Cielle H., Child Care in Independence, OR 97351 with 13 years of paid experience

I started babysitting when I was 12 as my first job and I just fell in love with it and have been doing it ever since! Working with kids has it’s challenges but I find the pros always outweigh the cons. I am fun, active and patient person who loves to go with the flow. My hobbies include hiking, scrapbooking and exploring new places. I’m always down for an adventure! I have found that my personality and my passion for teaching children has helped me become a really great nanny. While I still am a nanny part time, I am looking to add some extra hours to my schedule if the right family thinks I might be a good fit.

On the side I'm a licensed real estate agent. I have 3 cats and a dog. I love crafting and playing video games with my friends. I have a fairly free schedule and im willing to do days off pattern with ample warning. I drive my own car (clean record!) and I am comfortable being out later at night. I hope I can help some families out!

Brikel W., Child Care in Independence, OR 97351 with 7 years of paid experience

I absolutely love children! I grew up helping care for younger siblings and went on to study human development in college. I graduated with an emphasis in family studies and learned a lot about child development. I worked as a preschool teacher in Southern Utah before spending two years abroad as an English teacher to children ages 2-12. I have volunteered with children in a Chinese orphanage and worked with children in a number of different capacities. I recently went back to school and I am currently a full time student. I love arts and crafts, dancing, animals, and anything outdoors. I adore spending my days with little ones and helping them explore the world.
