A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, and I’m a reliable and nurturing caregiver with a strong background in child care and early childhood development. I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a sweet 22-month-old daughter, which means caring for little ones is part of my daily life, and something I truly love.

I’m looking for a family who’s open to a sitter who brings her baby along. I believe this can be a wonderful setup, especially for families with infants or toddlers who can benefit from having a playmate and positive social interaction. I’m attentive, organized, and calm under pressure, and I make it a priority to keep children safe, engaged, and happy.

Whether you need part-time, full-time, or occasional help, I’d love to chat about how I can support your family. I’m happy to assist with light housework, meals, or routines if needed. I understand the importance of flexibility, especially for parents of young children.

Looking forward to connecting with you!

A little bit about me

My life's mission is simple yet profound: to love and care for as many people as possible. This driving purpose shapes every interaction I have, whether I'm comforting a crying child, spending quality time with a lonely senior, or simply ensuring a pet feels secure while their family is away. I believe that genuine care and compassion can make a meaningful difference in people's lives, and I'm honored to be trusted with that responsibility.
I approach each caregiving opportunity not just as a job, but as a chance to positively impact someone's day, week, or life. Your family's well-being becomes my priority, and I'm committed to providing the highest quality care with warmth, professionalism, and genuine heart.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Emily, a 23 year old daycare teacher looking to provide personalized one on one care for your child! In my free time I'm involved with theatre (currently directing "A Midsummer Nights Dream" here in Sherwood) as well as a few other creative hobbies. I am flexible and believe every child learns at their own pace and comfortability. I have experience with neurodivergent students and am always eager to work with their families in supporting their needs. Early childhood is a crucial time for development and choosing a caregiver to trust is just as important. Let's set up an interview to see if we're the right fit!

A little bit about me

Hi!
My name is Mary Cleveland, I am 21, and I have been a nanny for over 3 years now. I have nannied for twin two year olds, multiple three year olds, infants, and school age children. I live in Sherwood Oregon near edy ridge elementary.
Right now I run a small in home daycare working with kids ranging from 1 to 5, but I am looking for out of home nannying employment. I’m looking for a job that will allow my daughter to come with me (she is currently 7 months), and if before September a job that will allow my 5 year old to come as well. I offer a $2 discount off my normal rate per kid. My son starts kindergarten in the fall so it will only be my daughter accompanying me then.
I am currently in school to become a certified nurse midwife .
I have nannying experience with twins, infants, children with Aspergers and ADHD, and multiple children at a time. The most children I ve watched nanny wise at once was 6, the fewest being 3.
I am CPR first Aid certified, have my food handlers license, reporting neglect and abuse certification, and I m registered in the OCC (Oregons criminal background check registry).
At home I am a mother to a five year old amazing son, and a 7 month old daughter. My skills are playing the violin, running, and swimming. I aspire to be a certified nurse midwife one day. I graduated a year early from high school with a 4.2 GPA. I think that being a nanny has made me an abundantly patient person with a lot of love to give. I prefer taking children outside to play rain or shine versus sitting inside all day. When we are inside I focus our time on crafts, reading, and play.
