Find nannies in Gales Creek, OR

Hi, I'm Mariel and I would love to help you and your family! I am currently 28 years old and live in Beaverton. In recent years, I've been a nanny for children ranging from newborns to middle schoolers. I have nannied for about 6 years and have always had a passion for kids! My most recent nanny opportunity was with a 10 month old girl (started at 6 months) and sometimes her 3 year old brother. I feel comfortable working with multiple children at once. I love playing with the kids and helping them grow! I have my own car so transportation would never be a problem and I am also CPR and first aid certified. I'd love to hear back from you! Thank you! Mariel

Hello families! I’m excited to meet you and your kiddos! I’m Maria but children like using my nickname, Ria 😊 I've been in Portland for most of my life. I love it here, especially the proximity to all the natural beauty and the ocean. I'm a passionate hiker and always chasing the next waterfall. I have 20+ years of experience in childcare, from infants to teens. I have been co-parenting my young niece and nephew for 5 years, I was a foster mother for a year and I’ve cared for many other children through the years, so I have a wide range of experience. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing environment for children to experience their journeys. I encourage children to express themselves and explore the world through creation, imagination, playtime, activities, movement, games, singing, exploring nature, reading and most of all, FUN! I love a good little dance party. I will keep your child(ren) engaged during our time together! My belief is that children are simply young people exploring their way through this wonderful and sometimes challenging world. What an honor for us as adults to help guide them on their journeys. I am happy to prepare meals and clean up during my visit as it relates to your child’s care, but my priority is to focus on your child(ren) during our time together. I’m available for some house cleaning for an additional charge (at naptime or after bedtime, for example). I’m available for part time and occasional care, including overnight stays. I’m also available for pet and housesitting. I’m an excellent communicator and will keep you informed throughout your time away, as frequently or infrequently as you prefer. I have a reliable car, I’m punctual and I’m flexible if you need to be out later than planned (most times). Please reach out if you have any questions or special circumstances or requests. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi there! I'm a former elementary school teacher with a degree in Education and years of experience supporting children's growth both in and out of the classroom. I've worked with kids of all ages - from infants discovering the world for the first time to confident upper-elementary students developing independence and emotional awareness. Teaching gave me a deep understanding of child development, learning styles, and the power of connection, and those same values guide the way I care for children today. As both an educator and a mom, I know how much trust it takes to invite someone into your child's world. I bring calm, consistency, and creativity to every environment I'm in. I love planning activities that are meaningful and engaging - story time, nature walks, hands-on crafts, science experiments, or just baking something fun together. My approach is centered on nurturing curiosity, confidence, and kindness in every child I meet. Families describe me as reliable, intuitive, and warm-hearted. I balance structure and play, making sure children feel safe, heard, and happy while parents can fully relax knowing their little ones are in capable hands. Whether it's school pick-ups, bedtime routines, or full creative play days, I treat every child with the same care and respect I give my own daughter. Caring for kids isn't just something I do - it's truly what I love.
