Hello! I’m Michelle, a dedicated and responsible childcare provider on UrbanSitter with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I pride myself on creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where kids can learn, play, and thrive. Families appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and genuine care for their children’s well-being. I look forward to helping your family with dependable and compassionate care.

I grew up in a family of 5 and I’m the middle child, we all have children and I’m surrounded by children. I love to cook, I’m a very good cook and grocery shopper as well! I love children. I have 2 grandchildren and they are the light of my light. I helped raise them until they moved to Oklahoma when they were 9 and 11. I cooked, cleaned, took them to church, school, helped with homework, all the extra things their Mom needed help with. My mother lived with me the last 5 years of her life. She was sick the last 2. She was on home hospice with me the last 6 months of her life and I was her caregiver. When I was in my early 20’s I was a CNA in a couple of nursing homes, so I knew what to do. I took the last year of work off to be with her. I loved taking care of her. I’m a very loving Christian woman and I would love to take care of your family. I love dogs too and I’m happy to pet sit as well! I have decided to not go back to high pressure sales and be of service to a nice family that needs a nice older woman that has some energy and experience.

I’m a loving and committed teacher with years of experience teaching and working with children ages birth to 6 in a variety of settings. I was the owner and provider of Early Years Development Center for many years, I also worked in preschools and infant toddler programs over 10 years in the greater Portland Metropolitan area. I have an Associates degree in Early childhood education, current CPR/ First aid. I have taken many trainings related to the field including Safe back to sleep, I have a passion for Early Childhood learning and play, and learning and discovering new things. I love animals, travel, reading, walking and my Corgi dog Lucy!

Compassionate and fun childcare provider with over 10 years of experience with children of all ages and personalities. I also have over 10 years of experience in the medical field and have taken all of the state of Oregons required child care classes. I am all about connecting with a child based on their needs and interests. I’m easy to get a long with and am certain you will feel peace about leaving your child in my care.

Hey, I’m Teara! I am outgoing and fun. I like to do arts and crafts, story time, creative/messy games outside(depending on their preferences for weather, of course!) and am always open to trying/learning new thing to do with kids! I am a great communicator and willing give updates throughout the day. I’ve always enjoyed being around kids, along with animals. I love to watch them learn, develop new skills, question things or explain in ways we as adults don’t often think of and watching them find new interests. I have worked with kids for almost 10 years ranging from infants(2mo) -to preteens (12-13). I also have experience and am confident in my abilities when working with multiple young children at once. (1:4 ratio from ages 3 months- 2 years old) I started out with home babysitting for my family then eventually turned into family nannying for other families near me. I have continued to nanny part time for a few families over the last 10 years. Eventually, I found a daycare part time while in HS. & Also worked at a Child Development Center as the Wobbler Assistant & Lead Toddler Teacher for over six years. I have two kiddos of my own- 5 and 3! I’ve recently taken a step back from working in a childcare setting (I definitely still try to stay updated and informed on trainings and child developmental info being learned/taught to teachers and caregivers) and just been taking on part time, last minute, date night gigs! However, I am open to something consistent if it seems like a great fit for everyone. My love and passion for kids has always been there. I continue to do trainings, learn about development and stay up to date on all the child info :) I am also COVID cautious; fully vaccinated, willing to wear a mask, and limiting my exposures. •Meal prep •Homework help •School drop off/pick up •Background check completed •TB test cleared •CPR first aid, blood borne pathogens, & HIV/AIDS certified •Food handlers card •Recognizing/reporting abuse/neglect •Clean driving record, Safe car •Health & Safety •RIE •PBIS I am looking forward to meeting new families through this site & helping out as much as possible.
