A little bit about me
Hello my name is Jess, I am a 22 year old female finishing my BA degree at Oregon State University. I have been working as a qualified nanny for over 6 years now. I love working with children; their inquisitive attitudes and loads of energy make them a joy to be around. I am responsible and dependable, but also fun and energetic. I have experience and am comfortable with newborns to young teens. I myself have three nieces ages 9, 8, & 1 whom I care for all the time. I would take care of multiple families in the neighborhood while living in Southern California.
Not only are kids my specialty I am also great with animals. I am also great around the house always doing chores. Not to mention I love to cook and promote plant-based advocacy and sustainability. I have a profound love for the arts. If my bio interests you feel free to give me a message and I can send you my resume. Hope I can help.

A little bit about me
I’m a creative, musical nanny and I am all about gentle guidance of kiddos. I love nature and crafts and I’m a teacher at heart, passionate about sharing skills that are functional and helpful for a child’s growth. I’ve worked as a music teacher and in Montessori environments and dedicated my time and energy to mostly infants and 3 year olds. I have experience working with kids on the neurodivergent spectrum as well as with queer families and I aim to create inclusive environments and language to help the next generation become gentler with themselves and others.

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Ayzia (like the continent), and I'm excited to be seeking a nanny position. Although I don't have formal childcare experience, I am the eldest sibling in my family, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience in caring for younger children. I absolutely love spending time with kids, whether it's playing games, helping with homework, or simply being there to support them. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to connect and provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for your little ones!

My name is Markus Causey I am 19 going on 20 in may. I’m looking to be a babysitter/nanny because for 1 I grew up with 7 younger siblings so I’m really used to taking care of children been doing it my whole life. I also worked at day 1 tech it was a community started organization. I would go around the rockwood area to local elementary and middle schools and mentor them. If I wasn’t in the schools we would set up community fairs and what not all day. So working and entertaining children is normal for me and I love it
