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.

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!
