Find experienced nannies in Sandy, OR

Hi! I’m a full time student at SOU looking for a part time position as a babysitter/pet sitter! I have worked with children of all ages for the last three years and worked with families of all types! I’m open to completing other tasks if requested. I’d consider myself to be kind, patient and passionate especially when it comes to the little ones! I strive to bring a fun, positive and safe environment for the kids.

17 years of safe, engaging, skill building fun facilitation; supplemented with homework help, tutoring, and academic support... While attending university, I began facilitating recreation therapy respite for families adjusted by developmental differences. I also continued with the YMCA, YWCA and local youth bureau; all while also living and serving with the local volunteer fire department. Upon graduation I accepted a couple roles as Program Director, but soon realized that front line work was my truest passion. Since my work as a Family Advocate, Wilderness Therapy Guide, Kids Ski Instructor, "Manny" (Nanny), Firefighter, Alpine Manager, Mountain Bike Coach, Lifeguard, and Summer Camp Director for multiple camps, I have gained and honed a diverse skill set. My experience provides families with a compassionate, professional, fun loving, supportive, flexible, and nurturing care giver. Whether you need a one time “babysitter” or a commitment over an extended period of time, I feel confident that I can provide the stimulating and/or structured environment, balanced and tailored for your little people to thrive. Philosophically, I believe in and promote autonomy and democracy; encouraging choice, individuality, compromise, and teamwork. Ex: I do not believe in asking one to apologize, but rather explaining to them the relational benefits of such actions, and providing them the opportunity. Currently, I spend a lot of time in the mountains, tackling personal objectives; so though my location may be elsewhere, I may be looking to work in an area close to your childcare needs.

I have my degree in early childhood education, I have been a teacher for 2 years. I had to quit because of COVID which was a devastating decision. I have watched the kids for my friends and family since I was in high school. I have a passion for children, it is so important for young children to have a good and loving environment as they are growing. So I pride myself in doing absolutely everything in my power to provide that.

Hi! I’m Zoë, an experienced educator and youth mentor with a background in outdoor education, environmental science, and community programming. I love working with kids and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, curious, and free to be themselves. I’ve worked with children and teens in a variety of settings, from outdoor education and summer programs to classroom environments and youth leadership programs. Most recently, I facilitated a summer program for 60 high school students and co-mentored a group of 15 students, and I’ve also led outdoor leadership programs for middle school students. My experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, adaptable, and confident when working with different personalities and needs. I’m especially comfortable planning activities that get kids engaged and away from screens—whether that’s exploring outside, doing crafts, playing games, reading, cooking, or working on a fun project together. I have a background in environmental education, so I’m always happy to turn a walk or trip to the park into an opportunity to explore and learn. I’m responsible, communicative, and attentive to safety, while also wanting kids to have a genuinely fun time. I understand that every family has different routines and expectations, and I’m happy to follow your preferences around meals, bedtime, activities, screen time, and household routines. I’d love to get to know your family and see if I might be a good fit!

I am a semi-retired mom (as in I have twin daughters who are graduated from college, working and full fledged adults!) and no grandbabies yet so I like to babysit! Kids are amazing, fun, funny, stress free, and totally live "in the moment" which is something as adults with busy lives we often forget about. I like to think that I can be kind of a borrow-a-grandma type of deal! I can watch the kids, I can feed the kids, I can play with the kids, I can read with the kids (one of my faves!), AND best of all, I can give mom & dad a much needed break! My first job successfully raising twin girls , one of whom has asbergers, to graduate with honors from college should be a pretty good reference. My second reference would be my most recent and ongoing job as a nanny/caregiver/mothers helper to a local family Dad works as an Engineer for Nike and they hail from India. They contacted me on NextDoor and asked me if I was available and it was a match made in Heaven. I came every day for the first year after school 3 hours per day and I really can't say enough about how much I have enjoyed my time with their two boys who have become like family to me. I don't know if it's their culture, their customs or they're just incredibly kind people, but they have valued my work/help so much that they brought me along on a family vacation over the holidays. This year, they have put their youngest in a preschool program and I still help out, its mainly sometimes on weekends/date nites/run to tennis class, etc. Family type errands! So, on that note yes, I am a borrow/ rent-a-grandma! But, Ideally, I'm not just doing this for extra money, as valuable as that is, I am doing it because of the satisfaction of working for my adopted family, knowing that you are a valued member of a family and really helping out. It's just a really good feeling when people look forward to seeing you!!! And you just made their life a little easier!! I'm looking for something special and a special family to help out.

One of the things I love most about working with children is watching their confidence grow. I especially love those moments when a child is struggling with something, we work on it together, and suddenly they realize, "I can do it!" Seeing their eyes light up and watching them become proud of themselves is incredibly rewarding to me. I believe that even a small accomplishment can be a big victory for a child. I love celebrating those little victories with them and helping them discover how capable they truly are. I am a caring, dependable, and experienced childcare professional with over 20 years of experience working with children of different ages and needs. My background includes private-family childcare, Sunday school, volunteer programs, sports camps, and individual activities and training. I also have experience supporting children with special needs, including children with autism and children who have experienced trauma. I understand that every child is different, and I am very good at finding an individual approach that helps a child feel safe, understood, respected, and supported. I have completed training related to different ages and developmental stages. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities, learning through play, outdoor activities, sports, creative projects, and helping children develop independence and confidence. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian and am currently available for work. I am patient, responsible, organized, and dependable. I am also comfortable helping busy families with children’s schedules, transportation,/Have Lyft driver certificate,/activities, appointments, meal preparation, and everyday routines. I am looking for a family where I can build a trusting, long-term relationship and provide not only reliable childcare, but genuine support for the children and their family.
