Hello! My names Teresa and I’m 24 years old, I have several years of experience being a babysitter for kids varying In age from 0-15 years old, I’m very good with kids and have my own vehicle to get to and from, drop off/pickup kids from school if needed, etc, I love animals so if you have any that wouldn’t be a problem! Willing to work part or full time as needed, as of right now I’m available 5am-2pm mon-Friday, if interested I’m available afternoons but during that time I’d have my own 2 year old boy with me, again this is only during 3pm and into the night I’d have my own child with me if you need help during those times as his father works, I’d also be willing to babysit in my own home if interested, I have lots of toys, learning posters, play kitchen etc for young children and toddlers, I can provide meals and education learning activities, this is for evening and nighttime sitting, ofc I can babysit in your home as well if comfortable with me bringing my 2 year old boy (3pm- nighttime)

Schooling for Pediatrics oncology and development 5 years left! I have an unreasonable about of extra crafts and will play hide and seek 45 times till we forget what game it might be and tap tag your it!! But here’s the thing I Have rules yeah I know Who am I to bring rules into your home but but here me out I’m just not comfortable with certain things. Everyone has different parenting styles and it’s for a good reason we need different kind of adults were blue printing these little hearts. 1. I will not spank tap or grab The only time I could possibly see a grab being acceptable is it an immediate safety situation. (walk into a street with a car, anything hot ect… you get the point) 2. Timeouts Basic time to reflect on the situation is greatly needed it was just a little bit of communication things can get resolved really quickly! Kids have voices and if something I am or they are doing is provoking emotion I want to here it and I don’t feel comfortable closing a physical door for growth. 3. T.V/movies Tons of shows and movies can teach us a lot but five hours of sitting. Then expecting them to go lay down for a nap or bed feels unfair and For us to to believe that scenario will work out in our favor is it set up for failure for the kiddos

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 on weekdays and flexible to work weekends/date nights. I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your children!

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.

Hi! My name is Caitlin and I am very interested in being your nanny! I have about 7 years of nanny experience, 3 boys ranging from 3 months to 8 years old, two sets of infant twins, and twins with an older sibling. I also come from a family of teachers and know the importance of fun filled learning activities at a young age. I am 29 years old am hoping to finish a Geography degree in the next few years. When I do return to school, I plan on taking night classes so I can be available full time during the day. I love cooking healthy meals and would much rather have a picnic outside than eat in front of a TV. I currently am working with a family of twin 2 year olds and a 4 year old, and they will soon no longer need childcare. My start date is flexible as well. I am looking forward to the opportunity to help your child grow and learn while having fun!

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.
