Charlie Portland
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Charlie! I’ve lived in Portland for about 3 years now, but I am originally from Massachusetts. I am currently a senior psychology student at Reed College and I am planning to go to medical school post-grad. I have worked with kids of many ages, either through volunteering with schools (tutoring), or looking after family members and children of close family friends. I plan to work with kids in behavioral analyst positions, too, once I finish my undergrad degree. I am also taking some art courses and American Sign Language this summer; I love crafting, making art, and learning new things. In my free time I play music and sing. I unfortunately do not have a car or a driver’s license, but do plan on getting my license sometime this summer. I would call myself a very responsible, innovative, and caring person. I am also very attentive to detail, as as well as being CPR certified! Looking forward to working with you and your little ones to make sure you know they are taken care of when you are not able to be home (or just want to take a night off!) I have housekeeping experience, cooking experience (I worked for a private chef in the hamptons for a little while), cleaning experience, pet care experience, and senior care experience. Please let me know if any of these services would be additionally helpful to you!!

Michael Portland
$25 per hour for 1 child

Welcome — my name is Michael! I’m an educator, parent, and lifelong caregiver with over 25 years of experience working with children, seniors, plants, and cats. I hold a master’s degree in Public Administration and completed all coursework for a master’s in the Art of Teaching. Over the years, I’ve raised five children and numerous godchildren, coached youth sports, and led art, tutoring, and community programs that center creativity and care. I love the outdoors, plants, cooking, music, and meditation — and I bring that same balance and joy into the homes I support. Families describe me as calm, reliable, and nurturing, with a structured yet easygoing approach that helps everyone feel at ease. I’m happy to cook and do light cleaning, but I’m not a housekeeper — no deep cleaning. I’m great with cats and plants, and I’m still working on overcoming my fear of dogs. I look forward to connecting with families who value kindness, growth, and good energy in their home.

Booked by 2 families in Colton, OR

Hello! I have been working with children for over 15 years! My first job in high school was as a nanny and tutor, and I then went on to be an instructor and program director on Catalina Island. Here instructed kids from 3rd grade - 12th grade in Biology and History in accordance with the California State Curriculum. Afterwards I got my degree in Teaching and History from Azusa Pacific University where I logged over 200 hours of in-class experience. After college I worked as a nanny and tutor in California, Madrid, London, and Australia for children aged 0 - 21 (with special needs). I have experience working with families of all different backgrounds and languages, as well as tutoring kids with learning disabilities and special needs (specifically Autism and Dyslexia). I am very active and like to take kids on walks, to the zoo, to the park, and play lots of games. I am currently in the process of applying to Graduate School for teaching so that I can further my work with children. If you have any questions, please reach out to me! I can't wait to get to know your family!

"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!"
