"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Pria $18 per hour for 1 child
I grew up caring for a lot of my younger cousins, so I know how to handle chaos. I find kiddos to be very intresting little people, and love the times I get to spend with them. I would love to help be a support in kids' lives that I knew I needed when I was younger. I live with three dogs and two cats, and in the past I've cared for guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, and lizards. No animal is too much for me to handle. I love them and I love being around them!

Angie $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Angie and I've been working with kids for over four years. I spent a year working at a daycare before becoming a nanny, and I've had the privilege of working with two wonderful families. I am moving to Vancouver for a Bible internship and would love an opportunity to help with anyone seeking childcare. I'm attentive, patient, communicative, dependable, and love engaging with kids while playing, reading, going on adventures, and other fun activities. I'm comfortable helping with meals, naps, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and anything else that may be needed. I strive to do my best and am confident that I can provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for your children. Thank you for considering me and I would love to chat further!
Patricia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I am a retired teacher, mother and grandmother. I am a pet lover as well and would be happy to walk the dog or cuddle with the cat. I am quite active and swim 5 days a week. Most of my teaching experience was in elementary and I also taught art, so I could tutor and help your child with their homework. Any questions, feel free to ask!

Booked by 27 families in Columbia City, OR
Hi I’m Andrea! I am 27 and currently live in the Portland area. I have been baby sitting for the past several years and really enjoy the time I get to spend with kids! I have worked with the tutoring agency Kumon when I was a student at PSU and tutored kids from ages 2-10. I am also very comfortable with animals and have grown up with pets since I was a little girl and love to spend time in the sun outside!
“Andrea was sweet and kind to my 4 kids. She played with them, and they had a fun day! We recommend her!”
