Hi, this is Shahran (Sharon) and I am 52 years old. I am a foreign medical graduate with years of medical work experience but I love working with kids too!I ve been watching my nieces from infancy until school ages plus the other kids. I love to entertain the kids with variety of activities such as: outdoor playing and walking, singing and dancing, doing crafts and play dough, drawing and reading books, imaginative playing and games, foreign languages and so many other things depending the age. My personal hobbies are: reading,swimming and cooking.
Hi! My name is Reegan, and I’m a nurturing, creative, and experienced caregiver based in the Portland/Wilsonville area. I’ve worked with children and families in many capacities over 10+ years—as a certified birth and postpartum doula, through nonprofit outreach, and in both home and professional settings. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I bring a calm, supportive presence and love creating meaningful, screen-free experiences for kids—whether it’s imaginative play, crafts, storytime, or outdoor fun. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, tidying up, dishes, laundry, and organizing, as well as pet care. I’m dependable, warm, and truly love supporting families in a hands-on, heart-centered way. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!
Hi, I'm Lisa, but all my families call me Nina (my grandma nickname). I'm a mom to four grown children and grandmother to seven! I have been a professional nanny for over 20 years and I absolutely love it. Families face so many challenges today and I love coming along side parents and making their life easier and their homes run smoother. Knowing what families need before they even ask is my superpower! From newborn care to taking tweens to and from activities, I've done it all! I honestly love cooking, cleaning, and laundry and am happy to help in whatever ways makes sense for your family. I also know how important trust and communication are when inviting someone into your home and I pride myself on being honest, dependable, and flexible as your needs grow and change. I currently have a wonderful family that I care for after school M-TH, but am available for weekends, evenings, and daytime hour or backup care on school closures or sick days. I look forward to finding the right family to support!
“Lisa was a life saver! We were fortunate to have Lisa watch our son for a little over a year, until we moved away for work. As a first-time mom she made me feel at ease. She helped with sleep training and getting a good routine that worked for our family. She became part of our family right away. She goes above and beyond. She took our son to the park, library and to playdates. She has great communication and very reliable. We miss her every day!!”
Hi my name is Lexi! I am 28 years old. My past work experience has been with teenagers 12-17 year olds and this was teenagers who struggled with behavioral issues and trauma, so I do have experience with de-escalation and trauma informed. Although, I have a niece and a nephew who are 1 and 3 who I am very close to and have babysat on multiple occasions.
“I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Lexi for 4 years. She is very personable, professional, and punctual. She is able to turn a dull environment into something more exciting with her enthusiastic personality. As our friendship has grown I have seen how wonderful of a first time aunt she is. I 100% recommend Lexi as a babysitter for various ages.”
