Find a last-minute babysitter in Happy Valley, OR

Hi, my name is Hannah and I love working with kids! I have over 17 years of collective experience in a variety of different child care positions, including summer camps, babysitting, and nannying. I previously worked as a preschool teacher at a Waldorf school. Kids are fun, wise, and inspire me to be imaginative and creative, and that's why I love working with them. Safety, patience, and creativity are what feel sparkly and important to me when I'm watching your children. I have a Master's degree in urban planning and am currently undergoing Waldorf Educator training. My other interests include herbalism, birding, painting and drawing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Hello there, hope this finds you well. Looking for a temp/part time nanny? I may very well be the nanny for you. I am a trained and qualified nanny. My schooling was completed in England, some 20+ years ago, where i completed my NNEB, since then I have worked for numerous families, both here and abroad. Being a nanny is something I enjoy. Guiding and helping children learn and grow through play is extremely rewarding, as is helping parents/families navigate the wonders of parenthood/ work/ life. I have great references. I am currently working for a family in Lake Oswego. These guys I have been working with for the last 16yrs. They have 3 children, who are now all school age. I work all week day afternoons with them, and some school holidays. I am currently looking for temp/ part time work. I have weekday mornings available, some evenings, and weekends. I'll be sure to keep the calendar updated, but feel free to ask if i have availability not shown. What do I do in my free time...spend time with friends. I love hiking, reading, yoga, exploring the coast. Getting to see live music, trying the wonderful food Portland has to offer, and gardening.( currently thinking about the planting plan for said garden) I also like to plan a trip back to England every other year. If that doesn't happen, then Hawaii is never far from my mind. Ps, not sure where the senior care came from, but I am not proficient in that field. Just letting you know. Thanks.

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.

I am a mother of 7 and a youthful grandmother of many. My children were in the regular education system for several years, and then were homeschooled while we traveled. At university I majored in economics, law and divinity. I have worked in higher levels of the civil service, in private business and in the healing arts. I have also provided executive protection for the families of well known people at festivals and concerts. In my current semi-retirement, I enjoy nature, hiking, cultural events, and social media. At UrbanSitter, I am mainly interested in short term assignments - movie nights, vacation help, children or adults recovering from illnesses or accidents, children needing brief tutoring or emotional support, and helping busy parents cope with the unexpected hurdles life sometimes throws when we're raising children. I am happy to help you and your family with whatever it is that you need at the moment, and I look forward to meeting all of you. Let's together find a creative solution for the current situation. .

My childcare journey began at 12, babysitting in my church nursery, but it was my younger brother’s birth when I was 13 that truly ignited my passion for caring for little ones. Helping raise him next to a hard working single mother showed me how much I love nurturing and guiding children through their early years. Since then, I’ve gained over ten years of experience as a nanny, overnight caregiver, home manager, and preschool teacher. I’ve also worked as a professionally trained doula, further deepening my understanding of child development and family support. I’m also an active person and grew up participating in team sports, including soccer and swim team, which taught me the value of energy, focus, and teamwork—qualities I bring to my caregiving. I love creating fun, engaging moments to help kids learn, grow, and explore their world. With confidence, patience, and a second nature for childcare, I’m here to provide your little ones with exceptional care and attention.
