Nina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Nina! I live in Portland Oregon and have been working in childcare/ early childhood education for over 10 years! I have nannied for multiples, infants and was a lead teacher at a top rated preschool in Oregon. I work remotely as a Director of that preschool now and babysit as well! I am a great multi taker and love finding ways to peak little ones curiosity by providing a safe and nurturing environment full of opportunities for enrichment and exploration! Whether that means a “color walk” through the park, working together to cook a yummy lunch or reading together at the local library - I am always looking for ways to incorporate a love for learning! I am first aid certified and have over 100 hours of certified continued early childhood education training! Working with families is my favorite - I am happy to help run errands, do light cleaning and meal prep! Let me know if you (or your little one) have any questions 😊

Brikel $25 per hour for 1 child

I absolutely love children! I grew up helping care for younger siblings and went on to study human development in college. I graduated with an emphasis in family studies and learned a lot about child development. I worked as a preschool teacher in Southern Utah before spending two years abroad as an English teacher to children ages 2-12. I have volunteered with children in a Chinese orphanage and worked with children in a number of different capacities. I recently went back to school and I am a full time student right now. I love arts and crafts, dancing, animals, and anything outdoors. I adore spending my days with little ones and helping them explore the world.

Diliana $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lake Oswego, OR

Hello families! My name is Diliana, and I’m an experienced caregiver with over 10 years in early childhood education. My background includes working as a Montessori educator, nanny, school director, and foster care sitter. I specialize in caring for infants through age 6, and especially enjoy working with younger children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, highly organized, dependable, and happy to support families with light household chores during nap or bedtime. In addition to childcare, I’m also open to exploring household manager roles for the right family. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and knowledgeable caregiver who truly understands early childhood development, I’d love to connect with you and your family.

Declan $15 per hour for 1 child

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!
