“Caroline helped to babysit our 15 month toddler for two days. It’s like having your private ms Rachel at home. She’s energetic and very patient with our fussy toddler. She also understands baby’s needs and provides good suggestions to parents. Will hire her again! ”
I’m the eldest of six, the mother of four, and the grandmother of seven! I’ve always had dogs, cats, and small animals. I have a Bachelor of Science degree and substitute teacher experience. I am an excellent cook and housekeeper. I love people and animals and they generally love me, too!
I am a graduate from Lewis and Clark college. i graduated with a bachelors in Biology. I have watched children at my aunts church occasionally and have babysat for a few families long term. I have 3+ years experience with children as young as 4 months old. I also have experience with children that have learning disabilities and down syndrome. I love to babysit because I plan on becoming an OBGYN or pediatrician. I just love to be around children and help then grow and learn. Also I am a stickler for the outdoors!! I am also First aid/CPR certified and BLS certified as well.
“Wonderful woman! Kids love her and she has such strong initiative to do what needs to be done without being asked :) ”
Unavailable from 7/14-8/29 Hello! After graduating with my Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and a minor in psychology, I was offered the opportunity to substitute teach for the school district. For six years I was lucky enough to be a substitute teacher for ages K-12. My passion for child development and psychology makes me eager to provide children with an environment conducive to being a healthy and happy child, while catering to each child's uniqueness and supporting their greatest endeavors. Because of my wide range of substituting, I have experience with behavioral differences, children of all levels of skillset, mindset, backgrounds, and ages. Much of my time was spent at the Montessori school working with gifted students and the other bit of my time was at the behavioral academy for children who benefitted from a bit more TLC, in between these extremes I was regularly subbing in traditional classrooms. Due to the pandemic, and the closure of schools, I began working in research and development at a lab in Washington and I have since dabbled in healthcare as a CNA, doing so was rewarding and helped solidify my passion for caring for others and taught me a great deal about caring for seniors as well. My current career goals are centered to be in healthcare within the next year. In my free time you can find me in the sunshine, chasing my crazy beagle, paddle boarding, and experimenting in the kitchen.
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.
