Find a last-minute babysitter in Portland, OR

Hello there! :) My name is Daria, I am currently a senior at GFU nursing program. I am offering childcare and household services. I have experience working with children of various ages in summer camps and being a nanny since I was 17 years old. I enjoy playing with children, doing crafts, getting outside and tutoring! I can also help around the house, cook and drive to places, if needed! Looking forward to work with you!

Hello there, I’m Emily! I’m a 23 years old nanny old full time nanny looking to add some more families to my evening and weekend sitting list! I have 7 years of experience with a wide range of ages. I’ve worked in daycares, preschools, kindergarten classrooms and have been a nanny for 3 years now! I am CPR and first aide certified, have taken safe sleep trainings, took many college courses on early childhood development and education and many other trainings throughout my years of working with kiddos. I love to be very creative and active when it comes to working with kids and spend all the time I can outside. I love a hands on, learn through play approach and try to find a small lesson in everything I do. I’d love to chat more and see if I would be a good fit for your family!

The wonderful thing about loving your job is it’s easy to show up with a smile and a positive attitude. I really like working in the care sector and especially enjoy watching children grow, learn and become individuals. I live alone so I have flexibility with my schedule. I do have a cat if you are allergic. I am hoping to focus on childcare for all ages. In the past 14yrs I’ve cared for, and spent time with, children between the ages of 4 and 17, between 1[removed] I had experience with infants and toddlers. My niece and nephews are my greatest joy. One nephew is neurodivergent and my niece is special needs, I only mention this because it taught me patience, healthy coping skills and communication. Practically speaking, what I can offer: 1) I can cook and bake, focusing on vegetable heavy dishes. If you have a craving for spanakopita or NY cheesecake? I can provide. 2) I’m a very safe driver with a reliable car. I haven’t had a car accident or traffic ticket since 1995. I’m more than happy to drive to do errands, pick up groceries, do school pick ups & drop offs and trips to the soccer field. 3) I’m a VERY creative person! I have a ton of arts and crafts supplies that I can bring for everything from watercolors to polymer clay sculpture. I’m also good with stories, silly songs and funny dances. 4) I am happy to help with a little homework (familiar with Montessori teaching practices) playing games, reading nighttime stories and TALKING with children to develop vocabulary and communication. I should mention I’m open to being a support person for child birthday parties or group outings. I’d be thrilled to do elder care and am very respectful, soft spoken when appropriate, and would be just as happy playing cribbage as reading whatever is of interest to my client. I honesty enjoy looking at family photo albums and listening to THEIR stories. I volunteered for 11 years at a care facility painting the ladies nails and reading to male and female clients. Have experience working with clients who have dementia. And finally I can do cat and small dog sitting duties. I have had cats living with me for decades, and few dogs too. I’m very pet friendly. No housecleaning duties other than laundry, dishes, counters and picking up after play time. Hope this inspires you to message and/or meet with me to see if I’m the right fit for you and your family. Have a great day!

Hi my name is Lexi! I am 28 years old. My past work experience has been with teenagers 12-17 year olds and this was teenagers who struggled with behavioral issues and trauma, so I do have experience with de-escalation and trauma informed. Although, I have a niece and a nephew who are 1 and 3 who I am very close to and have babysat on multiple occasions.

I am an active petsitter. I am in school to work with children with disabilities. I’ve watched over a child younger than 9months. I have been a child care provider for PTA meetings at a local elementary school. I am a big sister with 4 younger siblings. I have plenty of experience with kiddos and pets! I love to be creative and adventurous!
