Find experienced babysitters in Welches, OR

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.

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'm passionate about working with children and making a positive impact. I have years of experience, including two years of paid work. I'm comfortable caring for up to three kids, enforcing rules, and updating parents. I enjoy board games, educational activities, and outdoor play. I can help with meals, light housekeeping, and pet care. I'm eager to partner with your family to provide nurturing care. I'm funny, patient, and friendly. I want a job that teaches and helps me grow. Working with kids always brings new learning experiences. I started working with kids by watching my younger brother and helping in a preschool. For the past two summers, I've worked as a teacher for a school program, leading lessons and ensuring the children's safety. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and baking. I'm creative, a good listener, and empathetic. I can make connections with individuals and assist children based on their comfort levels.

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!
