Hello there! :) My name is Daria, I am currently a senior at GFU nursing program. I am offering childcare and household services. I have experience working with children of various ages in summer camps and being a nanny since I was 17 years old. I enjoy playing with children, doing crafts, getting outside and tutoring! I can also help around the house, cook and drive to places, if needed! Looking forward to work with you!
I'm Haley, a 21-year-old originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico, now calling Portland home while I finish my senior year at Lewis and Clark College. I’m studying International Relations and Hispanic Studies and love exploring new cultures and ideas. Babysitting is the perfect way for me to stay balanced during this busy year, while also doing something I truly enjoy. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, starting with families in my neighborhood, and it’s been a big part of my life ever since. Whether it’s after-school care, weekend fun, or much-needed date nights for parents, I love jumping in to help. Two summers ago, I had the amazing experience of being a full-time nanny for two sweet girls, ages 7 and 9. More recently, I’ve taken care of kids from 9 months old to school age, so I’m comfortable with children at all stages. In addition to childcare, I’ve done plenty of pet sitting and house sitting too! I’d describe myself as fun-loving, responsible, and reliable, and I always look forward to building connections and friendships with the kids I care for as I figure out my own path into adulthood. If you’re looking for a sitter who brings both a sense of responsibility and fun, I’d love to be that person for your family. I have my own car and live in a pretty accessible area of Portland, so don't hesitate to reach out!
Focused on fun & compassion! I've cared for and worked with children and youth from zero to 20yrs as a caregiver, skill builder, adventure leader, teacher, ally and confidant. Experienced & supportive of people in multiple expressions of neurodiversity & disability. Willing to help develop authentic personal accommodations. I left the corporate world 2 years ago to refocus on what is beautiful and important in this world. Human relationships, appreciation of the natural world, building compassion & strengthening communities in our urban environment.

"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!"
