"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."

Cathrine $25 per hour for 1 child
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.
Dasia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is D’Asia I’m a 20-year-old full-time college student at Portland State University offering childcare services for families. While, I don’t have any formal training or certificates. I bring a wealth of experience as the oldest of four siblings having taken on a motherly role when needed. I’ve cared for children ages one through six and truly enjoy fostering their curiosity, creativity, and growth. I love being outdoors and engaging in activities like painting, reading, and taking walks, which I found calm little ones. I can assist with homework, help keep them active and ensure they stay engaged with fun, meaningful activities . Although I’m allergic to cats, I’m comfortable with dogs. I look forward to helping your family by providing reliable, compassionate and engaging care for your children.
Aubree $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My names Aubree. I am a toddler teacher at a daycare school in Vancouver WA. My biggest nanny experience was for 10 months as an overnight nanny for a beautiful family. I look occasionally for some extra money picking up a couple shifts in a month to nanny. I am also working towards my early childhood education certification.
Declan $15 per hour for 1 child
I’m a responsible and caring person with camp counselor experience! I think children deserve to be heard, and their needs met. I am a relaxed stabilizing presence for my campers, and am good at turning any situation into a positive experience. Positive forms of learning and personal connection matter a lot to me. Additionally I have experience with Nero divergent (OCD and On the spectrum) children. I am watchful and entertaining for the young ones! I am mostly used to managing larger groups of campers, but my best moments have always been with smaller groups or individual campers, listening to feelings and resolving problems! I've done care for younger children ages less than 1 - 3 for relatives outside of my camp experience. I think what matter's most at that age is fostering a secure relationship with the outside world, and I am frankly just fascinated to watch them learn! Please let me know if I could help your family! I am fully vaccinated and boosted. LGBT families are welcome, I am LGBT!
