Hi, I’m Valeria — a babysitter and proud mom of two boys, ages 7 and 10, living in Lake Marcel Carnation. I truly understand how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your children — because I’ve been in your shoes. With both personal and professional experience, I bring patience, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility to every family I work with. I tailor each interaction to your child’s unique personality and needs — from fun, imaginative play to calm bedtime routines. I’ve worked as a teacher’s assistant in elementary schools, which gave me valuable experience supporting children’s learning, routines, and social development in classroom settings. My native language is Spanish, and I’m currently improving my English every day. Being bilingual allows me to connect naturally with Spanish-speaking families and help introduce the language to children in a fun and engaging way. As a mom, I know how valuable it is to feel peace of mind when you’re away. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment where your little ones feel happy and cared for. And if your family has pets — even better! I’m also a trained veterinary assistant with a specialization in pet care, so you can rest assured your furry friends are in good hands too. Let’s connect and see how I can support your family with love, flexibility, and trust. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’d love to meet you! Warmly, Valeria

Engaged our toddler the entire time with play and books. Highly recommend!

Hello Parents, I work full-time as a Program Manager and offer nanny services as a side job—something that brings me great joy. As a mother of two, I understand how important it is to provide children with nurturing care, patience, and gentle guidance. Spending time with kids is truly fulfilling for me. Their curiosity, laughter, and pure hearts are inspiring, and I cherish every moment I get to support their growth and well-being. It would be an honor to care for your little ones and support your family’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can best help. Warm regards, Mandana

Mandana was wonderful with our 18 month old and 4 year old! Very nurturing, warm, kind, and creative with play! They warmed up to her immediately! By the time she left it was as though the kids seemed like they knew her forever Would absolutely recommend and have her back as much as we need!

My name is Mary and I grew up originally in Sherwood, OR and I have nannied and babysat for multiple years for family and connections found through family/friends. I am currently in working part time and am looking to help families in my community with babysitting, running errands, nannying, chores, etc. to supplement student loans. I am a very upbeat person and I also believe in low screen time for kids especially under the age of 3. I love planning crafts, games, walks to the park, and any other activities mom and dad are on board for! I currently work part time as a Horticulturist and am looking for subsequent hours for Wednesdays-Sundays.

Mary is absolutely wonderful! She is so friendly and easy to talk to, not to mention great with my little one. So glad to have Mary taking care of my kiddo!
