I grew up caring for a lot of my younger cousins, so I know how to handle chaos. I find kiddos to be very intresting little people, and love the times I get to spend with them. I would love to help be a support in kids' lives that I knew I needed when I was younger. I live with three dogs and two cats, and in the past I've cared for guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, and lizards. No animal is too much for me to handle. I love them and I love being around them!
22-year-old recent Washington State University business graduate and oldest of five boys with years of hands-on experience caring for toddlers through teens. CPR/First Aid certified, clean record, active, reliable, and happy to engage in any activities kids enjoy.
I am a mother of 2 adult kids and grandmother of 3 girls under the age of 4. I am a dog, cat and fish owner. I love children, kids, seniors, pets and just about everything. Helping others is what I love to do and will have a smile on my face.
My life's work has always been working with children. I have worked as a preschool teacher (both for infants and toddlers), elementary school teacher, nanny, tutor, and mentor. Additionally, I've volunteered in many capacities involving children, including working with children in foster care and in precarious living situations requiring compassionate outreach. My experience includes working with differently abled children, both physically and/or mentally. I have extensive experience with autism, ADHD, and generalized learning/communication diagnoses that require special attentiveness and flexibility to every child's needs. This experience has given me many strategies for supporting children's socio-emotional and/or academic learning. My passion in working with children lies in my innate belief that children crave age-appropriate autonomy, consistency with boundaries and communication, and adults who are responsive and able to flexibly adapt to children's needs. I love to play! I lead with humor and curiosity, which helps children feel safe and seen from the start. I love to sing, play guitar, write, draw, and create/participate in sensory-seeking experiences. I find true joy in watching children develop their confidence and sense of self, and consider it a privilege to facilitate these life skills by building relational trust with children and their families. Additionally, most of my experience that has taken place outside of non-academic settings has entailed house-cleaning, shopping and cooking, transportation, pet care (mostly dogs and cats), and house/pet-sitting when needed. When I work in a family's home, my goal is to integrate care for the space and each family's overall needs with caregiving itself. I find these are intertwined more often than not! I enjoy helping in any way I can.
“Elizabeth was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and our toddler loved having her around. Will definitely hire her again.”
Hi I’m Andrea! I am 27 and currently live in the Portland area. I have been baby sitting for the past several years and really enjoy the time I get to spend with kids! I have worked with the tutoring agency Kumon when I was a student at PSU and tutored kids from ages 2-10. I am also very comfortable with animals and have grown up with pets since I was a little girl and love to spend time in the sun outside!
“Andrea was sweet and kind to my 4 kids. She played with them, and they had a fun day! We recommend her!”

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
