Hello! My name is Andrea. I've been professionally working for different childcare organizations and schools for over 15 years now. I have experience working with children of all ages, including toddlers and infants in both an educational and non-educational setting. In college I would babysit/nanny to supplement my student loans. I enjoyed the flexibility of the schedule as well as getting to work with different families. I graduated with a bachelor’s in Physical Activity and Exercise, Health Sciences, and a Master’s in Education. I taught full time for Portland Public Schools for 8 years but have recently decided to explore other career options. I love playing outdoors and being active, but I'm a native Oregonian so I also enjoy rainy day activities when I'm restricted to the indoors. I’m a good cook and leave a clean kitchen when done. *I’m up to date on COVID and Flu shots. Hope to hear from you!

Hi there! My name is Anna and I'm a reporter living in Portland, Oregon. I used UrbanSitter while in college and post graduation, and am now returning after a couple of years working with a few families. I have nearly two years experience working in a daycare center in Portland, and spent 4 months assisting in a school for children with intellectual and physical disabilities abroad. I am very passionate about early childhood education and have worked with various organizations in my hometown on issues affecting youth. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your kids, whether you’re in town for a weekend or looking for regular evening care. Thanks for reading! Please note, I require 50% payment for same-day cancellations and for any time scheduled but not worked (i.e. returning earlier than scheduled end time). I am often flexible on end times, but I require 1.5x pay for late returns that aren’t mutually agreed to.

Hello :) I'm Shaikha. I have a very nurturing personality. I am a kind, compassionate, collected, soft-spoken, care-giving person. I have babysat for every age between 2 months and 11 years. I work day shifts and date night shifts. The safety of children is very important to me as well as easing the parents’ minds. Therefore, I am communicative and I am happy to text message parents important updates while they are out of the house. I am extremely respectful of every house I enter. I’m happy to answer any questions!

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.

Hi there! I have a bachelors in both English and Social Justice from Dominican University of California, and am currently a JD Candidate at Lewis &Clark Law School. I grew up watching my siblings before moving on to paid jobs with family friends and cousins, and when I started college I started nannying more seriously. When I lived in LA, I worked with several different families for small weekly jobs and worked with one family four to five days a week, taking their four kids to numerous activities and after school events. Since moving to Portland two years ago, I spent the last year and a half nannying for a family with 10 year old twins. I have experience working with infants up to 12 years old, and after tutoring high school kids I’m sure I could handle teenagers as well. Let me know if I can answer any questions, I can’t wait to work with you!
