Calling all parents 📞…. Hey 👋 I’m Aspyn, a caring, loving nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience including 6 months abroad as an Aupair in Spain 🇪🇸 I’m CPR certified & have a reliable vehicle with a clean driving record. From outdoor enriching activities that inspire creativity to a more slow placed environment/ whatever is best for your children is my priority. Would love to connect with you and talk about your families needs. 😊
“Just fit right in with my kids and my daughter felt like kindred spirits with Aspyn. She cleaned all the dishes after making meals and was very playful while providing care and support.”
Hi! My name is Hanna. I’m a graduate college student with a degree in English, currently living in Northeast Portland. I come from a big, loving family with four rowdy brothers, so I’m no stranger to energetic households! My childcare experience began in high school, where I spent my junior and senior years nannying a toddler with fetal alcohol syndrome. It was some of the most challenging, yet rewarding, work I’ve ever done. Since then, I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to middle schoolers. At my local church, I’ve volunteered in nursery care, taught classes, and mentored middle school students over the years. I also worked closely with special needs students in high school—participating in P.E. classes, supporting talent shows, and building strong, inclusive friendships. Currently, I work as a substitute teacher and also as a barista at Starbucks, where I love greeting people with a smile and helping make their day a little brighter. As a mom myself, I know how important it is to create a safe, nurturing environment. I’m available for babysitting during the summertime and on weekends. I look forward to connecting with families in need of dependable, experienced care.
A nanny working for one family looking to share with another young family. The family lives in the Richmond neighborhood of SE and consists of two boys ages 4 (soon to be five) and 7. They are watched by the nanny during the workweek, roughly 4 hours, five days a week. The four year old will be starting kindergarten this coming Friday and the 7 year old started second grade this week! Some of the things the boys love are, going for walks to the park, legos, reading books, science projects, baking, making art and building. Mom works from home so can help out in an emergency. Family can host part or all the time. Hi! My name is Kristin and I have worked in education for almost 20 years. I worked with teens and adults with hearing and sight disabilities at Perkins School for the Blind, in Boston for 8 years before moving to Portland 9 years ago. I have worked at a small Charter School for 8 years where I created and directed an aftercare arts program and then worked as an educational assistant for the school, mostly in the K-1 classrooms. I have worked at a Montessori school with toddlers and infants. I have been nannying for four years and have experience with children from 6 months old to 7 years old! I am a fun, silly and creative person who loves being outside, gardening, animals, cooking and painting. I am passionate about education and creating a safe and loving space for children and adults to learn and grow.
“I have worked with Kristin for 6 years. She is a kind, caring and compassionate person who loves working with children. And children adore her. She appreciates each child's uniqueness and has a special ability to connect with them. Kristin adapts quickly to differing needs and situations with a positive attitude. I have witnessed her working with everyone from individual children to groups or classrooms of students. Kristin is an artist who uses her love of the arts to teach and engage others through various mediums. She loves to have fun, whether it is dancing with kids, playing games or as simple as getting totally engaged reading a book to them. The way in which Kristin engages with children, any family would be lucky to have their children spending time with her. In the words of a former student "she treats everyone like family."”
My name is Ghena I am working on my associates degree in PCC. I am offering childcare, senior care. I’m a preschool teacher. I love children and I’m very passionate about children and teaching them and being there for them. I worked as a babysitter For 2 years. I created a safe and nurturing childcare environment. I communicated with parents to understand each child's specific needs and desires. I have experience with seniors I lived with my grandparents and took care of them. I can drive seniors to appointments.
“She’s is really organized and very good at communicating when I reach out about scheduling. She’s does a really great job at taking care of my grandparents. They love having her around. She’s very friendly and very reliable. Totally recommend her if anyone’s need a caregiver”
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.
“Indigo was the undisputed favorite babysitter of my twins when they were in early elementary school. Indigo was reliable, responsible and a great communicator with me. I knew that my kids would be safe and well-cared for when I left them with Indigo. But what really set Indigo apart was her creativity and obvious enjoyment spending time with kids. My kids really had fun when they spent an evening or an entire day with Indigo. They still play some of the games Indigo taught them and howl with laughter. I’d hire Indigo again in a heartbeat.”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
