Jae $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

Hello! I’m an enigmatic, expressive and passionate personality. I’m a fan of boundaries, co-regulation, parks, libraries, field-trips, and kitchen science experiments. I am passionate about swimming lessons, and really love taking kids to practice their skills! I started babysitting at a young age, taking safe sitter, first aid & CPR classes every summer at the local hospital until I graduated high school. If I could freely acquire degrees for free, I would be heavily credentialed in Peds Occupational Therapy and early childhood behavior. Professionally, I have worked for over 17 years in roles related to social services, nannying, job training support and placement for youth and adults with disabilities, as well as caretaking in assisted living and memory care. I am current on all of my CPR/AED classes. I am very confident in my abilities to assess and respond to emergencies including infant choking, first aid and CPR considerations. I am also familiar with basic medical equipment and disability or high-risk needs and procedures involving transfers, toileting, and various situations naturally occurring with potty training, elopement, TBI, night time anxiety and panic disorders, and more! I also possess a current QMHFA certificate for those with mental health considerations.

Michele $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Michele, and I graduated with my BS in Human Development with a focus in Early Childhood Education and a specialty of Teaching Young Children with Special Needs. I have taught infants to preschool age children, with my last educational position as a Lead Teacher in an Infant/Toddler room for Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. I am a mother of 3 (adult) children (31, 29 & 23). I am currently employed as a full-time Nanny to a 4 year old and a 13 month old here in Portland, OR. PLEASE NOTE: I am only looking for positions in the SW Hills, NW Hills/Nob Hill, Pearl or downtown areas. I will not be available to begin a new position until September of 2026. I bring extensive experience educationally, professionally, and personally. **ADDITIONAL SKILLS: Integrative Wellness Stylist and Coach with over 15 years of practice (both full & part-time - currently not practicing). Also, I have a background as a Personal Chef with a focus on whole foods. (I am not offering this service at this time; however, I would consider a full-time menu development, shop, prep & preparation of meals position - this is its own position, and not in addition to a Nanny Position). I am excellent at true home keeping that is in addition to your separate house cleaning service for daily, clutter-free upkeep (also a service that is not in addition to a Nanny position). We moved from Northern New England a little over 5 years ago, I am well traveled, enjoy being physically active, I dabble in watercolor art, and enjoy exploring our wonderful city, and PNW in general. I am happy to provide my resume. Cheers, Michele (Chele)

"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)."
