Booked by 17 families in Gales Creek, OR

Hi- My names Mai. I came back from teaching in Tokyo 4 years ago now. I've been working with kids from around 14 which is when I started babysitting and teaching abacus. I've been teaching abacus both in person and online for the past 10+ years but it's fun to watch kids outside an educational environment. I'm fluent in Japanese and English and am always down for outdoor adventures like swimming, biking, berry picking, or just going to the park. But I can always enjoy a good book or movie. I work 8-5 as a PM during the weekday but I’m free outside of those hours if you have a concert or date night. Hopefully, I'm able to offer some assistance to you outside of these hours. you for your understanding and reading this far!

Mai was amazing with our daughter! She showed up on time, communicated well throughout, and had a very calming presence. Our daughter really enjoyed the time with her and my wife and I felt at ease while we were out. Would definitely recommend!

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).

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!

Sarah $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’m thrilled to be pursuing my passion for working with children as a nanny. I’m 29, and my love for kids started when I was a teenager babysitting. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in childhood counseling. After taking a detour to become a stay-at-home mom for almost two years following the birth of my daughter, I’m now excited to return to my passion and continue on this fulfilling journey. When I returned back to the workforce, it was in the insurance industry as a licensed insurance producer in Oregon and Washington. Although I enjoy helping people protect what matters most, the challenges of Corporate and the changing world has made me reconsider my path. After five years, I’m eager to once again pursue my degree in childhood counseling while working in a role that aligns with my passions. What I Offer: • Childcare: I provide a positive, nurturing environment that fosters emotional, educational, and social development. • Transportation: I’m comfortable driving children to/from school or extracurricular activities and have a clean driving record. • Homework Support: I assist with grade school level homework and learning activities to support your child’s academic growth. • Parenting Support: Experienced with Gentle Parenting techniques, but I’m happy to follow your preferred parenting style and approach. • Outdoor and Creative Activities: I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, and visiting the library with children. • Household Assistance: I’m available to help with cooking, cleaning, and running errands, so you can focus on quality time with your family. • Pet Care: I’m an animal lover and am happy to help with pet care as well. I’m excited to meet you and your family and contribute to a happy, healthy, and enriching environment for your child!

"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)."
