Hi parents! My name is Brianna/Bri, I am 29 years old with over 6 years of solid babysitting experience. My mom ran a daycare between her and I, from ages varying 1-15. I truly enjoy teaching children, keeping them occupied, fed, and happy. I know a good amount of sign language, having taken 4 years of it, and I love to teach little ones with parents' permission. I am the eldest daughter and also helped raise my younger siblings. When I had days off from middle school and high school, I would go to my old elementary, which I loved dearly to volunteer. I understand the importance of safety, tactile learning, and worries a parent could have. Some parents in the past wanted updates, pictures, etc, and I am always happy to provide! I am new to Wyndy. However, I guarantee I am a top-notch babysitter that has love and compassion for all little ones.

Hello! I’m Deanne, I am 31 and a native Oregonian born and raised in Tigard. I have worked as a nanny, babysitter, and teacher for multiple age groups ranging from infants to middle school, although I have the most experience with infant-preschool age. I have been a preschool teacher for the past few years, and I’m missing that one on one special connection nannying can bring. I have teacher experience, so I am more than happy to bring a lot activities and bring in more of that elemental as well for that age! When I’m not working with children, I like to find new restaurants with friends, step into nature, see live music, and cuddle with my cat on the couch.

Hello! I'm a 23-year-old mom and a full time senior at Portland State University. I've been babysitting for years and have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants. As a mom, I know how important it is for children to feel safe and cared for, and I treat every child with the same care I'd want for my own. For some babysitting jobs, | may need to bring my little one with me, but only if your family is comfortable with that. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and care for your loved ones!
