Hello, I’m Ivory! I am an independent college student, I just graduated 2025 at PSU with a bachelor of fine arts! I have taken 4 years of Spanish and would be happy to share basic Spanish vocabulary! I love drawing, painting, ceramics, and am working 7 years so far as a part time ice cream cake decorator. In my free time I enjoy singing, working out, and playing games with friends! I have experience babysitting my 3 nephews, and working with kids at church. I babysat for a girl 5 y/o girl until she was 7 y/o in the mornings getting ready for school with the occasional pickup from school. . I occasionally babysit a nonverbal 4y/o boy with autism since he was 1 year old. I’ve currently been babysitting a 3 year old girl on Saturdays for the last year! I have pet sitting experience too for dogs, cats, fish, and farm animals (I adore my cat Toulouse), I’ve been pet sitting my sisters golden doodle puppy occasionally. I love teaching kids new things and sharing what I’ve learned with them. I’m looking to save more money while doing something that I enjoy! (A bonus is I love cleaning/organizing too and would be happy to help with that!)
“I hired Ivory for ongoing and occasional babysitting for my daughter who is 6. She has been very helpful and kind. She was willing and ready to help with little things that make life so much easier for me as a single parent and make transitions smoother for my daughter.”
I have been a nanny for 20 years. I have been responsible for household duties as well as child care. I have transported kids to and from activities. I am very reliable and trustworthy with letters of recommendation.
Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’m a senior nursing student at George Fox University. I’ve been caring for children of all ages for the past 7 years, and I’m passionate about child development, safety, and creating a fun, nurturing environment where children can learn and thrive. I’m CPR and BLS certified for adults and pediatrics, and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish. I’m a strong student and would love to help with homework, encourage learning, and find engaging, age-appropriate activities for children. I’m also a great cook and happy to help with meal preparation, tidying up, laundry, and maintaining a clean, organized home. I understand how busy family life can get, and I enjoy being a dependable extra set of hands that parents can trust. Beyond childcare, I have experience in senior care and caring for a wide variety of animals, including large and small dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, and snakes. I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and routines, and I approach every responsibility with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I’m dependable, organized, proactive, and caring. My nursing education has strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, and ability to stay attentive to others’ needs. Above all, I want the families I work with to feel comfortable knowing their loved ones and homes are in good hands. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted, reliable part of your family’s support system!
Hi! I’m Andrea, a mom to an energetic 4-year-old and a professional childcare provider with over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including children with special needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I currently work professionally with children every day. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable while parents have peace of mind. I enjoy reading stories, arts and crafts, outdoor play, educational activities, and helping children build confidence through positive encouragement. Through my work in ABA, I have experience supporting children with autism and other developmental needs using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children, preparing simple meals and snacks, homework help, bedtime routines, and keeping your family’s schedule running smoothly. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. As a mom myself, I treat every child with the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family!
“I have strong experience caring for children, seniors, and pets. I am patient, trustworthy, and enjoy helping others. I am skilled in cooking healthy meals, cleaning, organizing, and driving. Families can count on me to create a safe, comfortable, and positive environment every day.”

"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!"
