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!

I have three years of experience working with children between the ages of 5 and 12 through both babysitting and volunteer work. During this time, I’ve gained hands-on knowledge of child safety, communication, and engagement strategies that help create a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, which gives me the confidence and skills to handle emergency situations calmly and effectively. I’m naturally outgoing, dependable, and hardworking. I take pride in being consistent and responsible. Whether I’m helping with homework, planning activities, or managing routines, I approach every task with care and attention. In addition to working with children, I’m also open to helping with household tasks or pet care as needed.

Hi there! My name is Anna and I'm a reporter living in Portland, Oregon. I used UrbanSitter while in college and post graduation, and am now returning after a couple of years working with a few families. I have nearly two years experience working in a daycare center in Portland, and spent 4 months assisting in a school for children with intellectual and physical disabilities abroad. I am very passionate about early childhood education and have worked with various organizations in my hometown on issues affecting youth. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your kids, whether you’re in town for a weekend or looking for regular evening care. Thanks for reading! Please note, I require 50% payment for same-day cancellations and for any time scheduled but not worked (i.e. returning earlier than scheduled end time). I am often flexible on end times, but I require 1.5x pay for late returns that aren’t mutually agreed to.

Hello :) I'm Shaikha. I have a very nurturing personality. I am a kind, compassionate, collected, soft-spoken, care-giving person. I have babysat for every age between 2 months and 11 years. I work day shifts and date night shifts. The safety of children is very important to me as well as easing the parents’ minds. Therefore, I am communicative and I am happy to text message parents important updates while they are out of the house. I am extremely respectful of every house I enter. I’m happy to answer any questions!

I have been a teacher for the past 16 years for students with specials needs. I have also worked for nanny agencies on call and had my own childcare facility for a year before moving to Maui. I now live in Portland and am available on call. I love children and have loads of experience as well as qualifications/credentials. I am reliable and show up on time. I clean and tidy up too.
