I'm a former high school teacher and most recently worked as a nanny for two children. I focus on providing a caring and creative environment for children. Painting, reading and making meals/snacks are some of the activities they seem to like the most. I believe children should be encouraged to explore the world around them and have fun!

Hello, I am an Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education Teacher in the area. I’ve been a teacher for 35 years. I’m also a mom. My daughter just hit her 30’s! I have time to care for your little(s) when you need. I live in the Portland area.
Olivia $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m a therapist who works with tween/teen girls and I recently moved to Portland. I love spending time with girls ages 6–18 and am available for after-school or before school rides, homework structure support, and evening help. My speciality is mentoring and supporting girls in their emotional development, friendship world, regulation, and self confidence! Before becoming a therapist, I nannied for many families and have a lot of experience working with children and teenagers, supporting families and am still in touch with many of them! I’m not looking for full-time nannying but would love to support local families here and there or find a weekly position with a smaller amount of hours. Looking forward to hearing from you! :)
