Hello my name is Steven. I'm a part time preschool teacher and part time babysitter with more than 10 years the child care experience. I’m patient, caring, and dependable individual who smoke free. I am CPR and First aid trained as well a food handlers card. The main reason I enjoy working with children is seeing them grow and learn new things. I don’t just work preschooler I have worked with children of all age throughout my child care career from infants to elementary and middle school age. I understand the conflict to trust a stranger with your child or children which why I strive to offer my best to both the parents and the children.

Hey everyone! I'm Kayla, I'm 30 and have my Bachelors in HDFS/Child Development. I have babysitting experience with children 8 months-10 years old, and 1 years experience in a child care facility with children 6 weeks-12 years old. I also completed student teaching for my degree, with kids 3-5 years where I developed and implemented lesson plans! I really enjoy working with kids, and prioritize their safety as well as supporting them in all areas of their development! I'm registered with the Oregon Central Background Registry. I've been a nanny for an almost 3 year old since she was 22 months! Looking for weekend babysitting or weekdays after 3pm. In Corvallis only :)

I am passionate and excited when it comes to working with kids and providing care! I am currently a student teacher working towards being an elementary teacher. I have worked in a variety of childcare centers for the past four years and am CPR/first aid certified. My approach to babysitting and childcare is grounded in warmth, attentiveness, and respect for each child as their own unique person. I strongly believe in child-led play, where kids are encouraged to explore their interests, make choices, and take the lead while I provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment. Whether that means diving into imaginative play, spending time outdoors, creating art, or focusing on something they’re currently curious about. I love fostering children’s natural interests and helping them feel confident and heard. I prioritize safety, fun and clear communication, while also making sure children feel comfortable, happy, and genuinely excited to spend time with me. My goal is always for parents to feel at ease knowing their child is cared for with patience, creativity, and genuine care.

Hi! My name is Adelaide, and I’m currently a student at OSU studying Recreation and Adventure Leadership. I have over 5 years of childcare experience and have held current CPR and First Aid certifications for the past 4 years. I also have about 3 years of experience teaching swim lessons and coaching swim club for kids ages 5–16, which has helped me become confident managing groups, keeping kids engaged, and making safety a top priority while still having fun. I’m responsible, patient, and energetic, and I love creating a safe, positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’m happy to help with routines, activities, homework, and keeping kids active and entertained. My goal is always to make parents feel confident and kids feel cared for while you’re away!

I like kids! They are creative and fun. I am very aware that they can be a pain sometimes, but I have learned some techniques to handle them. This last summer (2023) I have been working at the Museum of the Rockies (MOR) as a summer camp instructor. I just finished week 7. The 8th and final week begins next Monday. Throughout the summer I was involved with kids grades 1-8 (6-14 years of age although I am pretty sure there were a couple 5 year olds). Group sizes have been between 10 and 17. There was almost always two adults watching kids at all times. I could handle more all 17 kids for short periods of time, but it was a lot. 5 or less kids was pretty manageable for me by myself. We did lots of games, crafts, and a handful of lessons throughout the summer. I love education. Whether it is kids or adults I love teaching others about subjects I am passionate about. When I am not working, I volunteer at the MOR doing the dino cart. I got my bachelor's degree at MSU just last May (2023). My major was Earth Science-Paleontology. I also got a minor in English-writing. I love to write and read. I am a big science fiction nerd. I love presenting science to others in a way they can understand. I love being outside in nature and i don't mind getting my hands dirty so long as I can clean up afterwards. I also don't mind sitting around watching a kid friendly movie, or just relaxing. I love board games and card games as well. I am also fairly patient, but not too afraid to put my foot down. I am also not a picky eater. I am also an Eagle Scout. I went from being a cub scout being taught by older scouts and adults to being the older scout and adult who taught. Our troop held a day camp for cub scouts during the summer. I did babysit someone who was somewhere between the age of 6-9 once. It was fun. I was in middle school or high school at the time.

During that time, I completed annual training focused on child safety, emergency procedures, and developmentally appropriate care. I am dependable, organized, and attentive, and I prioritize maintaining a safe and positive environment for children. I enjoy supporting children through structured activities, and playtime. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to better support and communicate with families from different backgrounds.

Hi! My name is Jane and I grew up in a large family so I’ve basically been a babysitter my whole life!

Hello! My name is Julianna and I am currently a student at Oregon State University. I have had lots of babysitting experience along with some nannying and petsitting experience. I am comfortable watching multiple children at a time including young babies and infants.

I've been working as a substitute teacher for a couple years now and before that as an educator in different environments as a camp counselor for many many years.
