Hannah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’m a senior nursing student at George Fox University. I’ve been caring for children of all ages for the past 7 years, and I’m passionate about child development, safety, and creating a fun, nurturing environment where children can learn and thrive. I’m CPR and BLS certified for adults and pediatrics, and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. I’m a strong student and would love to help with homework, encourage learning, and find engaging, age-appropriate activities for children. I’m also a great cook and happy to help with meal preparation, tidying up, laundry, and maintaining a clean, organized home. I understand how busy family life can get, and I enjoy being a dependable extra set of hands that parents can trust. Beyond childcare, I have experience in senior care and caring for a wide variety of animals, including large and small dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, and snakes. I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and routines, and I approach every responsibility with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I’m dependable, organized, proactive, and caring. My nursing education has strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, and ability to stay attentive to others’ needs. Above all, I want the families I work with to feel comfortable knowing their loved ones and homes are in good hands. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted, reliable part of your family’s support system!

Michelle $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I have time in my schedule to help you and your family if you would like to reach out. I would be happy to fill in on short notice also. I have volunteered within children's ministries and am an Oregon Humane animal shelter volunteer. I am also going to be volunteering within the Lake Oswego School District. I work for a college M-F so am mostly available on the weekend. I graduated from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Science and rode on the Dressage Team while I was a student. Later I earned my MBA while working full time. I have family in the area that I like to spend time with. I also enjoy the outdoors, school and learning new things. Hope to hear from you!

I am a Portland State University graduate with a bachelors of arts in Social Science, minor in psychology and Spanish. I have worked as a Girl Scouts summer activities leader for 23 girls grades first-fourth. As an activities leader, I facilitated science, art and life skills/healthy living. I love creating safe spaces for children to express themselves and be creative. I am a very family oriented person. I am the oldest of three and have spent a lot of my time helping my family raise the small ones in our family. I am currently only available Friday afternoons and weekends. I look forward to getting to know you and meeting your family!

“Karen was communicative, prompt and professional. My kids liked her and said they would want her to babysit again.”
