Find a babysitter in Portland, OR

Hi! I’m Kira, a dependable and caring sitter with professional experience working with children of a variety of ages and needs. I’m currently a graduate student in Applied Behavior Analysis and work in pediatric ABA, where I support children with communication, social skills, play, routines, and daily activities. I’m especially comfortable with little ones and really enjoy working with children ages 3–6. I love creating fun and whimsical activities, whether that’s arts and crafts, playing games, reading, imaginative play, or simply joining in on whatever your child is excited about. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy creating a fun and comfortable environment where kids can be themselves. I’m happy to help with playtime, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, simple meals, bedtime routines, and cleanup. I’m also comfortable following individual routines and instructions from parents, and I’m CPR certified. My goal is always for children to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely have a good time while they’re with me. I’m responsible, communicative, and will treat your home and your family with the same respect I’d want for my own.

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.

My name is Darci Phenix and I look forward to supporting you with caring for your family. I have a BA in psychology, work at a local preschool and spent the summer volunteering with Store to Door, a nonprofit that gets groceries to elder folks who struggle to get out of the house. I am compassionate, patient, present and creative. I enjoy brining all of these qualities into my work.
