Sittercity helps Seaside families find the best nannies

Hello, my name is Jessica, I'm a fun and happy person to be around! I love arts and crafts baking and cooking, games, and reading. I've been working with kids for a little over 10 years. I started helping in Sunday school. Starting with the two-year-olds and working my way up to having more responsibility. I have worked in all ages from the nursery to fifth grade. (six months to twelve years old). I started babysitting and nannying about 2 years ago, I am very highly rated and recommended by the families I work with. What sets me apart from many other babysitters is how thorough I am. I make sure I have all the basics down (and written down). I make sure I talk with the parents first, writing down the times for bed, how much screen time they can have, rules, and schedules the kids have. I make sure I Write down everything we did that day. (bedtime, playing, screen time, when and how much they eat). When the parents come back they can pick up right where I left off, so they know “ ok my kid ate only a little bit of lunch so they will be more hungry by dinner and may need a snack before dinner.” or “My kid had 30 minutes of screen time so they only get this much.” I make sure it is written down and the parents can take a picture and have a copy.

I’m Katie, I've been babysitting for over 2 years, caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I love getting kids involved in fun activities like arts and crafts, outdoor games, and reading. I'm also CPR and first aid certified and enjoy helping with homework. I'm passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment for kids

I am a nurturer at heart and adore children. I have been working with children for the last 5 years. I have a BA degree in Psychology and currently studying Holistic Nutrition. I'm enthusiastic to provide children with activities that work towards both their physical and social development. As a parent myself I understand how important it is to find the right person. I believe in teamwork and open communication. I bring my previous nanny experience and working with children ages 6m to 18yrs in various environments modeling patience, consistency, creative and imaginative play, and positive communication. *I am Aegis Certified/Trained -Specializes in non-violent crisis de-escalation and prevention techniques, *Enrolled with the Oregon Registry - Certified Step 10 T *The Oregon Center for Career Development in Childhood Care and Education Central Background Registry - # R356765 exp.12/4/2017 *Food Handlers/CPR certified SHAWNA ZELLER ______________________________________________________________________________ OBJECTIVE: Nanny – Nurture children and provide them with activities that work towards both physical and mental development SKILLS SUMMARY • Functional knowledge of managing children from ages 0 months to 18 years • Hands on experience in assisting children of all ages with homework and other activities • In depth knowledge of meal preparation and feeding children • Adept with toddlers/preschool age age and ensuring that their core needs are filled SPECIAL CAPABILITIES • Patience • Consistency • Creative and Imaginative • Trustworthiness • Multitasking • Nurturing • Sense of Humor • Communication • Promote Independence PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Nanny Share| *Private Family*Portland OR| Aug 2014– June 2015 • Prepared healthy meals and snacks the appropriate times • Encourage social interaction and providing stimulating learning environments of all kinds • Teach social graces and table manners • Place children down for naps • Play indoor and outdoor games with children •Took children on outings to Zoo, OMSI, Park, Aquarium, Fire Station, Children’s Theater Performances, Hiking, Gardening, Roller Skating • Tidy play areas and put away toys • Lead educational activities such as reading, puzzles and cognitive development activities • Wash dishes, children’s laundry, light housekeeping
