Cielle H., Babysitter in Independence, OR 97351 with 13 years of paid experience

I started babysitting when I was 12 as my first job and I just fell in love with it and have been doing it ever since! Working with kids has it’s challenges but I find the pros always outweigh the cons. I am I fun, active and patient person who loves to go with the flow. My hobbies include hiking, scrapbooking and exploring new places. I’m always down for an adventure! I have found that my personality and my passion for teaching children has helped me become a really great nanny. While I still am a nanny part time, I am looking to add some extra hours to my schedule if the right family thinks I might be a good fit.

Hailey P., Babysitter in Independence, OR 97351 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi there! I'm a 19 year old who's looking for a part-time baby/petsitting job. I have some experience watching and meal prepping for younger kids with food allergies, (roughly a year). I'm willing to be flexible with pay on account of my experience amount with younger kids. I love hanging out with kids and I feel I can be a good friend as well as a caretaker. On the side I'm a licensed real estate agent. I have 3 cats and a dog. I love crafting and playing video games with my friends. I have a fairly free schedule and im willing to do days off pattern with ample warning. I drive my own car (clean record!) and I am comfortable being out later at night. I hope I can help some families out!

Alina  G., Babysitter in Independence, OR 97351 with 0 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Alina. I’ve always loved being around kids — their energy, imagination, and little personalities bring me so much joy. While I don’t have formal experience yet, I’ve helped care for kids in my family over the years. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with things like tidying up, dishes, or light cleaning while I’m there. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust in your home and with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and support you however I can!

Hi there! I have worked with children of many ages, mostly 1.5-5 year olds. I'm a big believer in the importance of play and being outside as much as possible! I encourage and participate in child-led play inside and out. I have experience in homes as well as Head Start and other preschool programs. I have over a decade of caregiving experience.

Brikel W., Babysitter in Independence, OR 97351 with 7 years of paid experience

I absolutely love children! I grew up helping care for younger siblings and went on to study human development in college. I graduated with an emphasis in family studies and learned a lot about child development. I worked as a preschool teacher in Southern Utah before spending two years abroad as an English teacher to children ages 2-12. I have volunteered with children in a Chinese orphanage and worked with children in a number of different capacities. I currently have a full time job working with elderly and disabled adults and am available for weekend and date nights. I love arts and crafts, dancing, animals, and anything outdoors. I adore spending my days with little ones and helping them explore the world.

Hello. I am a retired trauma nurse who has a lifetime of experience with children. I have raised 2 sons, taken care of many ill and injured children during a 20 year nursing career, volunteered in elementary school class rooms, and I have been the neighborhood Grandmother in areas I have lived. I live with my two cats Leo and Happy. I also have an indoor rabbit named Shadow. I live in a senior park now and I'm looking to supplement my income while working with children who keep me young at heart and on my toes. My full attention and care will be provided. I enjoy playing board games, cards, being outdoors, art projects, discussions, cooking with children, science projects, homework help, reading together, and teaching opportunities. I have passed the CBR background check to work with children Oct. 2, 2024. Registry number available. I am up to date with CPR and First Aid certification. I am available for date nights and part time work. Thank you.

Emily  P., Babysitter in Independence, OR 97351 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Emily! I'm currently in nursing school with a focus on pediatrics, with aspirations to become a travel nurse! I thrive in outdoor settings, especially during the summer! I have a lot of random hobbies and always love to be doing something! My background primarily includes working with elementary, preschool and infant age groups! I’ve been a preschool teacher for a few years and a personal nanny to a variety of age groups/backgrounds for many years! I am the oldest sibling/niece/grandchild and have a big family with over 30+ cousins. So being the oldest I naturally grew up playing and caring for younger children and that grew my love for tiny humans! I have my BLS/CPR and have experience with special needs! Please let me know if you’d like a copy of my resume in learning more about my experience for your consideration!

Welcome, thanks for taking time out of your day to read my bio. I know how hard it is finding that perfect person to leave your child with, I watched my mother struggle with the same thing all my life. While I may not have much paid experience as your ideal candidate, I assure you I am just as valuable a sitter as someone with many years under their belt. This is due to my experience raising my 6 cousins throughout my high school and community college years. I have also volunteered at places like Vacation Bible School and YMCA programs with children of all ages. So, while my experience wasn’t paid, it was just as valuable. I promise to use those opportunities give your child (or children) the best experience possible while you are away.
