Lily $21 per hour for 1 child

I developed strong childcare skills from a young age. When I was eight, my aunt had her first child, and because I lived with her, I helped care for them. Over the following years, she had two more children, giving me valuable hands-on experience with children of different ages. My family quickly came to trust me as their go-to babysitter because of how naturally I connect with kids. Later on, I babysat my two younger siblings. I’m patient, gentle, caring, respectful, easygoing, and positive, and I adapt my caregiving style to each child’s unique needs while creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I can prepare basic meals, help with household chores, and learn new routines or recipes if needed. I value open communication and kindly ask families to share any important expectations or instructions so I can provide the best care possible.

Ericka $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ericka! I am looking for weekend gigs cuz this economy? Whew chile! Mon- Fri, I work at a child care center. My cohort are just starting to turn two! I’ve been with this cohort for about 18 months. My youngest started at 7 weeks!!! I started child care back when I was 16 and worked for about 10 years before switching careers. I worked as a bus driver for quite awhile! A couple years back, I left Trimet to come back to my true love (despite the wage). I’m REALLY familiar with 3 and under, but love older kiddos too! I’ve worked with 10 yrs and under in a professional child care setting and done some babysitting for 11 and 12s. Pet wise, I’m not terribly familiar or comfortable with snakes, but as long as I don’t have to hold or feed one, them just existing isn’t a problem. I have a small dog named Georgie. I love going for walks, swimming, parks, child friendly spaces, movies, music, books, etc. As a current child care worker, I have my cpr and first aid cert., food handlers card. Any other questions, don’t be shy!

Genna $25 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of childcare experience, including nannying for a one-year-old for the past year and caring for a two- and three-year-old for two years. I’ve also worked at summer camps, so I’m comfortable planning activities and keeping kids engaged. I’m outgoing, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I’m currently in graduate school for counseling, which has strengthened my ability to connect with children and support their emotional development. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs and am very comfortable with pets. My schedule is flexible.
