Find a babysitter in Portland, OR

I have been a nanny and youth educator for over 10 years. Working with children of a variety of ages — 3 months to 15 years. My specialty is creativity and nature connection. I bring a sense of adventure and place and compassionate care for social emotional skills to my work. I take my job seriously, and because of my life as an educator I like to make any mundane day an event with an opportunity for learning and bonding. Professionally I teach drama, creativity, outdoor education for youth, and I guide a therapeutic embodiment practice for adults. I also work in the creative field as a performing artist and on all sides of event production. Because of this I marked weekend evenings as not generally available, however I am flexible at this time and will adjust for the right family! Finally, I am good at organizing and cleaning up a space. I am currently on the market for a car and could then run errands, etc.

I’m a patient, warm, and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, and households alike. As a mom to a toddler myself, I understand firsthand what it takes to nurture and care for little ones. I spent 10 years caring for my grandparents, and 4 years working at an orphanage in Mexico, caring for children in a home setting. I also keep households running smoothly through cooking, cleaning, and errands. Families trust me because I’m organized, dependable, and genuinely care about the people I look after, treating each home like my own.

Hello! My name is Ericka! I am looking for weekend gigs cuz this economy? Whew chile! Mon- Fri, I work at a child care center. My cohort are just starting to turn two! I’ve been with this cohort for about 18 months. My youngest started at 7 weeks!!! I started child care back when I was 16 and worked for about 10 years before switching careers. I worked as a bus driver for quite awhile! A couple years back, I left Trimet to come back to my true love (despite the wage). I’m REALLY familiar with 3 and under, but love older kiddos too! I’ve worked with 10 yrs and under in a professional child care setting and done some babysitting for 11 and 12s. Pet wise, I’m not terribly familiar or comfortable with snakes, but as long as I don’t have to hold or feed one, them just existing isn’t a problem. I have a small dog named Georgie. I love going for walks, swimming, parks, child friendly spaces, movies, music, books, etc. As a current child care worker, I have my cpr and first aid cert., food handlers card. Any other questions, don’t be shy!
