Booked by 1 family in Gales Creek, OR

Hi, I'm Mariel and I would love to help you and your family! I am currently 28 years old and live in Beaverton. In recent years, I've been a nanny for children ranging from newborns to middle schoolers. I have nannied for about 6 years and have always had a passion for kids! My most recent nanny opportunity was with a 10 month old girl (started at 6 months) and sometimes her 3 year old brother. I feel comfortable working with multiple children at once. I love playing with the kids and helping them grow! I have my own car so transportation would never be a problem and I am also CPR and first aid certified. I'd love to hear back from you! Thank you! Mariel

Hello! My name is Amanda, but many people know me as Bambi. I moved to Los Angeles from Kentucky several years ago and have built my life around caregiving roles—as a nanny, caregiver, and server. I have recently relocated to Oregon, and love it so much! I've always had a nurturing, empathetic presence, and I find deep fulfillment in supporting and enriching the lives of others, especially children. I bring creativity and joy into my caregiving, especially through music—one of my greatest passions. With a background in music, I love incorporating singing, rhythm, and playful learning into my time with kids. I also absolutely love animals! I have experience as a daycare attendant at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities. Whether it’s children or pets, I take pride in being attentive, gentle, and tuned in to their needs. I grew up with a strong example in my own home—my mom has been a kindergarten teacher for over 20 years. Being raised by an educator gave me a deep appreciation for child development, structure, and the value of patient, supportive care.

“She took amazing care of my animals! I was able to travel across the country and felt total peace of mind with Amanda (Bambi) taking care of my animals. She sent frequent updates and photos! Would definitely hire her again!”

Hello families! I’m excited to meet you and your kiddos! I’m Maria but children like using my nickname, Ria 😊 I've been in Portland for most of my life. I love it here, especially the proximity to all the natural beauty and the ocean. I'm a passionate hiker and always chasing the next waterfall. I have 20+ years of experience in childcare, from infants to teens. I have been co-parenting my young niece and nephew for 5 years, I was a foster mother for a year and I’ve cared for many other children through the years, so I have a wide range of experience. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing environment for children to experience their journeys. I encourage children to express themselves and explore the world through creation, imagination, playtime, activities, movement, games, singing, exploring nature, reading and most of all, FUN! I love a good little dance party. I will keep your child(ren) engaged during our time together! My belief is that children are simply young people exploring their way through this wonderful and sometimes challenging world. What an honor for us as adults to help guide them on their journeys. I am happy to prepare meals and clean up during my visit as it relates to your child’s care, but my priority is to focus on your child(ren) during our time together. I’m available for some house cleaning for an additional charge (at naptime or after bedtime, for example). I’m available for part time and occasional care, including overnight stays. I’m also available for pet and housesitting. I’m an excellent communicator and will keep you informed throughout your time away, as frequently or infrequently as you prefer. I have a reliable car, I’m punctual and I’m flexible if you need to be out later than planned (most times). Please reach out if you have any questions or special circumstances or requests. I look forward to meeting you!

“Wonderful and communicative and easy going.”

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
