Elena $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Elena (I go by Ellie!)and I’m coming up on my 5th year in childcare. I have worked as a preschool teacher for two years and a (wobbler) daycare lead teacher for almost 3 years, as well as babysitting for families I connect with through my teaching. My passion is early childhood education and individualized care, I am always working towards learning more and training. I am CPR certified, have trained specifically for safe sleep, food handlers, and about to be a step six on the Oregon step registry. I am about halfway towards my CDA certification as well! I love to make art and music, hang out with my dog and learn random facts about whatever interests me at the moment! I’m a California transplant four years out and I’m still getting used to Portland fall and winter! 🌧️❄️

Kameron $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Kameron. I have lived in Portland for a little over 6 years and I love it here. I moved here to study art history at Lewis & Clark, and graduated in 2024. Although I have limited formal babysitting experience, I have spent the last two consecutive summers with a youth conservation organization, overseeing teenagers doing conservation work in the beautiful public lands of Oregon. Through this I have come to love making connections with youth, especially in nature. I have an active Wilderness First Responder and CPR certification, and am always looking to spend more time outside.

"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."

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)."
