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.

Hey my name is Krista. I’ve been working with children professionally for the last 8/9 years but I’ve been working with children since I was 12. I mostly have worked with infants through 4 years and middle school age but I have also worked with grade school children. I have my bachelors degree in early childhood/elementary education and my masters in special education. I am currently a middle school special education teacher and am looking for an evening job with occasional availability on the weekends. Also, I grew up with dogs and love working with animals so I am more than okay if you have pets!

Hello my name is Akasha! I’m 19 and currently in school for my bachelors in psychology. I’ve worked with children weather in a daycare, sitting, or as a nanny for 3 years. I’m comfortable working with multiple children at a time. I love engaging with children on their learning or play in ways that support the parents (and child’s) wants/needs. When working im more than fine cooking, cleaning, and teaching. I’m teacher assistant certified, background checked, cpr certified, wilderness survival certified, food handling certified, and many more! I look forward to helping any family that needs it!

I have had many opportunities to work with and teach children throughout my life. I am currently working in elementary special education, starting my 10th year this year! Along with my experience working in education, I have worked as a tutor, full-time nanny, part-time nanny, before and after school babysitter, and as an au pair in Spain! (I’m not fluent, but I do speak some Spanish!) I have participated in many trainings through my school district for special needs care (including occupational and physical therapy trainings, autism-specific care, and alternative & augmentative communication) as well as social/emotional learning, equity, and culturally responsive teaching. I have also completed training and have certificates in the following: Celebrating Milestones and Sharing Concerns (CDC); Safe Sleep Ambassador, Child Welfare, Home Visitors (Cribs for Kids); Water Safety for Parents and Caregivers (Red Cross); Carseat Basics, Children in Hot Cars (National Safety Council) My top priority is to foster a positive, creative, and open environment where kids feel heard, cared for, and ready to have fun! I’ve been working with kids my whole adult life and I’m always learning and growing with them. I can’t wait to bring some fun ideas to your kids and learn all about their favorite things!

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.

I turn 21 this month and I’m currently attending college for education. I love working with kids and have lots of experience. I have seven siblings six of whom are younger; I grew up helping my mom take care of them. I have worked as a babysitter off and on since I was 13 and it's still my favorite job. I would like to be a nanny or babysitter and hope to find a family that I fit well with.
