Booked by 137 families in Oak Grove, OR

About me: My name is Daniella, I'm 40yrs old and I've been babysitting since the age of 13. Although I have a full-time career as an accountant, I still babysit part-time. I think kids are amazing. I love babysitting because it's completely different from what I do on a daily basis. Kids always teach me something new about life or remind me of the great things that I forgot about. I enjoy playing games and reading to kids. I think kids really enjoy it when I read to them because I do all of the voices! In my free time I enjoy painting, and traveling, and I am studying French. Availability: Friday - Sunday evenings. Please see my calendar for up-to-date availability. POLICY: *4 HOUR MINIMUM FRIDAYS - SUNDAYS* *CANCELLATION NOTICE: 48 HOURS. FEE OF 50% TIME BOOKED IF LESS THAN 48 HOURS NOTICE GIVEN*

Hi families, my name is Valentina and I'm 23 years old and I'm from the beautiful country Colombia. I'm studying Foreign Trade because I like to practice English, I'm trying to improve it and I would like to spend time with kids because I think that they're the best teachers! In my free time I love to spend time with my friends and family, also, I love to have time for me and myself just watching TV shows, movies or just resting. I have experience taking care kids because I passed a lot of time with my little sister, my cousins and little neighbors, I took care of them a lot of times and also I did a volunteer in a daycare, I spent a lot of time with babies, I love their innocence and the way that you can win their hearts.

“She played with my kids the whole time and didn’t need any help. We were able to catch up on chores and have enough quiet to work on planning and even go out to lunch together. I highly recommend her and will try to hire her again.”

Booked by 2 families in Oak Grove, OR

I have experience in several child care areas, including a licensed day care, Sunday school, babysitting, summer camps, tutoring and nannying. I've worked with all different age groups, from infants to teenagers. I am now 25 and have 12 years of various experience! I keep doing what I do because of the love and joy nannying brings to my own life, and the wonderful opportunity it provides me to give it back to the children and families I care for.

“Daisy is wonderful. On time, easy going and the kids love her.”

Booked by 10 families in Oak Grove, 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.

Booked by 1 family in Oak Grove, OR

Hello all! My name is Krysta and I'm on the look out for a new family! I've been in childcare for almost 9 years and a private nanny for almost 7 years. I do have a 2.5 year old boy (06/03/2021) who has come along with me since he was 8 weeks old. Before I was a nanny I was a lead at a popular Portland based in-home daycare where I oversaw the care of 16 infants and 3 other workers. Our ratio was 4:1. I have experience with multiples and my last nanny share job was with 4 kiddos- a set of twins, a singleton and my own son, Theo. I love creating long term bonds with children along with their families as I see myself as an extension of them. Some of my skills are as follows: • CPR and first aid trained and in the ORO database, clean driving record with a safe and reliable car. • Supporting children in play activities, meals and snacks, hygiene and socialization. • Assisting with light housekeeping duties as well as running errands. Organization and cleaning up the home after activities by picking up toys and straightening up play rooms. • Building positive and nurturing environments to support child's social and emotional growth. • Preparing tasty and healthy meals for children to encourage good eating habits. • Engaging with children on an age-appropriate level. Balancing playtime to help support development of fine motor, and cognitive skills Getting outside, puddle jumping, singing silly songs, dancing crazy dances, block building, imagination play, arts and crafts are some of my favorite things
