A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Leila Proffitt, And I’m a responsible & motivated 16 year old from Oregon. I’m currently looking for opportunities to babysit or pet sit. I hope to bring a lot of positive energy to families I work with. I love helping others & I'm always happy to help with cleaning, whether that means doing the dishes, etc.

As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve taken on a leadership & caregiving role from a young age. I’ve helped care for my siblings through every stage of childhood. While I have experience with all groups, I would prefer working with children between the ages of 3 and 14. I love engaging creative activities, helping with homework, or just being a supportive & fun presence.

I have plenty of experience caring for pets. I've had 2 dogs and 5 cats, so I know how important it is to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. I can walk dogs, feed pets, clean litter boxes, & give them the attention needed. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly!

Part-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Keeley G.

Hey,
I am a 16yr old high schooler with a lot of child experience from babysitting, foster care, daycare, and volunteering with middling schoolers. I am hoping to be CPR, First AID and AED certified in a few weeks through a class I take called child development where we learn about the stages of development, warning signs, how to care for multiple age ranges, and take home real care baby simulators that are around an infants age for a weekend. I have worked with kids from as young as 4 days old to 17 year olds through foster care and a lot of them being special needs. I have also volunteered to help with special needs kids in middle school doing various things. I’m good with pets as well so animals won’t be an issue for me and I can clean up around the house and cook.
