Booked by 58 families in Portland, OR

Hello! My name is Sophia and I’m a senior at the University of Portland! I offer childcare and household services. I really love babysitting and have gotten my childcare experience from multiple places. I have been babysitting for the past five years, as well as four years of camp counselor work. Majority of my experience has been with kids ages two and above. I am also able to cook, clean, drive and tutor! I am currently not CPR certified, but am in the process of recertification. I am allergic to cats and dogs, so please give me a heads up if you own one! Very happy to work with animals, just need to bring allergy medication. Thank you!

Hello! :) My name is Nyah. I am 25 years old and located in downtown Portland area. I am a very reliable, experienced sitter and know the functions of this job very well due to 8 years of nannying experience as well as growing up with 2 younger brothers. I am CPR certified and also have experience as a postpartum doula’s assistant caring for newborns. I am very empathetic, caring, trustworthy, and reliable. I absolutely love working with kids because we can learn so much from them. It’s very rewarding seeing kids I watched as babies grow up and still keep that bond. While working I like doing activities that keep them entertained but also inspire their creativity and passion. I look forward to meeting your family! :)

Hello - My name is Beatriz Stewart, I have a major in Psychology with a focus on child development. My past responsibilities as a nanny have included driving to/from school, activities in and outside of the house, bathing and feeding. I am also available to cook and clean. I'm comfortable adjusting to any religious orientation, eating habits or teachings. And I'm very comfortable with dogs.

“Amazing! We lucked out and found Beatriz last minute and a full two months later we couldn't be happier. She is professional, attentive, supportive of things we want to try as parents, and a great communicator. We trust her with our baby girl and can relax knowing she is in safe hands. Highly recommend.”

Booked by 2 families in Portland, OR

Hi! I’ve spent 10+ years working with children in a variety of settings, including preschool classrooms, K-5th afterschool care settings, a behavioral + mental health facility for children, cared for infants as a nanny, and helped out at various camps over the years. I’m offering childcare, pet care, and light household help on a part-time basis. I’m looking for some extra hours and would love to help out families in need of flexible, reliable support.

“Megan is great. She connected with my child immediately and they were both ready to play.”

"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."
