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 I 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.

Hello families! My name is Alessandra and I have been caring for children since I was little. A little about my nannying background: I helped raise my little cousins, worked as a live-in nanny for 3 years in the US and Italy, and worked in a pre-school. I love children! A little bit about myself: What makes me the perfect candidate for families? I am a responsible, mature, and professional 25 years old. I have my own car with a clean record. I volunteer in my community for the child advocacy setting as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children in foster care. I speak 4 languages: English, Italian, Spanish and German, I would love to teach your child\children! I have multiple references from previous families that I have worked for. I have experience with children ranging 6 months- 10 years old. I am comfortable watching up to 3 kids at a time. I can help with tasks such as morning routines, preparation of meals, school drop off and pick up, sports and other activities drop off and pick up, arts and crafts according to age, outdoor games, following nap routine, feeding routines, changing of diapers, and other light housework such as starting the kids' laundry or washing the dishes.

Hi there! I'm a 19 year old who's looking for a part-time baby/petsitting job. I have some experience watching and meal prepping for younger kids with food allergies, (roughly a year). I'm willing to be flexible with pay on account of my experience amount with younger kids. I love hanging out with kids and I feel I can be a good friend as well as a caretaker. 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!

Hi! My name is Alina. I’ve always loved being around kids — their energy, imagination, and little personalities bring me so much joy.

I’ve always loved working with children which is why I chose to pursue a teaching career and have been a preschool teacher for 8 years now and currently learning to be a midwife’s assistant. I love being creative and be inspired by a child’s limitless imagination. I’ve worked in an outdoor play based program and love being outdoors and just having fun! I take pride in being able to hold space for children to be their true authentic selves.
