More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I was a long-term substitute in both elementary and middle/high school settings for the ‘25/‘26 school year and have been babysitting all ages since I was 12 years old! I have a large family with a niece and nephews that I care for frequently. Most notably, I was solely responsible for 4 kids for a two-week period where I performed all caregiving and home-care tasks.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love playing outside whether it’s riding bikes, playing sports, or going to the park. I am also an expert scavenger hunt maker for days inside!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being a dependable person in both the kid’s and parent’s lives. I prioritize safety, good communication, and a positive attitude so the parents can have peace of mind while they are away and the kids look forward to our time together.

My experience with special needs children...

I was a regular substitute teacher for an elementary special needs department, learning to adapt to a variety of educational and personal needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Setting up a make-shift bowling alley in the basement with glow-sticks and music for a fun night that lifted everyone’s spirits when they were missing mom and dad.

Natalie H. - Seeking Work in Bend

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Bend, OR: Natalie H.

Hello! My name is Natalie, and I have been living in Europe for the past two years, teaching kindergarten at an IB-accredited international school. I am from Oregon, and as much as I love it in Europe, I plan to return this summer to be closer to my family. In addition to working full-time, I also started my Master's degree online last summer, so I will be continuing with that when I return. While I finish my program (at least for the next year), I want to continue to be with kids but without the pressures of a full-time teaching contract. This is why I hope to nanny!
