Find experienced child care providers in Scappoose, OR

Hi there! I am Abby (she/her). I graduated from the University of Washington in June 2024. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education, Communities, and Organizations with Disability Studies and American Indian Studies minors. I have been caring for children for 6 years as a babysitter and as the oldest sibling, as well as supervising children in summer camp and school settings. My babysitting experience ranges in ages from infant to twelve. I recently cared for a one year old for six months, starting when she was only six months herself - this included diaper changes, feedings, putting her down for naps, and taking her on adventures to Kids Club, swimming, and free events at the local library. I have also babysat toddlers and assisted them with potty training. I also babysit families with siblings ranging in ages of 2-4 and 6-10. I truly love working with kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. With each family I understand cleaning is not expected but light housework such as dishes, vacuuming, and tidying up the toy room is no problem for me! I have experience babysitting children with ASD and ADHD. I have found success in building relationships with these children through discussing triggers, what the child enjoys, and boundaries with parents before we start working together. I am also passionate about working with children with disabilities in the school setting. I am currently a substitute, often filling in as a paraprofessional. From September 2023 to May 2024 I held an internship as a substitute paraprofessional in the Seattle Public School system, regularly working at Concord International Elementary School. Nothing makes me happier than reading, doing crafts, playing games/puzzles and being outside! My number one focus is keeping the children happy but most importantly safe. I have my CPR certification and can run a background check upon request. I'm available ONLY on weekends, hopefully for the occasional date night. I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your children!

Hi, I'm Emmy . I have worked with children in centers, in homes, as a baby sitter , as a nanny , as a mother's helper, as a preschool teacher, as a child development/ parenting/ behavior guidance educator and home visitor. I have worked with children from birth through late teens. I have spent more than 29 years working with children. I love all ages (as one very positive mama said - " every age is the best age!" There are things about each age and stage if development I enjoy and I truly love seeing kids grow and learn and develop. I have experience working with children who have medical or developmental special needs as well. I love dogs and cats as well. I would love to support your family in keeping your kids safe and helping them explore the world.

I am a mother and grandmother. My professional experience includes providing doula care for over 12 years. I received my certification as an early childhood education specialist in the States of Iowa and Kansas. I was also a licensed home daycare provider in Kansas. I would like to find a family with a young child/ren in need of a loving, nurturing nanny. I enjoy creating supportive learning environments for children wherever we may be, whether that is in a chair with a book, on the floor with toys, in the kitchen, garden, at the library or parks. I am a low screen-time provider, but value their limited use. I am fine with meal preparation and light house keeping which come with child care. In my role as nanny, I give support and relief to parents by providing exceptional care for your child/ren so you can focus on work. As a result, your time as a family will be more calm and enjoyable.

In 10 years as a nanny in Portland, I have worked with some wonderful families. I thrive in an environment where I have the empowerment and freedom to keep to a schedule while leaving things flexible to accommodate changes. I value safety, kindness and fun. Time outdoors or at cultural events are always time well spent and time at home should be filled with joy and snacks! I have a BS from Smith College in Psychology and a minor in Developmental Education. My experience includes foster parenting, substitute teaching K-12; student teaching, teaching crafts to kids through Catholic Charities, as well as teaching adults. You will find me to be mature, open to suggestion, punctual, transparent, with good boundaries, and open communication. I am also silly, crafty, patient, open, kind, and fun - so I’m told by adults and kids alike.

Hello, I'm Ja’Ann 20 years old I'm going to school to become a LPN. I have 2 years of paid babysitting experience, and I recently just got a substitute job!

Hello! I absolutely love children of all ages. In high school and college, I baby sat children from a few weeks old to 12 years. I have worked with a lot of multiple-children families and am comfortable with multi-tasking.     I love active play as well as doing art projects and baking with the children that I am caring for. I don’t believe that you are paying me to watch your children watch television, so I try to make sure we are always doing some sort of activity. I have tutored children in many subjects and if your kids are school-aged, their homework is a priority of mine.   I speak Spanish at a conversational level and am always up for teaching kids some basic Spanish while I am with them. I also can sign ASL.   If you need help with any housework (such as laundry or prep-cooking, etc.), I would love to assist with that while the children are sleeping or engaged in another project.    I look forward to meeting your family!

Hello families! My name is Ziggy (they/them), I am a CPR certified nanny and former preschool teacher. I bring bonus experience as a trained baker. I love crafts and enjoy the outdoors, and have a firm that there is no bad weather, only poor clothing choices! In my time at the Reggio preschool, I was trained in the pedagogy of conscious discipline. I'm patient, compassionate, yet possess firm boundaries and teach through example: I speak to children with honest, clear language and show them the respect that all deserve. I posses some basic conversational French skill, and a few semesters of Spanish under my belt. I have experience with ages ranging from 1mo to 15yrs, and have worked with neurodivergent children and adults with various levels of support needs. I hope to bring my passion for creativity, kindness, and nature exploration into your home. I'm excited to meet you and your little ones! Note* I'm happy to send a resumé, cover letter, and references, just ask!

I’m a very energetic person and would ensure your children are entertained and having fun while providing a safe and nurturing environment. I have my basic life support certification which includes CPR and basic first aid so your children will be in safe hands. I also wouldn’t not mind getting done any extra chores around your home and making simple meals. Anything I can do to help support you and your family!
