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!

New to Portland, OR, I moved here with my husband and two cats from Nashville, TN so I could study naturopathic medicine at NUNM. Before starting medical school, I worked as a professional nanny and part-time babysitter for 4 years after graduating from Vanderbilt University with my bachelors. I’ve cared for children of all ages from infant to pre-teen and we always find a way to have fun and learn new to things! My responsibilities have included meal prep, drop off and pick up from school or camp, morning and nighttime routines, and general tidying of the house. I would describe myself as punctual, professional, and flexible under pressure. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving record. I have also house sat and dog watched for a family I had nannied for, where my duties included checking food and water, administering medicine, and taking her for walks. With my variable school schedule, I’m looking for one-time or part-time childcare or pet-care positions. I hope you find me to be a good fit!

Austin $14 per hour for 1 child

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.

If you are looking for a nanny who can pivot from rocking a newborn to sleep, to building epic blanket forts, helping a teenagers study for their driver's test—all while having my job—we are going to be a perfect match! I am an active, vibrant Nanny who genuinely loves what she does. Childcare isn’t just a job for me; it’s an honor to be trusted. I bring a warm, animated, and fun-loving spirit into the home, making sure your kids feel completely loved, heard, and entertained. At the same time, I am deeply responsible and act as a supportive teammate to busy parents, making your day-to-day life easier and a lot more joyful. **The Tiny Humans (Newborns to 3 Years): I bring tons of patience and gentle energy to the baby stage. I’m an expert at soothing, baby-led weaning, establishing great nap routines, and doing goofy voices during tummy time to get those first big belly laughs. The Explorers (4 to 12 Years): This is where my vibrant side really shines! I love organizing messy arts and crafts, hosting living room dance-offs, creating outdoor scavenger hunts, and turning grocery shopping into a fun game. I also make sure homework gets done, schedules stay on track, and everyone gets to practice safely. **The Teen Crew (13 to 18 Years): I act as a cool, but trustworthy mentor, who is loving but can hold boundaries when needed. I’m great at listening without judging, helping them navigate high school stress, teaching them how to cook basic meals, working on life skills for their adulthood that they may not know they need but do, executive functioning skills, time management, and financial responsibility, and supporting them as they grow into independent young adults. Doing meal preparation for children, children's laundry, and keeping play areas, bedrooms, and gear sanitized and organized. **Safety & Emergency: I'm Highly vigilant and proactive regarding child safety, both inside the home and out in the community. I love having fun but safety comes first. I believe in open lines of communication providing detailed daily updates and teamwork. When I’m not busy, You can usually find me outside, reading/boardgames, something artsy, and always music. I’m also a bit of a self-proclaimed bird nerd—crows are my absolute favorite. Hugely active in Special Olympics and challengers baseball league communities, and I have been and still am employed with an active provider number through developmental disabilities for 9 years

"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!"
