Find a babysitter in Portland, OR

I’m a childcare professional with more than 20 years of experience caring for children in a variety of settings, including schools, childcare programs and private homes. I’ve worked with children of different ages and developmental stages and have extensive experience creating safe, nurturing and engaging environments where children can learn, play and be themselves. I’m dependable, patient, attentive and genuinely enjoy getting to know the children in my care. I’m also someone who understands that every child and every family is different. I pride myself on paying attention to routines, personalities and individual needs. My years of experience have also taught me how to remain calm and resourceful when things don't go according to plan. Beyond childcare, I have experience with house and pet sitting and appreciate the trust that comes with being responsible for someone’s home while they are away. I am comfortable caring for pets and making sure that they and the home are cared for as the owner would expect. I’m naturally observant, organized and responsible. I love reading, music, film, tv and finding ways to make ordinary days fun and memorable for children. I also bring a strong sense of humor, good communication skills and the ability to connect with people and animals easily. After more than two decades working with children and families, I don’t take the responsibility lightly. When someone trusts me with their child, pet or home, I treat that trust with the same care and respect that I would want for my own.

Hi! I’m a therapist who works with tween/teen girls and I recently moved to Portland. I love spending time with girls ages 6–18 and am available for after-school or before school rides, homework structure support, and evening help. My speciality is mentoring and supporting girls in their emotional development, friendship world, regulation, and self confidence! Before becoming a therapist, I nannied for many families and have a lot of experience working with children and teenagers, supporting families and am still in touch with many of them! I’m not looking for full-time nannying but would love to support local families here and there or find a weekly position with a smaller amount of hours. Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

I have over 10 years experience working with children. I am currently a Teacher’s Aide in a 2nd grade classroom, and this is my second year doing so. I have 7 years of summer camp experience and 2 years on leadership of summer camps. I have tutored, housesat and pet sat in between the aforementioned experience. I nannied March 2020-August 2020 everyday for a family and continued a working relationship with them through the summers following 2020. I am compassionate, caring, loyal, trustworthy and resilient. I have worked with kids 6 months old to kids who are 14. In college I served as a new student peer mentor for 2 school years which meant checking in with students their first and second years of college and they always knew they could come to me if they needed anything. I also served for 3 school years as a peer support facilitator, holding space for those to come and talk and offering advice as well as getting advice and connection for my own life.
