Hi! My name is Carol and I am a proud mother myself! I am a certified life coach with lots of flexibility in my schedule. Formerly a licensed court reporter and certified paralegal writing personal injury case summaries for a law publication.

“I was in town for a conference staying at a hotel, so I Booked Carol for the day. She responded to my request fast. She arrived on time and stayed with my son for 10 hours. My son enjoyed her company. She was also kind enough to give me a discount for the sitting fee of the whole day. It was a right choice to pick her for me.”
Hi! I have experience with nannying/babysitting/caregiving for 30 years. In my younger days I babysat and was a summer nanny for children ages 1-8 years old. That included morning and evening day/bedtime routines, packing meals, engaging in activities with children, coaching them with age appropriate skills (tying shoes, playing games, swimming, etc.). As I got older I continued to offer childcare on the side while working other jobs and going to school for a Bachelors degree in Sociology. Fast forward to when I moved to Portland in 2008, I began watching babies (starting at 6mos to a year) through a nanny share with multiple families. I really enjoyed the opportunity to watch children grow from such a young age and be able to guide them into learning life skills. I did this temporarily until going back to hospitality and restaurant management for 12 years. Fast forward to now, and I am currently a Site Director for an afterschool program for grades K-5 and I absolutely love it! I would like to continue working with kids in between my primary job, and look forward to meeting families that are interested in my experience! *infant/child/adult CPR and First Aid certified
Hi! My name is Jordyn, I am currently a first year nursing student at the University of Portland. I am originally from Hawaii so I grew up loving the outdoors, and just being in nature. Some things I love to do are going to the beach, hiking, fishing, shelling, and ceramics. I am known to having a caring and patient personality, hence me majoring in nursing. I really just love helping other people and animals. I have been babysitting in Portland for around 6 months now, plus years of experience caring for family friends in Hawaii, ages infant-12 years old. I'm also experienced in dog sitting/walking so I don’t mind animals. I am CPR certified, and am excited to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for your children or pets. My rates do express the quality of care I give. I do not have a car however I am very responsible about time orientation and will not be late. (I do have a license and never got into an accident, just not a car in oregon)
“Jordyn was great! Responsible, cheerful, great with our 8month old. Will have her back any time.”
Hello, there! I’m Mia! My experience with children started young, being the oldest of a large family! I also have worked as a nanny for a variety of families in the past and always enjoyed my time! I take a more “screen-free” approach to my time with your children (arts and crafts, anyone?). I am a creative person myself so I enjoy drawing and painting, building blocks and reading! Also open to whatever works with your unique family’s needs. I have experience pet sitting and dog walking and am comfortable with dogs, cats, lizards and other kinds of small animals!
“Mia is kind and gentle and really wonderful with our 7 month old, keeping her engaged with books and toys. Mia also helps out around the house during nap time which we really appreciate. We look forward to working with you more!”
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.”

"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!"
