The most important part about being a nanny...
Meeting the needs and expectations of the parents AND the child.
Showing the child that they are cared for, safe, heard, respected, and valued.

Babysitter Available in Portland, OR: Yenissis S.
Hello, I’m 15 and turning 16 soon, and I go to Jesuit High School. I really love being around kids and enjoy helping them have fun while also making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and easy to get along with, and I try to create a positive and calm environment. I take school and responsibilities seriously, and my values have taught me to be kind, respectful, and dependable. I like doing activities with kids, helping with simple tasks, and just being someone they can trust and feel comfortable with. I’m looking for babysitting jobs to start building my savings for college and help with my own necessities. I would really appreciate the opportunity to help your family and care for your kids. When I get older I want to work with kids. This opportunity would help a lot.
