Mariel $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

Hi, I'm Mariel and I would love to help you and your family! I am currently 28 years old and live in Beaverton. In recent years, I've been a nanny for children ranging from newborns to middle schoolers. I have nannied for about 6 years and have always had a passion for kids! My most recent nanny opportunity was with a 10 month old girl (started at 6 months) and sometimes her 3 year old brother. I feel comfortable working with multiple children at once. I love playing with the kids and helping them grow! I have my own car so transportation would never be a problem and I am also CPR and first aid certified. I'd love to hear back from you! Thank you! Mariel

Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

Hi! My name's Rachel, I am 23, and I am a graduate from Clackamas Community College. I have some experience watching over the young children of friends and family. Through spending time with them, I realized the joy I felt in helping them discover new things! I enjoy playing games with them, doing crafts, and going outside. I have taken classes on safe sleep, water safety, foundations for learning, recognizing and reporting abuse, and health and safety. I am up to date on vaccines including Covid and flu. Though I lack professional experience, I am passionate about working with kids and am hoping to gain experience. I am also a current dog owner who has grown up with both dogs and cats. I have been pet sitting for 3 years now and love spending time with pets!

Lexi $18 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I'm Lexi, My journey working with children started when I was 14. I did a lot of babysitting gigs and volunteer work with pre schools and my siblings schools. I loved it! I am 27 years old. I am a current preschool teacher at a local Montessori school. Sadly with covid things have gotten slower. With Montessori I work with a couple different ages, 11 months to 5 year olds. Outside of Montessori I have nannied all the way up to 16 year olds. Babysitting / Nannying has always been something I enjoy because I love being around Littles. I enjoy seeing kid's happy, teaching them new things and seeing them learn new things, taking them on adventures, letting them have fun, but in a safe environment. Being a positive and supportive influence in a child’s life is important. I have three younger siblings and we do a lot of activities all year round. I like to get them out and about, not just have them cooped up in a house all the time. I do like to stay to a schedule. If you have a schedule already I follow them. I have Babysat a number of littles and treated each one just like they were my own. Comfortability is a big thing! I have my CPR , Food-handlers , and other school required hours/certificates. If there is anything more you would like to know feel free to ask!

Casey $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Casey — a highly responsible, energetic, and experienced caregiver with many years of hands-on work in childcare, senior care, and household support. I worked as a nanny throughout my college years, served as a CNA in a nursing home, and previously worked as a lifeguard — so safety and attentiveness are second nature to me. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, supporting seniors with daily needs, and managing multiple household responsibilities with care and professionalism. I also speak Spanish and am a safe, vigilant driver. Friends’ children affectionately know me as “Auntie Casey,” which captures both my warmth and reliability. I love to cook, am happy to help with cleaning and organization, and genuinely enjoy creating a calm, fun, and structured environment. I’m currently seeking temporary work for the next 4 weeks before I move overseas to get married. I’m flexible with scheduling and eager to support families during this season. Looking forward to connecting!

"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."
