Ryahmyrh $18 per hour for 1 child

I love all forms of art, I have spent a lot of time drawing, painting, wire wrapping, playing guitar, reading and aerial silks. I grew up in Northern California, and just recently moved to Portland. I love spending time with children, and I very strongly believe in positive reinforcement, helping children to find their passions and artistic expression, as well as attachment based child care, I believe that infants and young children need someone who is emotionally available and attentive to their individual needs.

Tiffany $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! I'm beginning my search for a new nanny position and would love to connect with a great family! I bring 14 years of experience working with several long-term families and am CPR certified. I also have a reliable SUV, making school pickups, outings, and adventures easy and safe. I'm a mom of two: my 2-year-old son joins me during the day, and my 5-year-old daughter is in kindergarten. Both of my children love making new friends and have blended beautifully into past nanny settings. My approach is play-based, hands on, and centered around creating a fun, engaging environment where children can learn through real life experiences. We spend lots of time outdoors, rain or shine (as any Oregon family understands!) exploring parks, nature trails, and staying active. If you think we might be a good fit, I'd love to connect and chat more! 😊

Оry $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ory. I recently moved to Portland, Oregon, and I’m originally from Ukraine. Before moving here, I lived in California, where I gained valuable experience working with children, seniors, and families. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children of different ages. I worked in a daycare, where I helped supervise children, prepared healthy meals, organized activities, and created a safe and positive environment. I’ve also been a babysitter for several families and have cared for children during church events and retreats. I truly love spending time with kids, helping them learn, play, and feel safe and loved. I also have experience caring for seniors. I’m happy to provide companionship, prepare meals, help with grocery shopping and errands, assist with light housekeeping, provide transportation to appointments, or simply be there to make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect. In addition, I have experience as a household assistant and enjoy keeping things organized. I’m happy to help with meal preparation, laundry, tidying up, running errands, and caring for pets. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. Families often describe me as warm, organized, and someone they can truly trust. I always do my best to create a safe, positive, and caring environment for everyone I work with. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming someone you can rely on!

"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."
