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.

I took several years of ASL and love teaching children how to use sign language. Whether you are looking for a dedicated full time nanny or maybe just an extra set of hands to help from time to time, I would love to hear from you.

She is the most amazing and caring nanny I have ever had. She cared for my children like they were her own and I trust her explicitly. She taught my daughter sign language, helped when she was potty training and has extensive experience and knowledge with child care. I would recommend her to anyone!

Hailey P., Child Care in Independence, OR 97351 with 3 years of paid experience

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!

My girls have had nothing but fun with Hailey! To put it simply - when I come home from work and get the down-low on the days activities: boo boos have been attended to, kids are fed dressed and clean, and to top it off they did a new activity that day which was stimulating and fun. Haily helps to make sure things are running smoothly in the household and she doesn't add to the chaos.

Emily  P., Child Care in Independence, OR 97351 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Emily! I'm currently in nursing school with a focus on pediatrics, with aspirations to become a travel nurse! I thrive in outdoor settings, especially during the summer! I have a lot of random hobbies and always love to be doing something! My background primarily includes working with elementary, preschool and infant age groups! I’ve been a preschool teacher for a few years and a personal nanny to a variety of age groups/backgrounds for many years! I am the oldest sibling/niece/grandchild and have a big family with over 30+ cousins. So being the oldest I naturally grew up playing and caring for younger children and that grew my love for tiny humans! I have my BLS/CPR and have experience with special needs! Please let me know if you’d like a copy of my resume in learning more about my experience for your consideration!
