Meet college nannies and sitters from University of Portland

Wellthy Partners: DO NOT message me about jobs unless I APPLY for them. I’m moving out of the Bay Area on 8/15/2026. I’m available for one time gigs but not regular gigs. Thank you! Hi Parents! I'm Laura, a highly educated and experienced sitter who is excited about the possibility of babysitting your children! In addition to 20+ years of babysitting experience, I am a former teacher. Although I've mostly taught middle school English and history, I've worked with K-12 students in and outside of the classroom as a site coordinator and workshop facilitator. More recently, I've worked in healthcare for six years as a receptionist and scribe. I enjoy cooking, doing art projects, playing games, playing outside in nice weather, and reading with kids. I let the kid(s) take the lead in activities, within reason, of course. ;) Both my teaching experience and multidisciplinary education allow me to effectively help with homework. I have a Bachelor's degree in English and a minor in psychology plus 38 post-baccalaureate science credits, I’m starting grad school in August for audiology (AuD). I hope to work as an educational audiologist after graduation! I have undergone CPR/first aid/AED, and Safe Environment training as required by the schools where I taught. I am most comfortable caring for kids 2 years of age and older. I love pets and pet sit so no need to worry about allergies. 🐈🐕 my pet sitting rates differ from my babysitting rates, so please don't hesitate to ask! I have a valid driver's license, a reliable vehicle, and a clean driving record. I can drive my own car or the parents’ cars if automatic I accept cash, check, credit/debit card via Urban Sitter, Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal. I am willing to stay later than the agreed upon time provided that 1) the parent/guardian communicates this need with me and 2) I do not have any prior commitments afterwards. If you are going to be home more than 15 minutes past the agreed upon arrival time, please let me know. On my end, I will call or text if I am running late to a job. I require full payment if you cancel the job with less than 24 hours notice, except for inclement weather, death of a loved one, or medical reasons. If I have to cancel for illness or another unavoidable reason with less than 24 hours notice, a 25% discount will be applied to the next booking. Please don’t hesitate to message me with questions. Thank you for considering me and I hope we can work together soon! Best, Laura

Hello! My name is Sophia and I’m a senior at the University of Portland! I offer childcare and household services. I really love babysitting and have gotten my childcare experience from multiple places. I have been babysitting for the past five years, as well as four years of camp counselor work. Majority of my experience has been with kids ages two and above. I am also able to cook, clean, drive and tutor! I am currently not CPR certified, but am in the process of recertification. I am allergic to cats and dogs, so please give me a heads up if you own one! Very happy to work with animals, just need to bring allergy medication. Thank you!

I am a Portland native and I worked as a teacher for 4 years. I graduated with my BA from Lewis & Clark College and earned my MAT at the University of Portland. I am currently a volunteer on the board of a nonprofit and am starting up a small online business with an old friend. I enjoy soccer, hiking, singing with my gospel choir, teaching Girl Scouts how to sew, and I’m currently renovating a vintage Airstream. I started baby-sitting as a ten-year-old, and have since worked with children of all ages. Most of my experience is with elementary school age kids, but I love babies and toddlers as well. Please check my calendar for availability. I am primarily available for date nights, not after-school pick-ups. Thanks!

Hi! My name is Sophie, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 5 years of paid experience in both babysitting and dog sitting. I’m currently in nursing school, which has strengthened my attention to safety, communication, and caring for others. I’m CPR certified and always prioritize creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for the children I care for. I truly love working with kids and enjoy engaging with them through play, creativity, and everyday routines. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs and personality. I also come from a big dog household. I have three dogs of my own of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable around pets and happy to help in homes with animals. I have my own reliable car and do not smoke or use any substances, ensuring dependable transportation and a healthy, safe environment for the families I work with. Whether it’s keeping kids entertained, helping with routines, or simply being someone children feel comfortable around, I take pride in being a caregiver families can trust and rely on

Hello! I am originally from Ethiopia. I have lived in the U.S. for 18 years now. I love learning and spending time with my loved ones.

I enjoy being around people caring for the vulnerable, it is a true passion of mine.
