Hello, my name is Jade and I work as a consulting environmental scientist in Portland, Oregon. I grew up in Seattle and have worked as a babysitter in Seattle and The Bay Area. I have been caring for children on and off since I was a teenager, worked as a nanny and lifeguard through college, then later as an environmental educator and volunteer coordinator, and have maintained CPR/First Aid certification. I've worked as a "date night" sitter, as a nanny where my daily responsibilities included walking older children to school and caring for toddlers or infants during the work day, with parents either also working in the home or running errands, and as a to and from school driver. Most recently I nannied regularly for a family in Olympia, WA with a 10 month old and a 4 year old several days a week. On occasion I will work with a nonprofit when they need childcare service for an event. I've worked with children aged 2 mos through 14 years of age, with the eldest being uniquely abled (Downs) and requiring additional support with homework and developing life skills. I enjoy exploring nature with children, taking kids on walks and day-trips, dancing, making art, building forts, playing games, helping kids practice responsibility and awareness of self and others, and supporting kids to think both creatively and critically. I honestly appreciate how kids can be both serious and imaginative, opinionated yet adaptable, and enjoy spending time with them and having fun! I am capable of assisting with any homework or research necessary for school, with my greatest strengths in Language Art, the study of Languages (Spanish, French), Arts, Sciences, and then Maths up to Advanced Algebra and Statistics. I have extracurricular experience in swimming, soccer, ultimate frisbee, dance, journalism, photography, graphic design, choir, and horseback riding, as well as gardening and permaculture. If you think we might be a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out and ask any questions you may have.
“Jade was instantly a hit with our 15 month old. She is engaging and playful and able to follow through with his bedtime routine. We wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.”
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.”
My name is Moriah I have been babysitting for 12 years now. I love animals and have two cats of my own and 2 bearded dragons. I have taken care of non-neurotypical kids and adults.

Hi, my name is Charmaine. I've been working with children since I was 13 and truly love doing it! I started by babysitting for kids in my neighborhood. At 16 started working part time as a helper at a daycare center. I was a principal of the same daycare for 2 years and now a full time nanny looking for babysitting opportunities. I've worked with kids of all ages, I am infant qualified and know CPR and first aid. I am also a Household manager and will do parents and kids laundry, look after pets, prepare all meals, willing to do all household chores and can swim. Fully vaccinated and boosted
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!”
