Find experienced babysitters in Cottage Grove, OR

I am currently a freshman at Western Oregon University and I am majoring in elementary education. I have had experience working with kids in a center and in a montessori school along with summer nannying, for the past 4 years. In this time I got the chance to work with kids ranging from six months to nine years. I adore kids and every moment spent with them is special in its own way.

I have two younger siblings who are now 8 and 12 years old. I grew up being a reliable babysitter for them for many years. During the pandemic, my siblings could not go to in-person school so I helped them stay on top of reading, writing, and math. I am CRP certified, and I have a certification in safe sleep for Oregon infants. I love to be outside, cooking, cleaning, drawing, and painting.

I babysat as a teenager, but I consider my child care experience not only from being a mom, but my ten years as a very involved Waldorf School parent. Which is a wholistic, art based education with a hands on emphasis. It's a wonderful background to have. I am an articulate, lively, active person who loves to go outside and play. I was the fun mom that everyone wanted to ride with on outings. I love handwork and music and good quality local organic food. I love well behaved pets and I have two horses of my own. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but kids love me because I'm active and I'm interested in a lot of different things. I'm not a super big tv person myself but I don't mind kids having their favorite shows, but on my watch it's not going to just be all tv. On top of that I'm a solid dish washing, floor sweeping, trash taker outer. I like things picked up and no grown ups ever argue with that. I'm currently studying Spanish on the side and I absolutely love sharing that with the little ones who pick it up so quickly. I have a great relationship with my own daughter and excellent references for childcare. I'm happy to answer any questions.

Full time nanny since 2020, whose been babysitting since I was 12. Was a lifeguard and swim instructor for 4 summers. I love helping families enjoy they're time while ensuring their child's safety, well being, and happiness. I love music, crafts, and playing fun imaginary games, and reading.

Hi, my name is Claire! I love being a sitter because my passion is working and helping kiddos! I love spending time with children and doing fun games and crafts with them. I would love to be a mom someday. I have a lot of unpaid experience working with children. I volunteered at my grandmas daycare/preschool and church nursery since I was in 5th grade. My mom also had another baby when I was in 7th grade so I have a lot of experience with babies and toddlers. I have about 1 year of paid babysitting experience where I worked with two children with autism. I am very good at coming up with fun crafts and games. I am very high energy and fun! I am CPR/First Aid certified.
