As an educated and experienced early childhood professional, I know how to make the most of teachable moments in everyday experiences. I spent my first career working with children and families in various educational settings, with children from birth through the teenage years, and understand the critical development happening during these different stages. Now I work as a family therapist, and I love to provide babysitting services as a way of staying connected to my roots! I enjoy getting to know each child as an individual, and creating the best environment for them. I have worked with children, teens, and young adults with varying needs, including children with autism, Down syndrome, epilepsy, asthma, and moderate to severe behavioral diagnoses. I am comfortable with and trained to administer medications, including epi-pens. I have experience with cloth diapering, baby led weaning, and various parenting styles- it’s important for me to connect with the way you prefer your child to be interacted with.

“Liza is incredible. Our kid, who is a little shy, took to her immediately. She has an amazing energy about her, and clearly loves children. Highly recommend!”

I've worked with kids of all ages, I am infant qualified and know CPR and first aid.

I have been recently laid off from my full time sales job and am searching for full time employment. In the meantime, I am open to working and full, part, or one off opportunities until we both find something that works for all parties! I am a college graduate and my interests include board games, traveling, and quality time with family and friends. I look forward to working with you and your family, making connections as we help the little one(s) grow!

Booked by 2 families in Gladstone, OR

I have experience in several child care areas, including a licensed day care, Sunday school, babysitting, summer camps, tutoring and nannying. I've worked with all different age groups, from infants to teenagers. I am now 25 and have 12 years of various experience! I keep doing what I do because of the love and joy nannying brings to my own life, and the wonderful opportunity it provides me to give it back to the children and families I care for.

“Daisy is wonderful. On time, easy going and the kids love her.”

Hello! My name is Mary and I'm excited to start working with you. I have a BA in English Lit with a minor in French. After graduating college I spent a year in France teaching English to French high schoolers. Before doing that I was a reading tutor and baby sat for many wonderful families, including families with autistic and ADHD sons. I have also worked as a skills coach for developmentally disabled adults and feel comfortable working with kids of different ability levels. My motto as a caregiver is patients, compassion, and most importantly having fun will make everyone's experience great. I am also a professional baker and pastry cook, and love to cook for kids or with them! I've been living in Portland for about 5 years now and I love this beautiful city and all it has to offer. In my spare time I like to go biking with my boyfriend, go on hikes, sketch (mostly flowers and nature stuff), read, and write poetry. I also love superhero movies, cartoons, and photography. I would love to get a chance 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!"
