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.

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’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.

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 truly love working with kids, and childcare has been a big part of my life for years. I have over a year of paid babysitting experience, and I’ve also helped raise and care for my four younger sisters which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to stay calm and caring in every situation. Because of that, working with children feels very natural to me. I’ve babysat children of different ages, from toddlers to school aged kids, and I’m confident with routines like meals, naps, bedtime, playtime, and light cleaning. I enjoy keeping kids busy with fun activities, helping with homework, and making sure they always feel safe, listened to,and comfortable.Parents describe me as very reliable, gentle, and easy to communicate with. I always keep a close eye on safety and follow any household rules or routines you prefer. I would love the chance to support your family and provide great 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!

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.
