Jaquelyn $25 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been working with kiddos for a long time, with a specialty for those with behavioral health issues, developmental delays, in/from foster care, adopted, etc. I currently work as a DSP for two agencies in Portland, for kids and adults with special needs. I’ve worked as a live-in nanny, and I am generally the friend asked to babysit/housesit/petsit bc I’m naturally nurturing and patient, and I genuinely get a kick out of learning everyone’s quirks, obsessions, needs, communication styles, etc. I am not a stranger at all to high stress moments, guiding re-regulation, and conflict resolution. First aid and CPR certified

"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."
