Olivia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a therapist who works with tween/teen girls and I recently moved to Portland. I love spending time with girls ages 6–18 and am available for after-school or before school rides, homework structure support, and evening help. My speciality is mentoring and supporting girls in their emotional development, friendship world, regulation, and self confidence! Before becoming a therapist, I nannied for many families and have a lot of experience working with children and teenagers, supporting families and am still in touch with many of them! I’m not looking for full-time nannying but would love to support local families here and there or find a weekly position with a smaller amount of hours. Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

Nina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Nina! I live in Portland Oregon and have been working in childcare/ early childhood education for over 10 years! I have nannied for multiples, infants and was a lead teacher at a top rated preschool in Oregon. I work remotely as a Director of that preschool now and babysit as well! I am a great multi taker and love finding ways to peak little ones curiosity by providing a safe and nurturing environment full of opportunities for enrichment and exploration! Whether that means a “color walk” through the park, working together to cook a yummy lunch or reading together at the local library - I am always looking for ways to incorporate a love for learning! I am first aid certified and have over 100 hours of certified continued early childhood education training! Working with families is my favorite - I am happy to help run errands, do light cleaning and meal prep! Let me know if you (or your little one) have any questions 😊

Haley $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm Haley, a 21-year-old originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico, now calling Portland home while I finish my senior year at Lewis and Clark College. I’m studying International Relations and Hispanic Studies and love exploring new cultures and ideas. Babysitting is the perfect way for me to stay balanced during this busy year, while also doing something I truly enjoy. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, starting with families in my neighborhood, and it’s been a big part of my life ever since. Whether it’s after-school care, weekend fun, or much-needed date nights for parents, I love jumping in to help. Two summers ago, I had the amazing experience of being a full-time nanny for two sweet girls, ages 7 and 9. More recently, I’ve taken care of kids from 9 months old to school age, so I’m comfortable with children at all stages. In addition to childcare, I’ve done plenty of pet sitting and house sitting too! I’d describe myself as fun-loving, responsible, and reliable, and I always look forward to building connections and friendships with the kids I care for as I figure out my own path into adulthood. If you’re looking for a sitter who brings both a sense of responsibility and fun, I’d love to be that person for your family. I have my own car and live in a pretty accessible area of Portland, so don't hesitate to reach out!

Declan $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible and caring person with camp counselor experience! I think children deserve to be heard, and their needs met. I am a relaxed stabilizing presence for my campers, and am good at turning any situation into a positive experience. Positive forms of learning and personal connection matter a lot to me. Additionally I have experience with Nero divergent (OCD and On the spectrum) children. I am watchful and entertaining for the young ones! I am mostly used to managing larger groups of campers, but my best moments have always been with smaller groups or individual campers, listening to feelings and resolving problems! I've done care for younger children ages less than 1 - 3 for relatives outside of my camp experience. I think what matter's most at that age is fostering a secure relationship with the outside world, and I am frankly just fascinated to watch them learn! Please let me know if I could help your family! I am fully vaccinated and boosted. LGBT families are welcome, I am LGBT!

Sierra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Sierra. I currently work as a realtor in West Linn for Matin Real Estate but prior to this work, I worked in social services for a decade. I worked primarily as a vocational counselor helping individuals with their careers whom have a disability, injury, or mental health condition. I’ve also done medical case management, worked with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, and volunteered in the big brothers big sisters program to mentor youth. I have for many years taken care of my younger siblings from the time they were born up through teenage years. I also nanny for a friend who has a 5 year old child regularly as well. My education is a BA in Psychology and MPA degree. I am an excellent communicator, organized, thoughtful, and kind. With my education background, I am comfortable tutoring children and teenagers as I graduated with honors both in undergrad and graduate school and have taken challenging classes in a wide variety of studies. I am comfortable assisting with household errands, cleaning, and pick up/drop off to appointments or school. I own my own home and live in SW Beaverton. I drive a Subaru Crosstrek. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
