Find experienced babysitters in Sandy, OR

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.

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.

My name is Mackenzie, and I’ve been passionate about working with children for as long as I can remember. Growing up caring for my four younger siblings sparked a love for childcare early on. From babysitting for family members and my mom’s coworkers to pursuing teaching throughout high school, I knew this was the path for me. I’m so grateful that my high school offered a child development course and a cadet teaching program — I even spent five months assisting in a second-grade classroom, which solidified my passion for working with kids. After graduating, I worked as a daycare teacher in Damascus and eventually became the lead in a program that served children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. During my two years there, I had the opportunity to work with every age group, starting in the infant room and gaining experience across all developmental stages. I’ve also nannied for several families, providing personalized, attentive care in home settings. Currently, I work as an Assistant Club Director at a Boys & Girls Club, where I support older youth. While I love what I do, I miss working with younger children, which is why I’m now looking to pick up occasional late-night or weekend babysitting jobs. I’d be so happy to help out and be someone you can count on to care for your little ones!

I have had many opportunities to work with and teach children throughout my life. I am currently working in elementary special education, starting my 10th year this year! Along with my experience working in education, I have worked as a tutor, full-time nanny, part-time nanny, before and after school babysitter, and as an au pair in Spain! (I’m not fluent, but I do speak some Spanish!) I have participated in many trainings through my school district for special needs care (including occupational and physical therapy trainings, autism-specific care, and alternative & augmentative communication) as well as social/emotional learning, equity, and culturally responsive teaching. I have also completed training and have certificates in the following: Celebrating Milestones and Sharing Concerns (CDC); Safe Sleep Ambassador, Child Welfare, Home Visitors (Cribs for Kids); Water Safety for Parents and Caregivers (Red Cross); Carseat Basics, Children in Hot Cars (National Safety Council) My top priority is to foster a positive, creative, and open environment where kids feel heard, cared for, and ready to have fun! I’ve been working with kids my whole adult life and I’m always learning and growing with them. I can’t wait to bring some fun ideas to your kids and learn all about their favorite things!

I am a very energetic sitter who loves caring for kids! I have 4 years of babysitting experience and I am CPR and first aid certified. I love to engage with the kids playing games, going outside, reading books, and helping with homework. Feel free to contact me for questions or references!

May name is Julia and I have several years experience babysitting. My heart for children started when I was very young. My mom is an early childhood education teacher. She has taught me many things about taking care of children. Growing up I looked after my younger siblings while my mom was a single parent raising 5 kids. Since then my experience includes being camp counselor, substitute teacher, preschool teacher/teachers aid. To me, babysitting is more than supervising. It’s important to give the child(ren) my full attention in order to comfort them and gain trust. Kids like me because I am funny, kind & loving. I have a lot of patience and I am very respectful. I will always prioritize children’s needs such as meal times, nap times, and playtime, etc. Consider me to be your child’s babysitter because I take this job very seriously and I am a hard worker.

Hi parents! I am a 22 year old with the pronouns she/her. I’ve enjoyed being around children for the longest time and started working with them when I was 16. I also babysat when I was younger than that for family and neighbors. I have professional experience with toddler ages up to elementary/pre-teens. I’m open to gaining more experience with any ages. I’m very passionate about nurturing and teaching kids to their highest potential (even just in a babysitting setting) and just giving them a comfortable space to be creative and have fun! I have a food handlers card, adult&pediatric cpr/first aid/AED certification, and an few other child development trainings.
