Find experienced child care providers in Ashland, OR

Hi Families :) I am looking for wonderful new families that are in need of some part-time or occasional help. I have been caring for children professionally for over 15 years and have studied child development and child psychology extensively-both academically and independently. I have a graduate degree in child and family psychology, as well as BA in psychology with a minor in child development. I have experience working as a full charge nanny, babysitter, daycare worker, school counselor and as a family and child therapist. I am creative, playful, and imaginative. I believe in the principles of nonviolent parenting and attachment parenting. I enjoy engaging in creative and imaginative play, getting little ones outside and moving, and balancing outdoor activity with home activities such as baking, reading, and arts & crafts. I like to encourage curiosity and aim to foster children's natural inclinations. I believe children are whole people from the start, and deserving of respect. I also realize that I have as much to learn from them as they do from me- and that I am a role model for the children I care for. I am extremely responsible, kind, warm, loving, nurturing and grounded. I feel strongly about the importance of a healthy and happy childhood and that all children deserve loving, stable, and caring adults in their lives. I adore children and am experienced with all ages, but especially love caring for infants and toddlers. I currently work remotely part-time as a therapist, but miss time spent caring for children and I am looking for families that can use a little extra help during the week or are in need of a back-up sitter or on-call sitter for date-nights/weekend care etc. I value honest communication, and get along best with families that welcome me as another member of the family- being a nanny is such a personal job, and I feel there has to be trust and commonality in order for it to be the right fit. I also specialize in household help- I can help with light cleaning, laundry, errands, groceries, cooking healthy meals (familiar with allergy friendly and healthy cooking), pet care (I will happily bring the family dog along on any outings when possible), and anything else needed to help the household run along smoothly.

Hi! My name is Tais and I am looking for a part-time job as a babysitter/nanny/pet-sitter. I recently graduated from Southern Oregon University with a BS in Health and Exercise Science. I was employed working with several families for 4+ years while at college and have worked with children of all ages. I also have experience babysitting for many different families for 5+ years. I am very pet friendly to many animals and have enjoyed my time in childcare. I would describe myself as bubbly, dependable, inclusive, and energetic. I’m looking to make your life easier!

Hello! I’m Alex. I'm a recent college and graduate school graduate with nearly a decade of experience mentoring kids and teens through volunteer programs. I competed in Division I athletics in college, and after graduating I became a nationally registered EMT and worked in the Emergency Department at Asante. I also volunteer as a high school track & cross country coach, which has given me tons of hands-on experience supporting young people of all ages. I love working with kids because I know how important positive role models are in shaping confidence, curiosity, and emotional development. I’m patient, calm, and great at explaining things in a way that "clicks," so I can help with homework, school projects, or tough concepts. When it’s time for fun, I’m great at creating games and activities both indoors and outdoors, and yes, I’m also familiar with plenty of video games, so I can be the perfect Player 2 while still keeping things responsible and balanced. With my EMT background, CPR/BLS certification, coaching experience, and strong communication skills, I bring both safety and enthusiasm to every babysitting job. I’d love to support your family however I can. Please reach out with any questions!

Hey!! I have always loved taking care of babies and children, especially my niece and nephew. I would say my most important experience is I nannied the same kid from birth to 3 years old and occasionally would babysit him and his little sister when he was 4 and his little sister being 1. I have also babysat on and off the same kid from 6 months- 8 years old. I have a BLS certification and a car. I would be happy to also help clean around the house while possible!

I believe it does truly take a village to raise kids, and I would love to be a part of that! I have worked with kids my entire, beginning as a child when I took over a strong caregiver role with my younger siblings. As a pre-teen, I nannied and babysat during my summer breaks, and as soon as I turned 15 I began my professional career as a childcare provider! One thing you should know about me is I really enjoy getting to know the families I work with. I think it is important to build connections with parents, as I spend a good amount of time with your kids! I want us to all be on the same page and be able to communicate so that we can all help promote your child's development
