Hi there! My name is Ray. I’ve worked in a variety of non-traditional and traditional education settings for over a decade. My favorite experience was being a camp counselor at Camp Tamarack, I loved how learning outside made kids more engaged with the material and each other. It means a lot to me to connect children with to the nature near them, especially since I was born and raised in Oregon. Besides that, I’ve worked mostly in nursery and early childhood education settings. I also really value reading, at every age. Going to the library is one of my favorite things to do in Portland! I would be happy to help you and yours get to picnicking at local parks with new books in hand. I also firmly believe in sliding scale payments. Your budget should not restrict you from having high quality, compassionate care.

Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

Hi, My name is Yana. I babysat throughout high school and during the summers through university. Babysitting helped lead me to becoming interested in child development, and eventually to becoming a preschool assistant teacher for three years. Being an assistant teacher taught me how to blend patience with authority in order to help and teach a classroom of ten or more students. I helped my coworkers maintain a healthy, fun classroom, and made sure we had a safe environment for all student and staff. Although I have loved teaching, I’d like to move into a more personal child care roll. My intention is to be a helping hand in looking after one or two kids. Additionally, I am an animal lover and would be happy to provide animal care as well.

I love being a mom to 2 girls ages 11 and 18. I am up to date on all vaccines, and first aid/CPR certified, and have had lots of experience driving with car seats,kids. My kids are now back in school so I have lots of time to give to other families who may need help. I’ve nannied in the past for all ages(newborn through middle school). I try to find what sparks curiosity and joy in kids and then help them grow their interests in that subject. I like to engage with them via nature, music, art, cooking, and cultural activities. I’m comfortable being with family pets, helping with household chores when able. I am confident that I can offer you a reliable caring sitter for your child and/or children.

“Elfina has helped care for our kids since they were babies. We have two very active boys and she is so engaging and fun with them. They stay active and they learn so much. She is dependable and our kids love her. We continually ask for her and highly recommend her for caring for your kids.”

"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."
