Greetings lovely family, My name is Amber-Avenira, most people call me Avi :) With over a decade as a live-in & live-out nanny, including many years with a private nanny agency, I have enjoyed learning about a variety of lifestyles and parenting approaches including Montessori, RIE, positive reinforcement and more. With my bag of toys, gentle smile and warm sense of humor I am comfortable and confident in connecting with kids of all ages. And happy to support your family with anything you need. I work part time as a music teacher at a local music school, which keeps my schedule fairly open to continue supporting families as I've enjoyed doing most of my life. My beliefs strongly center around the "It Takes a Village" mindset, and I feel this is more important nowadays than ever before. We aren't meant to raise our families alone, it can really make a difference connecting with another person every now and then. So it is a great honor to be included in your village, even for a day. And my pleasure to be of service to you and your little one(s). I've included a few reviews from families I have worked with in the past. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all. I look forward to speaking with you soon! -Avi Heather You are very calm and give my children great attention. You play creatively with them and engage them in activities they're really interested in. . . Of course we want our children to be safe, have fun and be nurtured for who they are. You've been a great fit for that! Emily You treat children with respect and take them seriously, but also have fun with them. You pay attention to them and see them as individuals. Heather + Adam What most stands out is the engagement you had with the various developmental stages and creative needs of our children. We never returned to fussy children...they were always so content. Elisa My kids love you! You’re enthusiastic, kind, fun and you’re reliable. I also appreciate your punctuality. You receive requests and notes in a wonderful way. Kaitlyn You are so engaged and always come ready to play and meet her wherever she is at- happy, sad- you hold space for all of it and I am grateful :)

Booked by 3 families in Gresham, OR

Services -House Cleaning -Childcare I have been providing childcare for children aged 2 to 14 for many years, primarily for my older siblings. Along with my extensive hands-on experience, I also have a background in teaching children’s art, and horse back riding for a reading and riding experimental learning program back in my home town in CA. I’m passionate about keeping children entertained and engaged in creative activities, and I enjoy introducing them to new forms of art. I’m also well-versed in following bedtime routines and have experience with overnight childcare, always making sure children feel safe and comfortable. If you’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic, reliable, and great with kids, I’d love to help!

ā€œEleanor is amazing. We're going to have her back on a regular basis. Everything is really clean!ā€

Booked by 47 families in Gresham, OR

Hey there! My name's Charlee and I've been a caregiver for over 5 years. I am great with all ages but i specialize in infants and toddlers. I also work with a childcare agency and abide by their guidelines and rules in my freelance work. For example, I do not allow television unless specified by the parent. The children and myself will spend time doing activities. I am an artist so I like do do activities that use our imagination and creativity. I am also a tutor so please specify if you would like me to help with certain homework or specific activities like reading or speech. I do light cleaning, cooking and laundry if needed. Please note that if you have your rate posted as ā€œbased on experienceā€ and it is lower than my base rate of $17 when I get accepted for the job I will be canceling the job and not accepting a rebooking. This happens way too often and is unfair to sitters. Thank you for your understanding.

Booked by 6 families in Gresham, OR

Hi there, I’m Corinne! I believe that creative play is integral to a happy life so being able to facilitate that for kids who are just discovering each new medium is a dream come true. I have a BFA in Studio Art from Western Washington University and have spent the past two years working at arts-centered preschools where I lead weekly projects for the students. Their fresh approaches and willingness to experiment are incredibly inspiring for me. I love babysitting and nannying because it gives me the opportunity to work one on one with kids which isn't always possible in a preschool environment. I have always been an avid reader and find a lot of joy in reading stories with children.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
