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 childcare journey began at 12, babysitting in my church nursery, but it was my younger brother’s birth when I was 13 that truly ignited my passion for caring for little ones. Helping raise him next to a hard working single mother showed me how much I love nurturing and guiding children through their early years. Since then, I’ve gained over ten years of experience as a nanny, overnight caregiver, home manager, and preschool teacher. I’ve also worked as a professionally trained doula, further deepening my understanding of child development and family support. I’m also an active person and grew up participating in team sports, including soccer and swim team, which taught me the value of energy, focus, and teamwork—qualities I bring to my caregiving. I love creating fun, engaging moments to help kids learn, grow, and explore their world. With confidence, patience, and a second nature for childcare, I’m here to provide your little ones with exceptional care and attention.
Hello, I have over 13 years experience in caregiving both with the elderly and children. I had been a nanny for multiple families. I have 3 nieces ranging in ages from 10 to 21 and continue to be an integral part of their upbringing. The last family I nannied for I was with for over 5 years. We are still very much in contact & I see them at least once a month for family dinner. I pride myself on my communication skills & I am great with children of all ages. I am a proud pet owner of a 16 year old dog, we’ve been together for 12 years and she is still very healthy and very happy!
“I have strong experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I am patient, trustworthy, and enjoy helping others. I am skilled in cooking healthy meals, cleaning, organizing, and driving. Families can count on me to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment every day.”
Hi, I’m Carissa! I have a genuine love for working with children and bring a calm, caring energy to every babysitting job. With experience as a preschool teacher’s assistant, I’m comfortable with all kinds of routines—from playtime and learning activities to snacks and naps. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on creating a positive and safe space for kids to be themselves.

"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!"
