Sittercity helps Lafayette families find the best nannies

Hey! I’ve spent over 13 years caring for kids and absolutely love it. I’ve helped raise children of people who started as strangers & are now close family friends—many since birth—and have stayed closely connected with those families as the kids have grown. That personal, long-term involvement has been incredibly meaningful to me and is the same relationship I would wish for my own kiddos when introducing a new face into my home. While I’m no longer actively coaching, I spent over 10 years coaching and that experience really helped me build a strong connection and understanding of how to communicate, encourage, and support kids of all ages. I have a strong medical background (CPR, First Aid, BLS, EMT-P) and currently work part-time at OHSU (Portland) with the OHSU DPS Emergency Communications Center. I bring a calm, capable presence to every family I support. At this juncture in life, I’m prioritizing flexibility and doing something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with kids and supporting families. It helps ease the financial load from falling solely on my husband, but more importantly, allows me to be more present at home with our teenager and do something that comes naturally to me. That’s what brings me back here—and I’d love to connect with families looking for someone experienced, warm, and dependable!

As the older cousin in a large, loving family, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to care for my younger cousins while my aunts and uncles enjoyed quality time together. Over the years, I’ve babysat for family, friends, neighbors, as well as at the childcare service at my church. From infants to teenagers, I have experience caring for children of all ages. Raised abroad, I’m comfortable in diverse environments and truly enjoy learning new customs and cultures. I’m fluent in Spanish and conversational in French, which helps me connect easily with children from many backgrounds. More than anything, I love building trust and joy with kids through play. Whether we’re outside exploring nature, making crafts, or doing hands-on activities that spark curiosity and joy. My goal is always to create a calm, enriching space where children feel safe, inspired, and truly seen. If I do turn on screen I always ensure it is parents approved. But my go to is Bluey. I believe that safety and is essential. To ensure that I am CPR and First Aid certified for both adults and children, and I hold a food handler’s card to ensure meals and snacks are prepared safely. I would love the chance to support your family I would be happy to connect to see if I’m the right fit for you and your little ones. Please feel free to reach out!

I have been the nanny to a 4 year old little girl for 3.5 years and she has recently entered preschool, therefore reducing my hours. I'm hoping to supplement my current remaining hours, or possibly find a family looking for a nanny for 20ish hours a week. My background prior to nannying was as a preschool teacher for a private, Christian Learning Center. Prior to that, I worked in the infant room at another certified center. Have had many years of babysitting/private childcare. I am married and have 2 adult children.

I am a 19-year-old college student with extensive experience caring for children of all ages. Growing up in a large family with nearly 30 grandchildren on my grandparents’ side, I’ve been surrounded by kids my entire life. This environment gave me the opportunity to interact with a variety of age groups and develop the skills to care for children of all kinds. Since 2013, I’ve been babysitting for my parents, aunts, and uncles, often playing a significant role in helping raise their kids. My lifelong exposure to younger children has fostered a deep passion for nurturing and caring for them. Babysitting has not only helped me build strong bonds with children but has also taught me the patience, empathy, and creativity needed to engage with them. Kids naturally gravitate toward me, and I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them.

I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages — from infants to pre-teens — in both casual babysitting and more structured settings. I’ve worked with families with multiple children, and I’m comfortable with routines like mealtime, bedtime, and school pick-ups. I’m trained in CPR and First Aid, and I bring strong communication skills, patience, and a calm presence to every job.

I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love the chance to connect and learn more about your family’s needs!
