Find a babysitter in Fairview, OR

Hello! My name is Mary and I'm excited to start working with you. I have a BA in English Lit with a minor in French. After graduating college I spent a year in France teaching English to French high schoolers. Before doing that I was a reading tutor and baby sat for many wonderful families, including families with autistic and ADHD sons. I have also worked as a skills coach for developmentally disabled adults and feel comfortable working with kids of different ability levels. My motto as a caregiver is patients, compassion, and most importantly having fun will make everyone's experience great. I am also a professional baker and pastry cook, and love to cook for kids or with them! I've been living in Portland for about 5 years now and I love this beautiful city and all it has to offer. In my spare time I like to go biking with my boyfriend, go on hikes, sketch (mostly flowers and nature stuff), read, and write poetry. I also love superhero movies, cartoons, and photography. I would love to get a chance to get to know your family.

Hi there! I'm Sophia, and I'm a junior at PSU (age 23) studying environmental studies and child & family studies. I'm a lifelong Portlander, and am hoping to enter the outdoor education field after college. I've been babysitting for 10 years now, caring for children ages 3 months to 12 years. I also have experience as a daycare teacher (8 months at My Bundle of Joy in NE Portland), nanny, tutor, and camp counselor. I'm energetic, creative and attentive, and I really do love kids. I would love to do art, read, dance/sing, cook, go on walks, visit the library, or go on outdoor adventures with your kiddo(s)! I'm certified in Pediatric First Aid & CPR, and enrolled in Oregon's Central Background Registry. I do have a driver's license, but I do not have a car. I'm happy to do pick-ups/drop-offs and any other outings with your own car, on foot, via public transportation, or even on bike! *** 1/11/26 I’m back on Urban Sitter after a few years, so that’s why my reviews are not recent, but I’ve continued to do plenty of consistent childcare in the meantime. I’m happy to provide more recent references if you’d like :)

Hello, there! I’m Mia! My experience with children started young, being the oldest of a large family! I also have worked as a nanny for a variety of families in the past and always enjoyed my time! I take a more “screen-free” approach to my time with your children (arts and crafts, anyone?). I am a creative person myself so I enjoy drawing and painting, building blocks and reading! Also open to whatever works with your unique family’s needs. I have experience pet sitting and dog walking and am comfortable with dogs, cats, lizards and other kinds of small animals!

I have a flexible schedule, working from home on my own eCommerce website. I was a nanny for many years - the children I cared for are now grown, and I thought I would once again offer my services to parents in my area needing occasional reliable, competent childcare. I have many years of experience caring for children from infants through elementary school. I am a former toy-store employee who knows how to PLAY with toys! I have a fun, youthful spirit, a great sense of humor, and I enjoy being around kids. Hoping to hear from you!

I am a mother of 7 and a youthful grandmother of many. My children were in the regular education system for several years, and then were homeschooled while we traveled. At university I majored in economics, law and divinity. I have worked in higher levels of the civil service, in private business and in the healing arts. I have also provided executive protection for the families of well known people at festivals and concerts. In my current semi-retirement, I enjoy nature, hiking, cultural events, and social media. At UrbanSitter, I am mainly interested in short term assignments - movie nights, vacation help, children or adults recovering from illnesses or accidents, children needing brief tutoring or emotional support, and helping busy parents cope with the unexpected hurdles life sometimes throws when we're raising children. I am happy to help you and your family with whatever it is that you need at the moment, and I look forward to meeting all of you. Let's together find a creative solution for the current situation. .
