Daryl $16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

Hello! My name is Daryl and I'm currently pursuing a college education to work in pediatrics and neuroscience. I have over three years of childcare experience. I worked over a year as a volunteer teacher's aide for ages 3-4, over two years as a children's swim instructor for ages 3 months to 12 years old, and two summers as a creative arts camp guide for a variety of age groups. Across my three years of childcare experience, I have worked with children with disabilities one-on-one a multitude of times. While I was a swim instructor, I was certified to teach students with disabilities, and as a teacher's aide, I worked individually with a student alongside general classroom work. I am especially proficient in working with children with autism.

Julia $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone! My name is Julia and I’m recent graduate from Oregon State University. I’m offering childcare services, household services, and pet care services. I have childcare experience with multiple-child families, ages 2-12. I’m able to run errands, grocery shop, clean, make meals and snacks, and laundry if requested. For pet care, I have experience with both cats and dogs. I have a cat of my own so I’m well-versed in playing, changing litter, and on-time feeding. I love playing with the animals as well, and will give them great company! I don’t have allergies to any pets. A little more about me: I love to cook new recipes, read fiction books, be out in nature, bird watch, and do arts and crafts. One of my favorite crafts I did as a kid was making fairy houses! You can take bark, leaves, sticks and twigs, moss, and anything else you can find outside (+ hot glue) and make something magical. Pro tip: Dust the top of it with fairy dust (glitter) when the kids go to bed so they wake up to a little fairy surprise!

Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

I’m a warm, playful caregiver with 15+ years of experience working in daycare centers and preschools, and I’m also a mom of three myself. I hold a degree in Family and Human Services, which gives me a strong foundation in child development and family support. I love creating fun, engaging activities that help kids learn and feel safe, while also maintaining clear routines and boundaries. Children’s health and safety are always my top priorities, and I strive to provide a caring, trustworthy environment for every child I work with.
