Find a babysitter in Portland, OR

Hi I’m Andrea! I am 27 and currently live in the Portland area. I have been baby sitting for the past several years and really enjoy the time I get to spend with kids! I have worked with the tutoring agency Kumon when I was a student at PSU and tutored kids from ages 2-10. I am also very comfortable with animals and have grown up with pets since I was a little girl and love to spend time in the sun outside!

Hello, there! I’m Mia! My experience with children started young, being the oldest of a large family! I also have worked as a nanny for a variety of families in the past and always enjoyed my time! I take a more “screen-free” approach to my time with your children (arts and crafts, anyone?). I am a creative person myself so I enjoy drawing and painting, building blocks and reading! Also open to whatever works with your unique family’s needs. I have experience pet sitting and dog walking and am comfortable with dogs, cats, lizards and other kinds of small animals!

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.

Status: Currently accepting not jobs A few things to note: -I generally try not to book more than a month out at a time to avoid potential cancellations. Thank you for your understanding! -If you can -- booking via the site instead of text is easier for me to track. -I offer petsitting and housesitting and can pass along specific references for those services as well. Thank you! ———————————————— Now (a lot!) more about me -- Experience: I'm fully vaccinated (Covid + rest) with over 14 years of experience with ages ranging from 2 months - 13+ years. I am *currently* a part-time substitute teacher in the greater Portland area. I've fulfilled a number of roles over the years, including full-time nanny, part-time sitter, a date night sitter, and personal assistant to the family. I have experience with full-time infant-care (transitioning to solid foods, preparing formula, etc), as well as balancing the routines of multiple children at once. I have been the "first babysitter" for kids with a range of ages, including baby, toddler, and early elementary. Skills/schoolwork: In addition to teaching, I have a background in elementary (basic math, spelling) and high school-level tutoring (grammar and algebra), both through private employment & volunteer work. I'm also familiar with how to adapt lesson plans to suit different needs (specifically dyslexia and ADHD). Activities: I love non-media based activities such as board games, arts and crafts, drawing, reading, and sports, but I never shy away from a good movie night! I also enjoy anything outdoors or active (parks, hiking, biking, museums, libraries, etc.). Growing up I was a theater kid who played softball and lacrosse — probably another skill or two to mine in there somewhere :) Additional: In my spare time, I'm likely backpacking, traveling, or attempting to catch up on the never-ending list of books, movies, and shows that I'm behind on. I also volunteer with WaterDropLA (mutual aid on Skid Row) and WriteGirl (weekly mentoring, assisting seniors with post-grad guidance/college apps).

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.
