- I have always loved working with kids for their genuine curiosity and joy for life. I am very social and love interacting with all kinds of people, especially children. -I’ve worked with kids in several capacities over the years. I’ve babysat for families with children of different ages, from toddlers to middle schoolers, and I’ve coached youth Ultimate Frisbee for EVU, which has helped me build skills in group management, patience, and creative problem-solving. I now work for UCSB's adventure program and often facilitate rock climbing at fairs and birthdays for young ones. These experiences have taught me how to keep kids engaged, safe, and happy in a variety of environments. -I am trained in both Infant and adult CPR, I have my EpiPen administration certification, as well as my Wilderness First Aid certification.

Hello! My name is Nichole, I’m 32 and am in a Master's program at UO. I have experience with all ages: as a live-in helper for a new mom of twins, running the toddler and preschool rooms at an in-home daycare, volunteering at a summer camp for ages 3-15, and more! I am looking to pick up a few more weekend or evening babysitting gigs, to supplement what I already do. I love to read and play outside, and am a huge fan of board games as well! As a babysitter, I know I won’t be with your kids for very long, so I try to make every moment full of fun! I am punctual and responsible, and I can’t wait for the chance to meet some new families!

Looking to go into early childhood education, I have a strong empathy for children and have worked with children with a wide range of ages and emotional/cognitive needs. I think every child deserves to be truly understood and cared for

Hi Families! My name is Shelby, I am a 21 year old college student at the University of Oregon. I have been caring for children for six years, as an older sibling of three and a babysitter. I have spent my last two summers working at a family summer camp which has given me a chance to care for kids ages 3-12, preparing snacks, engaging in fun activities and helping them bring their creativities to life. I love working with kids and helping them learn and grow every day. When I am not in school I love to hike, read, and workout! I would love to meet and get to know you and your children.
