A little bit about me

I have plenty of experience with children as my mother has had her own in home daycare for most of my life. A few years ago, following the pandemic, I became a nanny to my two nephews because my sister in law was an essential worker.
In this time, I realized how much I enjoyed the experience, even though the children I cared for were family, I feel confident that I can bring that same sort of over all comfort for another family as their nanny.
I am open to experience the different combinations between siblings, I have been a tutor for elementary school ages recently and am comfortable with those ages as well as older children.
As of now I currently have a child of my own and if possible would like to help your family from my own home due to schedule issues, routines and comfortability for him.
I understand if this is not a situation you’d be comfortable with since most would like their Nannies within their own homes.
I wish you luck in finding your perfect fit!

A little bit about me

November 2000 I moved to Southern Oregon. My first job since relocating was the YMCA preschool where I found my first Oregon Nanny Family. As babies grew older and new life changes happened I moved to new families. My first child was born 2004. My second was born 2011. My most recent Nanny job ended when again the baby grew and was ready for preschool. She is turning 4 this May. Today I'm looking for a part time Nanny job during school hours. I currently have an office management position at Rogue River Property Management which I plan to keep. I work Wednesday and Thursday 10-2 as of now but might be able to switch around a bit in days. I might also be available Fridays. I'm hoping to help new families in their new born baby journeys! Will update my CPR/FIRST AID when I find the right family.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Juliana, and I am an 18-year-old high school graduate and soon-to-be student at the University of Texas at Arlington. I have about three years of babysitting experience and have cared for children ranging from 2 to 10 years old, though I'm comfortable working with children of any age.

I'm responsible, patient, and I genuinely enjoy working with children and building meaningful connections while helping them feel safe, happy, and supported. I'm happy to help with homework, prepare simple meals, and follow daily or bedtime routines. I take pride in being someone parents can trust and kids feel comfortable around.

"Juliana is reliable, patient, and genuinely caring. She created a safe, nurturing, and structured environment while also making sure the children felt loved and supported. She was excellent at maintaining routines, preparing meals, assisting with learning activities, and engaging the children in creative play. One of her greatest strengths is her ability to handle responsibilities calmly and confidently. She communicated clearly with us, respected our parenting preferences, and was always proactive when it came to the children’s needs. We trusted her completely, which is invaluable when it comes to childcare. She is also fluent in Spanish which I love because I want my daughter to maintain her first language."

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Ruth, and I’m currently taking a gap year before attending Syracuse University, where I plan to study business. I’m a creative, energetic, and responsible babysitter with 3 years of experience caring for children of all ages.

I’ve worked with multiple children at once, as well as worked as a camp counselor and educational counselor at a science museum. I’ve also taken a Child Development course, which has helped me better understand children’s needs and development.

I love keeping kids engaged through crafts, reading, sensory play, outdoor activities, swimming, baking, and community outings. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals, light housekeeping, and bedtime routines.

I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation and a clean driving record, and am comfortable with pets. I value kindness, patience, and communication, and my goal is to make every child feel safe, supported, and excited to spend time together!

What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

A nanny is a professional caregiver who is responsible for the full-time care of children in the family's home.

Nannies typically have more experience and training in child care, and may also be responsible for additional tasks such as meal preparation and light housekeeping.
