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.

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!

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.

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!

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 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.
