after activities, keep children safe at all times, and communicate openly with parents about what we did and how the day went. Being a part of a child’s learning journey means so much to me, and I feel incredibly grateful every time I get to play a role in their growth and development.

I have worked in the chid care setting in different capacities since a teenager. I have always had a passion for the importance of Early Childhood Education which lead me to continuing my education in ECE, nannying here and there, becoming a preschool teacher and Teacher Advocate for many years, among many other rolls throughout the years helping to promote quality care and positive experiences for children and their families. I love activities centered around music, books, visits to the local library, cooking/baking, art/science exploration, and community/family enrichment. I am enrolled in the Central Background Registry with the state of Oregon Department of Early Learning (registry number and proof can be provided on request).

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because it allows me to connect with children and witness their pure joy and curiosity as they explore the world around them. There’s nothing quite like seeing their faces light up during fun activities or sharing a laugh together. Building meaningful relationships with both the children and their families is incredibly rewarding, and it makes the experience even more special. What experience do you have? I started my journey by babysitting for friends and family, which laid the foundation for my love of caring for children. I then worked at a daycare catering to infants up to five-year-olds, where I honed my skills in engaging with children at various developmental stages. Most importantly, I was fortunate enough to find a private nannying position with a family I met through the daycare. The bond I formed with their son was remarkable; we shared so many adventures, and I enjoyed helping him achieve milestones in swimming and learning. What skills and training do you have? I have developed strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and patience through my experiences working with children. I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment that fosters growth and exploration. My background in daycare and nannying has equipped me with practical skills in child development, communication, and creative play. Additionally, I am planning to pursue a degree at COCC to become a paramedic, which reflects my commitment to helping others and making a positive impact in their lives.
