Myshira Portage
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Myshira, and I’m a dedicated, dependable, and nurturing caregiver with a genuine passion for working with children. I’m a proud mom of three toddlers, CPR certified, and work as a Medical Assistant, giving me a strong background in health, safety, and compassionate care. I also serve as the secretary at my church, a role that has strengthened my organizational skills, reliability, and commitment to serving others. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and have fun. I enjoy helping with homework, preparing nutritious meals and snacks, and baking fun treats with kids. I’m also comfortable caring for family pets, including cats. My personality is warm, patient, outgoing, and energetic, and I truly enjoy building positive relationships with both children and their families. I take pride in being someone parents can trust to care for their children as if they were my own.

I am the oldest of 4 siblings , my youngest brother has Down syndrome and I was his primary care taker for many years so I have experience with children who need a little more patience than your normal kid. I also have 4 kids of my own ages 3-12 so I’m used to controlled chaos on the regular.

Without hesitation, Brea notably immersed herself in community by helping open COVID-19 clinics at the height of the pandemic. She finds her sense of purpose when serving the community. Working on the front lines during such an intense period reaffirmed her belief that medicine should never force a choice between competency and empathy. Patients deserve both - and that philosophy guides every aspect of her work. Brea holds a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Psychology Pre-Medicine with minors in Chemistry, Biology, and Medical Humanities from Indiana University. She later earned Master's in Immunology, Microbiology, and Pathology from Colorado State University. Her clinical background pans urgent care, primary care, and emergency medicine, where she has gained extensive experience in diagnostic testing, procedures, and patient-centered care. Her unique blend of medical expertise, trauma-informed training, and personal resilience allows her to translate complex science into practical, accessible guidance. Whether she is supporting patients in a clinical setting or coaching clients through nervous system regulation and somatic healing, Brea's approach is grounded in compassion, evidence-based practice, and a deep respect for the human experience. Brea blends her background in clinical medicine with rigorous neuroscience-based training to help individuals strengthen both their physical and emotional well-being. She also brings extensive training and hands-on experience in behavioral techniques, breathing exercises, and grounding work to support patients/clients through anxiety, trauma responses, and acute/daily stressors. At the heart of her work is a simple mission: to be the helping hand she often found herself needing- someone who empowers others to reconnect, regulate, and rebuild from the inside out.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
