Find experienced babysitters in Sandy, OR

17 years of safe, engaging, skill building fun facilitation; supplemented with homework help, tutoring, and academic support... While attending university, I began facilitating recreation therapy respite for families adjusted by developmental differences. I also continued with the YMCA, YWCA and local youth bureau; all while also living and serving with the local volunteer fire department. Upon graduation I accepted a couple roles as Program Director, but soon realized that front line work was my truest passion. Since my work as a Family Advocate, Wilderness Therapy Guide, Kids Ski Instructor, "Manny" (Nanny), Firefighter, Alpine Manager, Mountain Bike Coach, Lifeguard, and Summer Camp Director for multiple camps, I have gained and honed a diverse skill set. My experience provides families with a compassionate, professional, fun loving, supportive, flexible, and nurturing care giver. Whether you need a one time “babysitter” or a commitment over an extended period of time, I feel confident that I can provide the stimulating and/or structured environment, balanced and tailored for your little people to thrive. Philosophically, I believe in and promote autonomy and democracy; encouraging choice, individuality, compromise, and teamwork. Ex: I do not believe in asking one to apologize, but rather explaining to them the relational benefits of such actions, and providing them the opportunity. Currently, I spend a lot of time in the mountains, tackling personal objectives; so though my location may be elsewhere, I may be looking to work in an area close to your childcare needs.

I’m a stay at home mom of a toddler looking for extra money. We do homeschool, go to the zoo, OMSI, play places and park on a weekly basis. Would love for a kid or two to join us for some fun and learning.

Hi! I’m a full time student at SOU looking for a part time position as a babysitter/pet sitter! I have worked with children of all ages for the last three years and worked with families of all types! I’m open to completing other tasks if requested. I’d consider myself to be kind, patient and passionate especially when it comes to the little ones! I strive to bring a fun, positive and safe environment for the kids.

I have a lot of experience with children, I have three brothers and the youngest is 13 years younger than me. I was a nanny for two years, worked in childcare for 15 months. And grew up babysitting my youngest get friends. I also have tons of good references if needed, and am finishing school for ECE and Elementary Education. CBR is in progress for renewal.

I am a semi-retired mom (as in I have twin daughters who are graduated from college, working and full fledged adults!) and no grandbabies yet so I like to babysit! Kids are amazing, fun, funny, stress free, and totally live "in the moment" which is something as adults with busy lives we often forget about. I like to think that I can be kind of a borrow-a-grandma type of deal! I can watch the kids, I can feed the kids, I can play with the kids, I can read with the kids (one of my faves!), AND best of all, I can give mom & dad a much needed break! My first job successfully raising twin girls , one of whom has asbergers, to graduate with honors from college should be a pretty good reference. My second reference would be my most recent and ongoing job as a nanny/caregiver/mothers helper to a local family Dad works as an Engineer for Nike and they hail from India. They contacted me on NextDoor and asked me if I was available and it was a match made in Heaven. I came every day for the first year after school 3 hours per day and I really can't say enough about how much I have enjoyed my time with their two boys who have become like family to me. I don't know if it's their culture, their customs or they're just incredibly kind people, but they have valued my work/help so much that they brought me along on a family vacation over the holidays. This year, they have put their youngest in a preschool program and I still help out, its mainly sometimes on weekends/date nites/run to tennis class, etc. Family type errands! So, on that note yes, I am a borrow/ rent-a-grandma! But, Ideally, I'm not just doing this for extra money, as valuable as that is, I am doing it because of the satisfaction of working for my adopted family, knowing that you are a valued member of a family and really helping out. It's just a really good feeling when people look forward to seeing you!!! And you just made their life a little easier!! I'm looking for something special and a special family to help out.

Hello families! My names Elisabeth. I am a mom to a 10 month old and currently a stay at home mom. Before having my son I was a career nanny of 7 years. I provided full time care for a handful of families as well as part time care. I have the biggest heart for children and truly adore working within childcare! I consider myself to be very proactive, caring and attentive. I have experience providing house work such as deep cleaning like vacuuming, mopping and general tidying up. I also consider myself to be very communicative, dedicated, and kind. I plan to open a faith based preschool in the future, with that being said I deeply value the work that comes with being a nanny. I am looking forward to stepping back into a nanny role, as my schedule is incredibly flexible. I also have my own insured car if they need to be transported from school/ activities. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for taking the time to read this!
