I'm a former high school teacher and most recently worked as a nanny for two children. I focus on providing a caring and creative environment for children. Painting, reading and making meals/snacks are some of the activities they seem to like the most. I believe children should be encouraged to explore the world around them and have fun!
I have a Bachelor's education in Human Development Psychology. Previous Montessori & early childhood experience. I spent the last decade doing social work with all ages in the community. I have skills to offer caregiving and practical life improvement assistance to folks of any age.
I’m a responsible and caring person with camp counselor experience! I think children deserve to be heard, and their needs met. I am a relaxed stabilizing presence for my campers, and am good at turning any situation into a positive experience. Positive forms of learning and personal connection matter a lot to me. Additionally I have experience with Nero divergent (OCD and On the spectrum) children. I am watchful and entertaining for the young ones! I am mostly used to managing larger groups of campers, but my best moments have always been with smaller groups or individual campers, listening to feelings and resolving problems! I've done care for younger children ages less than 1 - 3 for relatives outside of my camp experience. I think what matter's most at that age is fostering a secure relationship with the outside world, and I am frankly just fascinated to watch them learn! Please let me know if I could help your family! I am fully vaccinated and boosted. LGBT families are welcome, I am LGBT!
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! :)
hi there! I'm Erin. I'm a Portland State University graduate with a BA in Sociology and a minor in criminology. I'm from Washington, Illinois and Pennsylvania! I've been a teacher at Little Vikings Daycare for the last 2 years and I now work part time retail in addition to nannying! I was a roller derby team coach, and the president of my theatre club! I love working with children and I'm a great leader and speaker. I'm comfortable with animals and sitting in an urban environment! Im looking forward to getting to know you!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
Laura F., mom of two
