Hello! My name is Andrea. I've been professionally working for different childcare organizations and schools for over 15 years now. I have experience working with children of all ages, including toddlers and infants in both an educational and non-educational setting. In college I would babysit/nanny to supplement my student loans. I enjoyed the flexibility of the schedule as well as getting to work with different families. I graduated with a bachelor’s in Physical Activity and Exercise, Health Sciences, and a Master’s in Education. I taught full time for Portland Public Schools for 8 years but have recently decided to explore other career options. I love playing outdoors and being active, but I'm a native Oregonian so I also enjoy rainy day activities when I'm restricted to the indoors. I’m a good cook and leave a clean kitchen when done. *I’m up to date on COVID and Flu shots. Hope to hear from you!

Hi my name is Sam (they/them/ any pronouns) and I bring over five years of hands-on childcare experience and a truly heartfelt approach to the families I support. I have worked as a live-in nanny, assistant teacher, and even a lice technician, giving myself a well-rounded, practical skill set and a calm confidence in a variety of situations. In addition to childcare. I currently work part-time as a hairstylist while continuing their passion for nannying. I have experience supporting both adults and children with disabilities and neurodivergent needs. As someone who is neurodivergent myself , I bring deep empathy, understanding, and patience into their work. Families often appreciate my naturally calm presence, gentle demeanor, and their ability to create a safe, steady environment for children to thrive. Sam has cared for children ranging from 3-month-old infants to 13-year-olds and genuinely loves engaging with kids at every stage. Sam is creative, enjoys imaginative and pretend play, and meets children where they are — honoring their personalities, emotions, and developmental needs along the way. Clear, open communication is very important to me. I value honesty and collaboration with families and believes strong partnerships are built through trust and transparency. Above all, I truly love working with children and building meaningful, lasting connections with the families they support. I would be delighted to connect and answer any questions you may have.

Sam sat my two dogs (14 week old puppy and an 8 year old). Sam listened well when I was giving instructions about my care preferences. Sam took them for a walk and was attentive to their needs for the time Sam was taking care of them. I will definitely work with Sam again!

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!

Hi there! I have a bachelors in both English and Social Justice from Dominican University of California, and am currently a JD Candidate at Lewis &Clark Law School. I grew up watching my siblings before moving on to paid jobs with family friends and cousins, and when I started college I started nannying more seriously. When I lived in LA, I worked with several different families for small weekly jobs and worked with one family four to five days a week, taking their four kids to numerous activities and after school events. Since moving to Portland two years ago, I spent the last year and a half nannying for a family with 10 year old twins. I have experience working with infants up to 12 years old, and after tutoring high school kids I’m sure I could handle teenagers as well. Let me know if I can answer any questions, I can’t wait to work with you!

Kids loved her. My older son said he wanted her to babysit for “30 weeks”

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
