Kimberly $19 per hour for 1 child

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!

Ally $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Ally, a caring, dependable, and experienced caregiver with over five years of babysitting experience and a genuine love for working with kids. I’ve cared for children ranging from under 1 year old through 13 years old, so I’m comfortable with everything from bottles and nap schedules to homework help and creative play. I also worked as an outdoor educator at an urban farm, where I guided kids through hands-on learning experiences, nature activities, and group projects. That role helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to keep kids engaged in fun, safe, and enriching ways. In addition to childcare, I have two years of elder caregiving experience, which strengthened my attentiveness, compassion, and sense of responsibility. I’ve also been a trusted house and pet sitter for over five years, regularly caring for dogs and cats and maintaining homes with care and respect. I’m calm, organized, and nurturing, and I truly enjoy creating safe, positive environments where kids can feel supported, have fun, and be themselves. I would love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!
