Jacklyn W., Babysitter in Lafayette, OR 97127 with 13 years of paid experience

Hey! I’ve spent over 13 years caring for kids and absolutely love it. I’ve helped raise children of people who started as strangers & are now close family friends—many since birth—and have stayed closely connected with those families as the kids have grown. That personal, long-term involvement has been incredibly meaningful to me and is the same relationship I would wish for my own kiddos when introducing a new face into my home. While I’m no longer actively coaching, I spent over 10 years coaching and that experience really helped me build a strong connection and understanding of how to communicate, encourage, and support kids of all ages. I have a strong medical background (CPR, First Aid, BLS, EMT-P) and currently work part-time at OHSU (Portland) with the OHSU DPS Emergency Communications Center. I bring a calm, capable presence to every family I support. At this juncture in life, I’m prioritizing flexibility and doing something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with kids and supporting families. It helps ease the financial load from falling solely on my husband, but more importantly, allows me to be more present at home with our teenager and do something that comes naturally to me. That’s what brings me back here—and I’d love to connect with families looking for someone experienced, warm, and dependable!

Sarah P., Babysitter in Lafayette, OR 97127 with 1 year of paid experience

Hi! I'm Sarah, and I'm passionate about creating safe, Hi! I'm Sarah, and I'm passionate about creating safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive and have fun. As a devoted single mother, I successfully raised my 20-year-old daughter and 19-year-old son, and they still consider me their biggest confidant – something I'm incredibly proud of. My parenting journey also included caring for my brother's two young children, which provided me with extensive hands-on experience with multiple age groups and family dynamics. Currently, I'm pursuing my Master's degree in Mental Health Psychology, which deepens my understanding of child development and emotional well-being. This education, combined with my real-world parenting experience, helps me connect with children on their level while providing the structure and support they need. Safety is my top priority – I'm trained and certified in both CPR and First Aid, giving parents peace of mind when their little ones are in my care. I believe childhood should be filled with joy, creativity, and discovery, so I focus on creating a playful atmosphere where children feel secure enough to explore, learn, and simply be kids. What I love most about working with children is being there for them during important moments – whether that's helping with homework, listening to their stories, or simply providing a caring presence. I understand that every child is unique, and I adapt my approach to meet each child's individual needs and personality. I'm here to support your family and provide reliable, loving care that enables your children to flourish, giving you the confidence and peace of mind you deserve.
