About me: CPR, First- Aid and Food Handlers certified 19 years old and studies @ PCC I have worked professionally with ages as young as 12 weeks up to 5 years old and I’m also happy to care for children older than that. It truly is my absolute goal to ensure a loving and safe environment for each kid. I am more than open to finding a family to work with consistently!
I’m a responsible and caring person with camp counselor experience! I think children deserve to be heard, and their needs met. I am a relaxed stabilizing presence for my campers, and am good at turning any situation into a positive experience. Positive forms of learning and personal connection matter a lot to me. Additionally I have experience with Nero divergent (OCD and On the spectrum) children. I am watchful and entertaining for the young ones! I am mostly used to managing larger groups of campers, but my best moments have always been with smaller groups or individual campers, listening to feelings and resolving problems! I've done care for younger children ages less than 1 - 3 for relatives outside of my camp experience. I think what matter's most at that age is fostering a secure relationship with the outside world, and I am frankly just fascinated to watch them learn! Please let me know if I could help your family! I am fully vaccinated and boosted. LGBT families are welcome, I am LGBT!
Hello, looking for a babysitter? I have extensive experience working with kids ages 5 (potty trained) thru 16. I love cleaning/organizing, playing with pets, cooking with a focus on healthy and quick meals, and tutoring in subjects up to high school Algebra, college Biology, Chemistry, and English. I am also proficient in Mandarin Chinese. I love reading books to kids and engaging them with physical activity and proactive learning opportunities. I have a can provide school drop-off, pickup and any other transportation needs that you may require. I hope to become a reliable support for you and your family! NOTE: I AM FULLY VACCINATED AND BOOSTED AND HAVE HAD A SEASONAL FLU SHOT (DECEMBER 2025) I WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC AREAS OF HIGH TRANSMISSION A little about me... I grew up with little siblings (now aged 19 and 21). My work experience includes - Tutoring/mentoring at the middle school, high school, and college level - AmeriCorps Member at the UofA Cooperative Extension Family Engagement Program - Creating programming for OHSU high school interns I love the wide-eyed enthusiasm young students bring to my daily work! In my free time, I enjoy watching dramas and romcoms, hiking, camping, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.
Howdy! My name is Tim and I'm thrilled at the opportunity to work with you and your child(ren). I was born in Central Oregon and have lived in Portland for about 12 years (with a few stints in North Carolina. I graduated from Lewis & Clark College in 2012 with a degree in Rhetoric & Media Studies and a minor in Art/Art History. I have worked with children in many capacities throughout the years. Starting when I was 15 as a sitter to two toddlers, I have worn many hats since then. From swim instructor to recess coach, to 2nd grade teacher to Montessori PE teacher, I love finding joy and celebrating it! Currently I work as Assistant Dean of Admission at Reed College, but I will be leaving my job soon to begin school at PSU for a Masters in Sustainability Education. In my personal time, I love hanging out with my partner Anna and our dog Otter, playing my guitar in one of my loud rock bands, finding new hiking trails throughout Oregon, and searching for the next best sandwich to share!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
Laura F., mom of two
