A little bit about me

I'm 33 year olds and I've been babysitting/nannying since I was 13. I grew up assisting my mother who ran a successful licensed daycare out of our home for 18 years. My first job was a lifeguard & swim instructor which allowed me to obtain my CPR, AED, & First Aid certifications which I have maintained. And if you ever find yourself needing swim lessons, I do those too!

I love spending time helping people and being active. I grew up as a three sport athlete and swam in college, so sporting events and being outdoors are a few of my favorite things!

I have 5 nephews and one niece, and I really love being their aunt! Kids are awesome and I enjoy getting to spend time with them!

I take pride in my work and I always want to do the best job possible. I'm organized and thoughtful and will treat your children and home with respect. I pride myself in being fun and engaging with children, as well as keeping them safe and sticking to routines!

Please reach out with any questions!

Kimmy C. - Seeking Work in Sherwood

Part-Time Nanny Available in Sherwood, OR: Kimmy C.

Hi! My name is Kimmy, and I’m a college sophomore with a strong passion for childcare and 6+ years of hands-on experience. I grew up in a big family with four siblings, so my love for working with children started early. I’ve built on that by working at a preschool for 2 years, caring for children ages 2–6, and spending multiple summers as a camp counselor with children ages 2–9. In addition to preschool and camp experience, I’ve been babysitting kids ages 0–14 for the past 6 years! Most recently, I nannied full-time for a 6-month-old and a 4-year-old for 6 months. I’m confident in caring for infants and toddlers, including diaper changes, bottle prep, feeding, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. I also provide light household help as needed. My childcare style is rooted in a gentle, respectful approach with consistent boundaries. I believe kids deserve to feel heard and supported in a safe, nurturing environment. I’m enthusiastic, reliable, and truly love what I do!
