Kristi 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

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!

“Kristi was my children's favorite daycare/preschool teacher! My children are now 7 and 3 years old, and Kristi cared for them from ages 3 years and 3 months, respectively. Kristi was quick to establish a trusting relationship with both children. She fostered bonds through play, kindness, and sensitivity to each child’s personality and needs. Kristi was always the first to offer engagement and comfort when we walked through the door in the morning. Her proactive, upbeat attitude always helped make transitions easier on everyone and won the kids over in the process. We always felt secure leaving our infant in Kristi’s capable and experienced hands. We also appreciated Kristi’s consistent and clear communication. She was our best source for funny anecdotes about our kids, issues that we should track at home, photos of the kids’ daily activities, and generally keeping us in the loop. We are so grateful to have had Kristi be there with our kids and for our kids over the past four years- we highly recommend her!”

Booked by 3 families in Happy Valley, OR

Hi there! My name is Ray. I’ve worked in a variety of non-traditional and traditional education settings for over a decade. My favorite experience was being a camp counselor at Camp Tamarack, I loved how learning outside made kids more engaged with the material and each other. It means a lot to me to connect children with to the nature near them, especially since I was born and raised in Oregon. Besides that, I’ve worked mostly in nursery and early childhood education settings. I also really value reading, at every age. Going to the library is one of my favorite things to do in Portland! I would be happy to help you and yours get to picnicking at local parks with new books in hand. I also firmly believe in sliding scale payments. Your budget should not restrict you from having high quality, compassionate care.

Hi! My name's Rachel, I am 23, and I am a graduate from Clackamas Community College. I have some experience watching over the young children of friends and family.

I have taken classes on safe sleep, water safety, foundations for learning, recognizing and reporting abuse, and health and safety. I am up to date on vaccines including Covid and flu. Though I lack professional experience, I am passionate about working with kids and am hoping to gain experience. I am also a current dog owner who has grown up with both dogs and cats.

"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)."
