Calling all parents 📞…. Hey 👋 I’m Aspyn, a caring, loving nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience including 6 months abroad as an Aupair in Spain 🇪🇸 I’m CPR certified & have a reliable vehicle with a clean driving record. From outdoor enriching activities that inspire creativity to a more slow placed environment/ whatever is best for your children is my priority. Would love to connect with you and talk about your families needs. 😊

Just fit right in with my kids and my daughter felt like kindred spirits with Aspyn. She cleaned all the dishes after making meals and was very playful while providing care and support.

Hello there, hope this finds you well. Looking for a temp/part time nanny? I may very well be the nanny for you. I am a trained and qualified nanny. My schooling was completed in England, some 20+ years ago, where i completed my NNEB, since then I have worked for numerous families, both here and abroad. Being a nanny is something I enjoy. Guiding and helping children learn and grow through play is extremely rewarding, as is helping parents/families navigate the wonders of parenthood/ work/ life. I have great references. I am currently working for a family in Lake Oswego. These guys I have been working with for the last 16yrs. They have 3 children, who are now all school age. I work all week day afternoons with them, and some school holidays. I am currently looking for temp/ part time work. I have weekday mornings available, some evenings, and weekends. I'll be sure to keep the calendar updated, but feel free to ask if i have availability not shown. What do I do in my free time...spend time with friends. I love hiking, reading, yoga, exploring the coast. Getting to see live music, trying the wonderful food Portland has to offer, and gardening.( currently thinking about the planting plan for said garden) I also like to plan a trip back to England every other year. If that doesn't happen, then Hawaii is never far from my mind. Ps, not sure where the senior care came from, but I am not proficient in that field. Just letting you know. Thanks.

I previously worked as a preschool teacher at a Waldorf school. Kids are fun, wise, and inspire me to be imaginative and creative, and that's why I love working with them. Safety, patience, and creativity are what feel sparkly and important to me when I'm watching your children.

My childcare journey began at 12, babysitting in my church nursery, but it was my younger brother’s birth when I was 13 that truly ignited my passion for caring for little ones. Helping raise him next to a hard working single mother showed me how much I love nurturing and guiding children through their early years. Since then, I’ve gained over ten years of experience as a nanny, overnight caregiver, home manager, and preschool teacher. I’ve also worked as a professionally trained doula, further deepening my understanding of child development and family support. I’m also an active person and grew up participating in team sports, including soccer and swim team, which taught me the value of energy, focus, and teamwork—qualities I bring to my caregiving. I love creating fun, engaging moments to help kids learn, grow, and explore their world. With confidence, patience, and a second nature for childcare, I’m here to provide your little ones with exceptional care and attention.

Booked by 2 families in Lake Oswego, OR

Hello, I’m Ivory! I am an independent college student, I just graduated 2025 at PSU with a bachelor of fine arts! I have taken 4 years of Spanish and would be happy to share basic Spanish vocabulary! I love drawing, painting, ceramics, and am working 7 years so far as a part time ice cream cake decorator. In my free time I enjoy singing, working out, and playing games with friends! I have experience babysitting my 3 nephews, and working with kids at church. I babysat for a girl 5 y/o girl until she was 7 y/o in the mornings getting ready for school with the occasional pickup from school. . I occasionally babysit a nonverbal 4y/o boy with autism since he was 1 year old. I’ve currently been babysitting a 3 year old girl on Saturdays for the last year! I have pet sitting experience too for dogs, cats, fish, and farm animals (I adore my cat Toulouse), I’ve been pet sitting my sisters golden doodle puppy occasionally. I love teaching kids new things and sharing what I’ve learned with them. I’m looking to save more money while doing something that I enjoy! (A bonus is I love cleaning/organizing too and would be happy to help with that!)

I hired Ivory for ongoing and occasional babysitting for my daughter who is 6. She has been very helpful and kind. She was willing and ready to help with little things that make life so much easier for me as a single parent and make transitions smoother for my daughter.
