Find experienced nannies in Sandy, OR

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.

Hello! I am a highly experienced childcare provider looking for occasional babysitting jobs in the SE Portland area. I am available for evening and weekend babysitting. I have over 25 years of experience caring for my own children, step children, and have worked with children professionally (nannying, babysitting, and group childcare) throughout that time. I have worked with all ages, newborn to 12+. I have experience with children with special needs and learning challenges. I am a certified mediator and am accomplished in both Compassionate Communication and Redirecting Children's Behavior. I am Waldorf Education trained. Since moving to Portland, I have been occasionally filling in for my daughter, who is a full-time, professional nanny, with local families who can provide references after we speak/meet and choose to move forward. I am extremely pet friendly, comfortable with cloth diapers, happy to prepare vegan, vegetarian, gluten free or paleo meals and snacks, and help with homework and chores. I am a life-long non-smoker and have a clean driving record. My current CPR certification has expired but I am scheduled to recertify shortly. I am 55, but young at heart. I love reading, crafts, and activities. I aim to provide, as close as possible, the care you provide your children in the same way you do. My rates range from 15-20/hour. In my free time I love hiking with my son and gardening. I am an avid reader and lover of the arts; dance, music and theatre. Powell's is my favorite place in Portland. Being a good fit to your family culture is very important to me, so I want to be sure we both get as much information as needed. If I sound like I might be a good fit for your family don't hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to chat over the phone and answer any of your questions or set up a complimentary 1/2 hour meet and greet for us to determine the fit. I appreciate you taking time to read my profile. I wish you the best in your childcare search.

Hello! I’m Kada and I’ve had 6 years of experience with babies and children! I’ve babysat many children and infants over the years and I actually have a 18 month old daughter who just got into headstart so i’m looking for something to do to fill my schedule! I have also helped take care of my niece since she was born and she is 2 now. Before covid I was volunteering at kindercare on sunnyside for 2 years and worked with newborns to 11 months old mostly but also toddlers and pre school aged. I’ve been in children classes all of my high school years and I can change diapers, make bottles, and I was in culinary classes so I can cook too! When I wasn’t working or volunteering there, I was taking care of a 2 month old, 4 year old, and 8 year old at a family friends house and I would stay the night on Saturdays and cook for the kids, make dinner, play with them and make sure they get outside and weren’t on their tablets! People describe my personality as funny, nice, and very caring. I love working with kids and I’m available most the time! I also am great with animals, we have a few rescue cats and dogs and I can take care of your pets as well! I don’t really care about money I just love helping people but I want to get paid for doing something I love and I hope to become a daycare owner one day.
