Tiffany $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! I'm beginning my search for a new nanny position and would love to connect with a great family! I bring 14 years of experience working with several long-term families and am CPR certified. I also have a reliable SUV, making school pickups, outings, and adventures easy and safe. I'm a mom of two: my 2-year-old son joins me during the day, and my 5-year-old daughter is in kindergarten. Both of my children love making new friends and have blended beautifully into past nanny settings. My approach is play-based, hands on, and centered around creating a fun, engaging environment where children can learn through real life experiences. We spend lots of time outdoors, rain or shine (as any Oregon family understands!) exploring parks, nature trails, and staying active. If you think we might be a good fit, I'd love to connect and chat more! 😊

Оry $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ory. I recently moved to Portland, Oregon, and I’m originally from Ukraine. Before moving here, I lived in California, where I gained valuable experience working with children, seniors, and families. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children of different ages. I worked in a daycare, where I helped supervise children, prepared healthy meals, organized activities, and created a safe and positive environment. I’ve also been a babysitter for several families and have cared for children during church events and retreats. I truly love spending time with kids, helping them learn, play, and feel safe and loved. I also have experience caring for seniors. I’m happy to provide companionship, prepare meals, help with grocery shopping and errands, assist with light housekeeping, provide transportation to appointments, or simply be there to make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect. In addition, I have experience as a household assistant and enjoy keeping things organized. I’m happy to help with meal preparation, laundry, tidying up, running errands, and caring for pets. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. Families often describe me as warm, organized, and someone they can truly trust. I always do my best to create a safe, positive, and caring environment for everyone I work with. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming someone you can rely on!

Kailey $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kailey and I’m 18 years old. I have around 4 years of nanny/babysitting experience. I have my own means of transportation, am CPR certified, fully vaccinated, and can provide references! I’m currently looking for a long term commitment with a welcoming family. I enjoy being able to create a loving and safe environment for kids to be comfortable enough to express themselves. I have a gentle parenting style and believe in explaining why we can and can’t do things. I love to be able to find fun and engaging activities outside the house as well, if parents are okay with that! Pets are also definitely not an issue (I’m a big animal lover).

Madison $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maddie, I’m a dedicated and experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of professional experience caring for children of all ages. I have basic medical training, including a BLS certification and CNA training, so safety and preparedness are always top priorities. I love supporting kids through hands-on, Montessori-inspired learning, because in my opinion children learn best by doing, exploring, and engaging with the world around them. I enjoy planning fun outings and little adventures, bringing along crafts and creative activities that spark curiosity and imagination. I have a reliable and safe SUV and a clean driving record, and am happy to transport kiddos as needed.I also prepare nutritious, kid friendly meals and when possible have the kids helping with each step. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children feel supported, confident, and excited to learn. I also have plenty of experience running errands, housekeeping, and meal prepping. As well as pet care, and general household management. I’d be happy to take on any of these rolls as needed.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
