Sitter in Bend, Oregon

I'm a stay-at-home Mama of a 10-month-old baby boy and I'd love to open my home to another baby (age 0-18ish months) to come and play with us! We love to dance to music, read books, engage in fun sensory activities (jello, water, cloud dough!), go for walks outside, and lots and lots of play! I'm also a teacher with a Masters degree in Early Childhood Education. Before having a baby I worked with little ones for over a decade in a variety of roles: public school classroom teacher, early childhood specialist for an inclusive preschool and also as an early childhood educator for a NAEYC-accredited childcare center. I received my state teaching license in 2007, a process that required a background check and fingerprinting. I've been trained multiple times in CPR & first aid, though my card isn't current. Childcare: Part time care for baby welcome! Breastfeeding Mamas welcome!!! :) I follow a baby-led schedule but can accommodate for your scheduling needs. We have a nice house in SW Bend, smoke-free, super clean and super baby-safe. Testimonial Snippets (from letters of recommendation:) "One of the finest teachers I have ever worked with.
