Elena $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Elena (I go by Ellie!)and I’m coming up on my 5th year in childcare. I have worked as a preschool teacher for two years and a (wobbler) daycare lead teacher for almost 3 years, as well as babysitting for families I connect with through my teaching. My passion is early childhood education and individualized care, I am always working towards learning more and training. I am CPR certified, have trained specifically for safe sleep, food handlers, and about to be a step six on the Oregon step registry. I am about halfway towards my CDA certification as well! I love to make art and music, hang out with my dog and learn random facts about whatever interests me at the moment! I’m a California transplant four years out and I’m still getting used to Portland fall and winter! 🌧️❄️

Devin $20 per hour for 1 child

I have worked in the health and wellness field for over 19 years and am a proud parent of 8-year-old twins. Caring for others has always been a central part of my life — both professionally and personally. I have supported several elderly family members over the years and understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care. I enjoy creating engaging, enriching environments for children through outdoor activities like nature walks and hikes, as well as board games, puzzles, music, and arts and crafts. I hold an undergraduate degree in music and love incorporating singing and simple instruments into playtime. Cooking is another passion of mine, and I enjoy preparing healthy snacks and involving children in simple meal preparation to build confidence and life skills. I am also a lifelong animal lover. My first job at 16 was working at a veterinary clinic kennel, and I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I am attentive, responsible, and genuinely enthusiastic about animal care. I am currently working part-time and am seeking caregiving opportunities to support families, seniors, and pets with dependable, compassionate care.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 53 families in La Center, WA

Hi there! I have a bachelors in both English and Social Justice from Dominican University of California, and am currently a JD Candidate at Lewis &Clark Law School. I grew up watching my siblings before moving on to paid jobs with family friends and cousins, and when I started college I started nannying more seriously. When I lived in LA, I worked with several different families for small weekly jobs and worked with one family four to five days a week, taking their four kids to numerous activities and after school events. Since moving to Portland two years ago, I spent the last year and a half nannying for a family with 10 year old twins. I have experience working with infants up to 12 years old, and after tutoring high school kids I’m sure I could handle teenagers as well. Let me know if I can answer any questions, I can’t wait to work with you!

"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."
