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.

I have been a teacher for the past 16 years for students with specials needs. I have also worked for nanny agencies on call and had my own childcare facility for a year before moving to Maui. I now live in Portland and am available on call. I love children and have loads of experience as well as qualifications/credentials. I am reliable and show up on time. I clean and tidy up too.

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 have a few activities I always bring with me that are usually a hit with every age. *I’m up to date on COVID and Flu shots. Hope to hear from you!

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!

“Shaikha was kind, reliable and very professional. She watched our energetic 3 year old while we attended a wedding, which included waking him up from his nap. She was great managing the transition and introducing herself slowly with books and toys to give our son time to warm up to her. She managed dinner and bedtime routines like a pro, and was comfortable with our dog and feeding him dinner. We would absolutely recommend Shaikha.”

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!

"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."
