Michele $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Michele, and I graduated with my BS in Human Development with a focus in Early Childhood Education and a specialty of Teaching Young Children with Special Needs. I have taught infants to preschool age children, with my last educational position as a Lead Teacher in an Infant/Toddler room for Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. I am a mother of 3 (adult) children (31, 29 & 23). I am currently employed as a full-time Nanny to a 4 year old and a 13 month old here in Portland, OR. PLEASE NOTE: I am only looking for positions in the SW Hills, NW Hills/Nob Hill, Pearl or downtown areas. I will not be available to begin a new position until September of 2026. I bring extensive experience educationally, professionally, and personally. **ADDITIONAL SKILLS: Integrative Wellness Stylist and Coach with over 15 years of practice (both full & part-time - currently not practicing). Also, I have a background as a Personal Chef with a focus on whole foods. (I am not offering this service at this time; however, I would consider a full-time menu development, shop, prep & preparation of meals position - this is its own position, and not in addition to a Nanny Position). I am excellent at true home keeping that is in addition to your separate house cleaning service for daily, clutter-free upkeep (also a service that is not in addition to a Nanny position). We moved from Northern New England a little over 5 years ago, I am well traveled, enjoy being physically active, I dabble in watercolor art, and enjoy exploring our wonderful city, and PNW in general. I am happy to provide my resume. Cheers, Michele (Chele)

N'karlie $18 per hour for 1 child

I have hands-on experience working with children through ESS K–12 as a substitute/teachers assistant, mainly with pre-K to elementary students, including children with special needs. I’m used to stepping into different environments, following routines, and supporting kids with different learning and emotional needs. I’m patient, dependable, and calm, I genuinely enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. Depending on the school and needs of the children I help with daily routines, playtime, feeding, changing, organization, keeping spaces tidy, class work, and I always aim to be a positive, steady presence.

"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."
