Hey, I’m Teara! I am outgoing and fun. I like to do arts and crafts, story time, creative/messy games outside(depending on their preferences for weather, of course!) and am always open to trying/learning new thing to do with kids! I am a great communicator and willing give updates throughout the day. I’ve always enjoyed being around kids, along with animals. I love to watch them learn, develop new skills, question things or explain in ways we as adults don’t often think of and watching them find new interests. I have worked with kids for almost 10 years ranging from infants(2mo) -to preteens (12-13). I also have experience and am confident in my abilities when working with multiple young children at once. (1:4 ratio from ages 3 months- 2 years old) I started out with home babysitting for my family then eventually turned into family nannying for other families near me. I have continued to nanny part time for a few families over the last 10 years. Eventually, I found a daycare part time while in HS. & Also worked at a Child Development Center as the Wobbler Assistant & Lead Toddler Teacher for over six years. I have two kiddos of my own- 5 and 3 who love to socialize as well! I’ve recently taken a step back from working in a childcare setting (I definitely still try to stay updated and informed on trainings and child developmental info being learned/taught to teachers and caregivers) and just been taking on part time, last minute, date night gigs! However, I am open to something consistent if it seems like a great fit for everyone. My love and passion for kids has always been there. I continue to do trainings, learn about development and stay up to date on all the child info :) I am also COVID cautious; fully vaccinated, willing to wear a mask, and limiting my exposures. •Meal prep •Homework help •School drop off/pick up •Background check completed •TB test cleared •CPR first aid, blood borne pathogens, & HIV/AIDS certified •Food handlers card •Recognizing/reporting abuse/neglect •Clean driving record, Safe car •Health & Safety •RIE •PBIS I am looking forward to meeting new families through this site & helping out as much as possible.

Teara is amazing. Kind, reliable, and my kiddo loves spending time with her. She is the best

My name is Elena and Im 33 years old. I earned a certificate in early childhood education. I went through professional training at child development center in Portland community college for 6 months. I love children and enjoy interacting with them. I have 11 years of experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Also I have training in first aid and CPR. I have excellent references from other families which I provided child care for.

Lena was super nice and patient with my 4 year old. She played with her, read books, went for a walk, made her lunch and snacks. She was flexible and really sweet. Would definitely have her babysit again!

I am a graduate from Lewis and Clark college. i graduated with a bachelors in Biology. I have watched children at my aunts church occasionally and have babysat for a few families long term. I have 3+ years experience with children as young as 4 months old. I also have experience with children that have learning disabilities and down syndrome. I love to babysit because I plan on becoming an OBGYN or pediatrician. I just love to be around children and help then grow and learn. Also I am a stickler for the outdoors!! I am also First aid/CPR certified and BLS certified as well.

Laloni is very friendly and was wonderful with our boys. They told us they had a lot of fun with her! She arrived a few minutes early, which is always appreciated, and jumped right in with helping to make them dinner. We also really appreciated that she cleaned up afterwards. Will definitely request her again.

Hi, I’m a 42 year old female Portland native born and raised in Sellwood. I’m married I have my degree in massage and healing arts. My husband and I have a 18 year old daughter and have two amazing cats. I currently live in multnomah village, and absolutely love living in Portland. I have over 17 years experience working with children ranging from newborn to 12 years of age. I’ve always loved working with kids since I was a teenager my self. I’m a very active person. I especially enjoy being outside, hiking gardening, cooking and reading, art and museums. I’m very passionate about the outdoors and love creating space for the little ones that I watch to explore and go on new adventures. I am CPR trained as well as first aid and a certified preschool teachers assistant. I’ve nannied for many families throughout the years and have plenty of references to provide. I like to think I’m a creative thinker, great problem, solver multitasker and able to teach while having fun. I also have experience with working with the elderly and have been trained in that as well. I’m very much a people person and have an outgoing personality. The reason I enjoy working with children so much is that I believe it brings me as much joy as it does them. I feel it to be a very gratifying job. I think you really have to like what you’re doing to be good at something. Looking forward to meeting your families and their little ones.

Trisha was great with my son.

"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."
