Find experienced babysitters in Independence, OR

My life has been all about kids! I've been an educator for 7 years, two of which were for students with special needs and autism. I've taught across multiple subject areas, including English as a Second Language and an intensive reading course. Kids have helped me become more enthusiastic, energetic and joyful. They have shown me the importance of creativity and silliness in the learning process. I am comfortable with crying, throw up, and dirty diapers. I'm definitely not afraid to play dress up, build Lego mansions, or pull out my "best" dance moves to make a kiddo smile! I'm a believer of "work hard -play hard" and "rules are for a reason."

I have many years of experience working with children and truly enjoy it. I’ve babysat for several families and can provide references from parents upon request. I also have a child of my own who is now older, and kids have always been drawn to me. In addition to babysitting, I have over 4.5 years of caregiving experience and previously worked in a daycare for a few years while I was in high school — a job I genuinely loved. Many of the families I’ve worked with have stayed in touch over the years as their children have grown, which means a lot to me. I’m a dependable, patient, and caring person who understands that working with kids takes time, understanding, and heart — but that’s what life is all about. I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, play, and grow in a positive environment.
