Find experienced babysitters in Sherwood, OR

I have been a nanny/babysitter for as long as I can remember! I absolutely love kids and teaching them fun new things and sports! Other then nannying I have coached volleyball for the past 8 years anywhere from 6th grade to High School Varsity. I have my bachelors degree in Psychology with a specialization in child development and after that plans of getting a Master in mental health counseling for school aged kids! I have extensive infant/toddler/kid experience as it has been my job for the past few years! I have done things from “shorter" jobs such as date nights and giving rides to places, all the way up to overnights where I spent the entire week with three boys while their parents were out of the country. My past experiences make me very versatile so I am open to anything that you might need help with from young kiddos needing bottle feeding, sleep training, food transitioning, potty training, etc. And for older kids I’m happy to give homework help, create and implement structured days, prepare meals, and clean up. A couple random things I honestly love are running errands/grocery shopping and doing laundry. I understand life is unpredictable so I’m happy to provide sick care! The most kids I've watched at once not including playdates was 4 at a time and it was a blast. I would say that I am a very flexible and understanding person and am always happy to to grow and change with your family’s needs. I think it's very important to build a good relationship with the kid(s) and parent(s) so it's a nice experience for everyone. I love getting outside and playing and even going on day trips to explore! I am fully vaccinated and have my own car (with 7 seats) including two toddler car seats and a clean driving record! I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos!

Hello! I’m 26 years old, I'm very professional and will provide exceptional care for your children. I have many years of extensive experience looking after children of all ages. I will ensure your child is in safe hands. I really enjoy bringing out the best in kids with activities. I’m dependable and honest and I have a 1 year old daughter of my own.

I have been babysitting on and off throughout my entire life. I watched, played with and drove my own sister in my teens (we're 7 years apart) and now as an adult have watched her children (my nephews) from infanthood to preteen years. I also babysat for friends and acquaintances in my late teens and early 20s. I love playing make believe games with kids and reading stories together. (I'm a budding children's author.) Their sense of wonder and joy are so fun to be a part of. Being a caring constant in a child's life is so important for their short and long-term development. Every baby and child deserves to feel safe and loved by the responsible adults around them and I want to be a part of that support system. I went to Medical Assisting school in 2011 and learned a little about early childhood development and psychology. As a phlebotomist for 10 years, I was proficient in: allaying fears, making people feel seen and heard, being punctual and reliable, communicating to the patient's care team when any concerns came up, being empathetic in care, first aid and CPR, advocating for my patients, and teaching mindful breathing exercises to anxious people of all ages. I believe all of these things can apply to caring for infants and children, especially in assisting your children in feeling seen, valued, and understood. I try to establish reasonable and age-appropriate boundaries with kindness and respect. I would love to help you run a successful and happy household by supporting you in child care.
