I’ve taken several child development classes and worked as a summer camp counselor for kids ages 4–12. As the oldest sister, I’ve also had a lot of hands-on experience helping care for my younger siblings when they were toddlers. I previously worked as a DSP in a youth residential program as well. I was majoring in Art & Design at PSU and am currently taking a break from school. I love going on little adventures with the kids and have arts & crafts activities!

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 is great - she's bonded with our too-cool-for-school 4th grader and talks pop music with our little Swiftie. We're all very happy for date nights when Trisha is coming!”

Hello, I am born and raised here Portland! I have two younger sisters and began caretaking at an early age. I incorporate mindfulness into my caretaking and engage every child's unique development. My calm demeanor and goofy spirit allows children of all ages to feel comfortable and safe. I'm also an artist and painter, so I enjoy creating crafty activities for kids!

“Sierra was great! She arrived early and was very good with the kids, playing with them, reading to them at bedtime and even staying with my son until he went to sleep. We will use her again and would recommend her. Thank you!”

Hello - My name is Beatriz Stewart, I have a major in Psychology with a focus on child development. My past responsibilities as a nanny have included driving to/from school, activities in and outside of the house, bathing and feeding. I am also available to cook and clean. I'm comfortable adjusting to any religious orientation, eating habits or teachings. And I'm very comfortable with dogs.

“Amazing! We lucked out and found Beatriz last minute and a full two months later we couldn't be happier. She is professional, attentive, supportive of things we want to try as parents, and a great communicator. We trust her with our baby girl and can relax knowing she is in safe hands. Highly recommend.”

"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."
