Find experienced child care providers in Estacada, OR

17 years of safe, engaging, skill building fun facilitation; supplemented with homework help, tutoring, and academic support... While attending university, I began facilitating recreation therapy respite for families adjusted by developmental differences. I also continued with the YMCA, YWCA and local youth bureau; all while also living and serving with the local volunteer fire department. Upon graduation I accepted a couple roles as Program Director, but soon realized that front line work was my truest passion. Since my work as a Family Advocate, Wilderness Therapy Guide, Kids Ski Instructor, "Manny" (Nanny), Firefighter, Alpine Manager, Mountain Bike Coach, Lifeguard, and Summer Camp Director for multiple camps, I have gained and honed a diverse skill set. My experience provides families with a compassionate, professional, fun loving, supportive, flexible, and nurturing care giver. Whether you need a one time “babysitter” or a commitment over an extended period of time, I feel confident that I can provide the stimulating and/or structured environment, balanced and tailored for your little people to thrive. Philosophically, I believe in and promote autonomy and democracy; encouraging choice, individuality, compromise, and teamwork. Ex: I do not believe in asking one to apologize, but rather explaining to them the relational benefits of such actions, and providing them the opportunity. Currently, I spend a lot of time in the mountains, tackling personal objectives; so though my location may be elsewhere, I may be looking to work in an area close to your childcare needs.

Hi! I’m a full time student at SOU looking for a part time position as a babysitter/pet sitter! I have worked with children of all ages for the last three years and worked with families of all types! I’m open to completing other tasks if requested. I’d consider myself to be kind, patient and passionate especially when it comes to the little ones! I strive to bring a fun, positive and safe environment for the kids.

I’m a stay at home mom of a toddler looking for extra money. We do homeschool, go to the zoo, OMSI, play places and park on a weekly basis. Would love for a kid or two to join us for some fun and learning.

Hey my name is Krista. I’ve been working with children professionally for the last 8/9 years but I’ve been working with children since I was 12. I mostly have worked with infants through 4 years and middle school age but I have also worked with grade school children. I have my bachelors degree in early childhood/elementary education and my masters in special education. I am currently a middle school special education teacher and am looking for an evening job with occasional availability on the weekends. Also, I grew up with dogs and love working with animals so I am more than okay if you have pets!

Hi my name is Melana! I recently have just graduated high school with my associates degree. I have been working with kids my whole life, but been working in the position of a nanny seriously for about 4 years. I’m an energetic sitter with a passion for kids and families! I have experience with kids from the ages of 1-10. My experience also includes meal prep, housekeeping, engaging activities, running errands, driving the kids around, and teaching children. I’m super dependable and reliable, I have a very flexible schedule and a reliable car. I very much value keeping a safe and nurturing environment, as well as being patient and developing real connection with kids. Genuinely I love being a sitter and cherish little ones so much! Please feel free to contact me for references or questions! Thank you!

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.

Hello! My name is Elizabeth. I am currently studying in my 3rd year at Oregon State majoring in Business Management. I have over 8 years of experience working with children. In my freshman year of high school, I began working at Pleasant Valley Springs Montessori School in Oregon City. I have worked there for a total of 6 years (only working summers since I've been in college). In my sophomore year, I was employed at The Boys and Girls Club of Corvallis as a program lead. I also have 2.5 years of experience working in the service industry as a hostess. I found that I enjoy working with children much more. I am willing to help with carpooling, travel, and homework. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your little one!

Hi parents! I am a 22 year old with the pronouns she/her. I’ve enjoyed being around children for the longest time and started working with them when I was 16.

I have a food handlers card, adult&pediatric cpr/first aid/AED certification, and an few other child development trainings.
