My name is Ella DeFrance, and I am 23 years old and just moved to Eugene from Montana. I have a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in English and a Dance Certificate from the University of Montana in Missoula. I have been babysitting since I was a teenager, so I have years of experience with multiple ages. For the past 3 years I have been babysitting for the same family of 2 girls. My responsibilities include picking them up from school, making dinner and snacks, and getting them ready for bed. However, because I am moving to Eugene I am looking for a new family to babysit. I have also been a volunteer for the past 2 years through Big Brother Big Sister, and have made a strong relationship with my little who is a 3rd grader. I also have experience working as a substitute in the school districts, and have substituted for the Special Ed classrooms. I love to dance, read, play guitar, paint and hike! I also love animals, and speak spanish.

Hi, my name is Abby and I’m a mother of 3 girls ages 17, 14, and 9! I started babysitting when I was 13, then worked at the YMCA in the childcare department at the age of 16 throughout high school. When I graduated, I attended college in Hawaii and worked for a nanny service babysitting for tourist visiting and some local families, so I have had plenty experience and I love working with kids of all ages! I have a passion for arts and crafts and being creative. I love going for walks and playing at the park. I work in the dentistry field and for the 4J school district, but have a plenty of availability. Please reach out with any questions! :)

Hi! My name is Gloria Esparza and I absolutely love working with children of all ages. With years of experience in childcare, I’ve had the privilege of caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, as well as children with special needs. I’m bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish fluently, and I also know a little American Sign Language (ASL), which helps me connect with even more amazing kids. I’m CPR-certified and always prioritize safety and fun in every activity we do together. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in psychology, with the goal of becoming a children’s therapist. This passion for supporting children’s emotional well-being inspires me to create a nurturing and positive environment in every babysitting experience. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced babysitter, I’d love the opportunity to support your family. Let’s connect!

I'm just finishing up my first year of college and looking for a job over the summer. I grew up in a big family and helped take care of children since I was young. Through middle school and highschool family friends paid me to watch their children. I enjoy taking care of kids and getting to embrace my inner child while caring for them. I can also help with homework, coming for them and meal prepping for dinner, taking care of a pet, and cleaning the house as needed as well. Feel free to call me!

Hi there!! Working with kids is my passion! Right now I am currently going to school to hopefully become a child psychologist. I have worked with 100’s of children and I still can’t pick a favorite age. I love the silliness of exploring a new world with a preschooler, but I also love the bonds you build once they get older! I come from a classroom setting so I’m used to caring for multiple kiddos at once, but I’m really looking forward for the chance to connect more one on one! I got my start in child care four years ago, working at the City of Eugene summer camps, going into my senior year of high school. I worked four summers (2022-2025) in the middle school outdoor exploration camp and filled in for the elementary camps when needed. I spent a few school years (2022-2024) working their elementary afterschool care program as well! I did lots of planning activities for all of these programs, and the final summer of the middle school camp I was the lead for; meaning I planned most of that camp. In 2023 I graduated high school and moved out. I continued working part time in the afterschool program, at the same time learning what it’s like to be an adult. At the end of 2024 I started a full time job at the Head Start of Lane County as a preschool teacher. I worked there till the end of the 25/26 school year. I was a teacher who carried a “caseload”, so I was assigned a few families in my classroom to help specifically assist with things like housing needs, getting extra food, transportation, ect. I love working with kids and families, and the only reason I left this job is because I know for sure now that I want to go to school to work with children. A full time job is not feasible while going to school, but I don’t want to stop working with kids! A family that can work around a college schedule would be perfect. I have a 16hr part time job right now, but my hours are very flexible. If it felt right I would consider not working that job to spend more time babysitting. Through these jobs I have obtained my CPR certification, first aide certification, food handlers card, and am approved by the CBR or central background registry; which you need this to work in any licensed child care facility in Oregon. Thank you for your consideration! ☀️

Need a date night, a self care day or need to run some errands alone? Hi! I’m Gideon (they/them)! I'm looking to make some extra cash during the evenings/ weekends while making meaningful connections. I'm currently a DSP, and I am going back to school to get my degree in education. The previous eight years I spent working in Montessori schools. More about my experience: I have experience with ages 6 months-13 years. Currently my favorite age group is lower el. I've professionally been working with kids since 2018, but growing up I was the family/neighborhood babysitter! I'm trained in CPR and first aid (including babies), a Montessori assistant, positive discipline, de-escalation, suicide prevention, and much more especially with on the job learning. I've worked in childcare, a classroom, as a full time nanny, a tutor and a lead summer camp director. About me personally: I love to read, create art, play board/card games, go bowling and spending time with my loved ones. I'm open minded, patient, and really enjoy working with kids. I think they're funny, complex human beings who I genuinely learn a lot from. Bonus points if you want me to take your kiddo(s) bowling, mini golfing, or to the public library!

My name is Emily Ann. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 little ones (boy 3, and girl 2), in my early 30s. Before I became a full-time momma, I was in full-time ministry working with children growing up in rough circumstances— I did a lot of social work, and babysitting or acted as a temporary guardian for children ages 3-18 years of age. Before I began that work in full-time ministry I was a full time nanny, and part-time babysitter from the ages of 12-23. Needless to say I love working with children, and enjoy the gift that children are to me and the grown ups around them. I am hoping to find a consistent part-time job or pick extra babysitting gigs here and there that may allow me to bring my kids too. My goal is to remain a full-time stay at home momma, but find opportunities to help bring in some extra income. My husband sometimes has Fridays off and weeks off too, so depending on the timing of the job, I may be able to come in my own. I’m willing to travel to your home, and have a mini-van to do transportation if need be. If you have any questions, please reach out. -Emily Ann

Hello! I recently graduated the UOTeach program with a Masters in Curriculum & Teaching. During the days, I substitute in elementary schools. I’ve worked summers at daycares before that had age ranges of 1-11 years old. I love working with children and helping their young minds grow.

Going for a night out? It’s date night? Need extra help? I’m here to help! Originally from Portland, OR, I am currently a first year Human Physiology student at the University Of Oregon, but have always had a passion for working with children. With over three years of CPR and First-Aid training as well as experience working with a diverse array of elementary school children, all coming to camp with different needs as an East Portland Community Center Camp Counselor, I love being able to be creative and see kids grow. I would also be able to help with housework, as well as homework. I am only available weekends, but if I sound like a match, feel free to contact me!

Hi, my name is Sara! I am 31 years old. I have been doing professional child care for 17 years. I had an in-home daycare for two years in Bend, Oregon when I was just 19! I absolutely love kids, all ages. I especially love the toddler stage. I have experience with babies as little as 5 days old, to kids in their preteens/teens. I always make sure to clean the house, especially the kitchen/dining and living room (if you'd like) when I have down time. I like to make sure the kids have fun while learning something new. About me: I have been a licensed Realtor in Oregon for 10 years. I love fishing, hiking, and anything on the water. I was born in Michigan, have lived in California, and moved to Oregon in 2007. I have two Border Collie Huskies ages 10 & 13 and I have had them their whole lives. I do not have kids of my own (yet) so I really enjoy my kiddo time when I can! I always make sure to be available for my families outside of my job because I truly love the lightness and brightness the kids bring to me.
