A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Alison Brandt and I am
22 years old. I am number three in a family of six kids so I have had child care responsibilities/experience long before I could babysit outside of our home.
Throughout my early teen years I babysat for friends, family, and worked in church nurseries. I have done nanny work for two different families over the last couple of years that were both live out. I’ve had many different working experiences, but I find childcare very rewarding.
My family has a working farm out in Sheridan. I love being on the farm and working during harvest season as well as with our animals whenever possible but since it is seasonal I have decided that working with children in different capacities has been most enjoyable. I enjoy archery hunting with my family and working with horses.
I am, caring, patient, responsible and great with kids! I love to play outdoors, read books, play games, and take very seriously the safety and well being of children.

A little bit about me

My name is Ellana. I have been in childcare for six years as a babysitter, preschool teacher and a direct support professional caring for children with special needs. I have experience with newborns through teenagers, though most of my experience is with newborns through age 4. I love doing arts and crafts and taking the children in my care to do fun things, like the park and zoo when the weather is nice. I have some early childhood education coursework from before I changed my major. I am currently a student at chemeketa community college which is why my hours are mostly afternoon and night hours. The hours may change with the new term in January but I would give my employer as much notice as I can. I have my own car, am drug free and willing to help with cooking and light housework. I am also willing to help children with homework and school if they have it.

A little bit about me

I am a passionate advocate for childhood and believe that children need time to just be children. I have six years of daycare experience in a NAEYC certified childcare center, during which time I also received training in Reggio Emilia and RIE philosophies of child care. I have nannied part time for many families, and full time for three. Nannying is in many ways the best job ever, I love connecting in depth with little people and truly getting to enjoy our time together! I bring my experiences from the classroom to the table by ensuring we always have something fun to do. I also love to let kids tell me what they're interested in, instead of pushing my ideas on them! I value getting outside every day, rain or shine. During non-Covid times, trips to the library or other community center are a favorite of mine- a shake-up of the normal routine that still has its predictable elements, and benefits both child and adult. If these values align with your family, please reach out to me!
