As an educated and experienced early childhood professional, I know how to make the most of teachable moments in everyday experiences. I spent my first career working with children and families in various educational settings, with children from birth through the teenage years, and understand the critical development happening during these different stages. Now I work as a family therapist, and I love to provide babysitting services as a way of staying connected to my roots! I enjoy getting to know each child as an individual, and creating the best environment for them. I have worked with children, teens, and young adults with varying needs, including children with autism, Down syndrome, epilepsy, asthma, and moderate to severe behavioral diagnoses. I am comfortable with and trained to administer medications, including epi-pens. I have experience with cloth diapering, baby led weaning, and various parenting styles- it’s important for me to connect with the way you prefer your child to be interacted with.

“Liza is incredible. Our kid, who is a little shy, took to her immediately. She has an amazing energy about her, and clearly loves children. Highly recommend!”

Booked by 18 families in Boring, OR

Hi families, my name is Valentina and I'm 23 years old and I'm from the beautiful country Colombia. I'm studying Foreign Trade because I like to practice English, I'm trying to improve it and I would like to spend time with kids because I think that they're the best teachers! In my free time I love to spend time with my friends and family, also, I love to have time for me and myself just watching TV shows, movies or just resting. I have experience taking care kids because I passed a lot of time with my little sister, my cousins and little neighbors, I took care of them a lot of times and also I did a volunteer in a daycare, I spent a lot of time with babies, I love their innocence and the way that you can win their hearts.

“She played with my kids the whole time and didn’t need any help. We were able to catch up on chores and have enough quiet to work on planning and even go out to lunch together. I highly recommend her and will try to hire her again.”

I am a Portland native and I worked as a teacher for 4 years. I graduated with my BA from Lewis & Clark College and earned my MAT at the University of Portland. I am currently a volunteer on the board of a nonprofit and am starting up a small online business with an old friend. I enjoy soccer, hiking, singing with my gospel choir, teaching Girl Scouts how to sew, and I’m currently renovating a vintage Airstream. I started baby-sitting as a ten-year-old, and have since worked with children of all ages. Most of my experience is with elementary school age kids, but I love babies and toddlers as well. Please check my calendar for availability. I am primarily available for date nights, not after-school pick-ups. Thanks!

Booked by 10 families in Boring, OR

Hello! My name is Mary and I'm excited to start working with you. I have a BA in English Lit with a minor in French. After graduating college I spent a year in France teaching English to French high schoolers. Before doing that I was a reading tutor and baby sat for many wonderful families, including families with autistic and ADHD sons. I have also worked as a skills coach for developmentally disabled adults and feel comfortable working with kids of different ability levels. My motto as a caregiver is patients, compassion, and most importantly having fun will make everyone's experience great. I am also a professional baker and pastry cook, and love to cook for kids or with them! I've been living in Portland for about 5 years now and I love this beautiful city and all it has to offer. In my spare time I like to go biking with my boyfriend, go on hikes, sketch (mostly flowers and nature stuff), read, and write poetry. I also love superhero movies, cartoons, and photography. I would love to get a chance to get to know your family.
