Find an emergency babysitter in Happy Valley, OR

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.

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.

Hi there! I'm Sophia, and I'm a junior at PSU (age 23) studying environmental studies and child & family studies. I'm a lifelong Portlander, and am hoping to enter the outdoor education field after college. I've been babysitting for 10 years now, caring for children ages 3 months to 12 years. I also have experience as a daycare teacher (8 months at My Bundle of Joy in NE Portland), nanny, tutor, and camp counselor. I'm energetic, creative and attentive, and I really do love kids. I would love to do art, read, dance/sing, cook, go on walks, visit the library, or go on outdoor adventures with your kiddo(s)! I'm certified in Pediatric First Aid & CPR, and enrolled in Oregon's Central Background Registry. I do have a driver's license, but I do not have a car. I'm happy to do pick-ups/drop-offs and any other outings with your own car, on foot, via public transportation, or even on bike! *** 1/11/26 I’m back on Urban Sitter after a few years, so that’s why my reviews are not recent, but I’ve continued to do plenty of consistent childcare in the meantime. I’m happy to provide more recent references if you’d like :)

Hi, my name is Hannah and I love working with kids! I have over 17 years of collective experience in a variety of different child care positions, including summer camps, babysitting, and nannying. I previously worked as a preschool teacher at a Waldorf school. Kids are fun, wise, and inspire me to be imaginative and creative, and that's why I love working with them. Safety, patience, and creativity are what feel sparkly and important to me when I'm watching your children. I have a Master's degree in urban planning and am currently undergoing Waldorf Educator training. My other interests include herbalism, birding, painting and drawing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Hello there, hope this finds you well. Looking for a temp/part time nanny? I may very well be the nanny for you. I am a trained and qualified nanny. My schooling was completed in England, some 20+ years ago, where i completed my NNEB, since then I have worked for numerous families, both here and abroad. Being a nanny is something I enjoy. Guiding and helping children learn and grow through play is extremely rewarding, as is helping parents/families navigate the wonders of parenthood/ work/ life. I have great references. I am currently working for a family in Lake Oswego. These guys I have been working with for the last 16yrs. They have 3 children, who are now all school age. I work all week day afternoons with them, and some school holidays. I am currently looking for temp/ part time work. I have weekday mornings available, some evenings, and weekends. I'll be sure to keep the calendar updated, but feel free to ask if i have availability not shown. What do I do in my free time...spend time with friends. I love hiking, reading, yoga, exploring the coast. Getting to see live music, trying the wonderful food Portland has to offer, and gardening.( currently thinking about the planting plan for said garden) I also like to plan a trip back to England every other year. If that doesn't happen, then Hawaii is never far from my mind. Ps, not sure where the senior care came from, but I am not proficient in that field. Just letting you know. Thanks.
