Hi! My name is Hanna. I’m a graduate college student with a degree in English, currently living in Northeast Portland. I come from a big, loving family with four rowdy brothers, so I’m no stranger to energetic households! My childcare experience began in high school, where I spent my junior and senior years nannying a toddler with fetal alcohol syndrome. It was some of the most challenging, yet rewarding, work I’ve ever done. Since then, I’ve cared for children ranging from infants to middle schoolers. At my local church, I’ve volunteered in nursery care, taught classes, and mentored middle school students over the years. I also worked closely with special needs students in high school—participating in P.E. classes, supporting talent shows, and building strong, inclusive friendships. Currently, I work as a substitute teacher and also as a barista at Starbucks, where I love greeting people with a smile and helping make their day a little brighter. As a mom myself, I know how important it is to create a safe, nurturing environment. I’m available for babysitting during the summertime and on weekends. I look forward to connecting with families in need of dependable, experienced care.
My name is Ghena I am working on my associates degree in PCC. I am offering childcare, senior care. I’m a preschool teacher. I love children and I’m very passionate about children and teaching them and being there for them. I worked as a babysitter For 2 years. I created a safe and nurturing childcare environment. I communicated with parents to understand each child's specific needs and desires. I have experience with seniors I lived with my grandparents and took care of them. I can drive seniors to appointments.
“She’s is really organized and very good at communicating when I reach out about scheduling. She’s does a really great job at taking care of my grandparents. They love having her around. She’s very friendly and very reliable. Totally recommend her if anyone’s need a caregiver”
Hi, I’m Carissa! I have a genuine love for working with children and bring a calm, caring energy to every babysitting job. With experience as a preschool teacher’s assistant, I’m comfortable with all kinds of routines—from playtime and learning activities to snacks and naps. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on creating a positive and safe space for kids to be themselves.
Hi my name is Sophia! I am currently a student at MHCC studying for nursing! I am offering child, senior, and pet care as well as some house keeping. I have been working in assisted memory senior care as an in-home care giver and also in a facility for about 5 years now. There, I prepared food, I did transferring, changes, cleaning, showering, medical applications, monitoring, feeding and behavioral and mental health as well. I don’t have much experience with children other than babysitting my nieces and nephew(toddlers and older)a little bit when I was younger but I really want to have more experience and learn more since I am currently taking a course on child development for my studies. I love children and I hope to learn more on how to care for them and how to do it well in the physical and mental aspects. I will try my best to provide a good and healthy environment for the children so they can learn and be their best selves. I have only learned to cook and clean at home and I find myself to be organized and a good thorough cleaner. So I don’t mind to offer some of my services in that! I grew up with dogs and caring for them and I love them so much as well as cats! I currently have two lovely cats and have lots of experience with cats as well. I am happy to offer dog or cat sitting services as well.
Hi! My name is Kimberly, and I’m a responsible and caring babysitter based in the Portland area. I really enjoy working with kids and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and have fun while you’re away. I have experience working in a childcare setting, and I’m currently in a Childhood Cadet program at school, where I’m learning more about child development and care. I’ve also babysat family members, so I’m comfortable handling different ages and routines. I can help with playtime, homework, meals, and bedtime, and I enjoy keeping kids engaged with activities like games, crafts, and outdoor play. I’m reliable, patient, and always prioritize safety. I’d love the opportunity to help support your family!
