Find an emergency babysitter in Lake Oswego, OR

I have several years of childcare experience, including nannying for a one-year-old for the past year and caring for a two- and three-year-old for two years. I’ve also worked at summer camps, so I’m comfortable planning activities and keeping kids engaged. I’m outgoing, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I’m currently in graduate school for counseling, which has strengthened my ability to connect with children and support their emotional development. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs and am very comfortable with pets. My schedule is flexible.

Hi! After successfully completing my time in the Navy, I'm currently working as a Field Service Engineer at a tech company but want to save more money for college and law school. Growing up, I took care of my sister off and on while my parents were out. When I turned 15, I started working as a lifeguard at my hometown's water park. And when I was 19, I worked for 6 months as a lifeguard at Disney World's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Contemporary Resort. I have spent most of my life taking care of kids and keeping them entertained but safe. I really enjoyed that work and hope I can achieve that again for you and your child.

Hi my name is Perla and I am a single mom that is going back to school to obtain a speech and language pathology certification. My bachelors degree is in child and adolescent development. I am pet friendly and have pets of my own and am excited to work with families while my kiddos are at school. My kiddos are 6 and 8 so I have plenty of first hand experience as well. I am also a native Spanish speaker. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

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.

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!
