Find experienced babysitters in Columbia City, OR

Hi there! I am Abby (she/her). I graduated from the University of Washington in June 2024. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education, Communities, and Organizations with Disability Studies and American Indian Studies minors. I have been caring for children for 6 years as a babysitter and as the oldest sibling, as well as supervising children in summer camp and school settings. My babysitting experience ranges in ages from infant to twelve. I recently cared for a one year old for six months, starting when she was only six months herself - this included diaper changes, feedings, putting her down for naps, and taking her on adventures to Kids Club, swimming, and free events at the local library. I have also babysat toddlers and assisted them with potty training. I also babysit families with siblings ranging in ages of 2-4 and 6-10. I truly love working with kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. With each family I understand cleaning is not expected but light housework such as dishes, vacuuming, and tidying up the toy room is no problem for me! I have experience babysitting children with ASD and ADHD. I have found success in building relationships with these children through discussing triggers, what the child enjoys, and boundaries with parents before we start working together. I am also passionate about working with children with disabilities in the school setting. I am currently a substitute, often filling in as a paraprofessional. From September 2023 to May 2024 I held an internship as a substitute paraprofessional in the Seattle Public School system, regularly working at Concord International Elementary School. Nothing makes me happier than reading, doing crafts, playing games/puzzles and being outside! My number one focus is keeping the children happy but most importantly safe. I have my CPR certification and can run a background check upon request. I'm available ONLY on weekends, hopefully for the occasional date night. I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your children!

Being a babysitter is more than just watching kids; it's about creating a safe and fun environment where they can thrive. It's about being responsible and trustworthy, ensuring their well-being while their parents are away. I love planning engaging activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor games, that keep the children entertained and help them learn. It's also incredibly rewarding to build connections with the kids, becoming someone they look up to and trust. Handling different personalities and age groups teaches me patience and adaptability. Knowing I'm making a positive impact on their lives and providing peace of mind to their parents makes babysitting an enriching experience. Plus, every babysitting job is a new adventure with unique challenges and heartwarming moments!

Hello! My name is Raven, I am 21 years old and a high school graduate! I have lots of childcare experience, both professional childcare jobs and “non-professionally”through friends and family! I've worked as a student mentor with children grades 1st through 4th, I've also worked in a day care setting with children ages 0-5. In my childcare positions, I have been tasked with monitoring active and engaging play both indoors and outdoors, limiting screen time, meal prepping, bathroom changes, cleaning up, and more! I'm a very responsible and organized person, as well as a fast learner! In my free time I do a lot of scrapbooking and drawing. I love arts and crafts, watching fun cartoons and playing! I love animals and don't mind assisting in pet care as well! I have a reliable mode of transportation. Additionally, I have lots of experience in house chores, cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I’m looking to leave my retail job in order to seek out other opportunities and get back into childcare! I would need two weeks notice before beginning, but after that I can do weekends, early mornings, and late nights. Just let me know what works best for you. :)

Hello! I am a nanny with 15+ years experience with kids ranging from infants up to 12 years old. Most of my experience has been with babies and toddlers, but I love all ages! This is my nanny philosophy: When you come into someone’s home as their nanny, you are essentially becoming a member of their family. It is so important to bond with the family as a whole, and build that connection of trust. As your nanny, I will do whatever I can to make sure your kids feel loved, valued, respected, happy and safe. I realize that these are your children and they mean more than the world to you, so I want to care for them exactly the way you want them to be cared for. I also think that communication is very important - if there is something I’m doing that you want me to do differently, I will do my best to do it the way you prefer, no questions asked! I believe that as a nanny and parents, we are a team, and we are all working towards the same goal together; to help these kids be the best little people they can be! :)

As the oldest of seven children, I’ve always had a natural instinct for caring for and guiding others. With three years of experience teaching third graders at my church and recently earning my teaching license in WA state, I’m passionate about fostering safe and fun experiences for kids. I’m First Aid and CPR certified, ensuring their well-being is my top priority. Currently graduating with my associate degree and heading to university for my bachelor’s, I’m excited to bring my dedication and nurturing skills to every family I work with.
