Kaili Portland
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi Portland families! My name’s Kaili! (kay-lee). I work part time at an audiology clinic and am looking to supplement my employment with childcare, both for the income and the fun + engagement not always found in an office. I have experience with a wide range of ages (infancy - teens) and enjoy coming up with activities for enrichment such as art + craft projects, puzzles, sensory stations, board games, neighborhood walks, and story time. Also nothing wrong with a movie + pizza night sometimes :) I’m most consistently available Tuesdays and Thursdays but will consider all gigs, and can be flexible for ongoing care with the right family. Rates depend on age, activity, number of children etc. Looking forward to hearing from you, Thanks! Kaili

With a deep passion for working with children of all ages, I am eager to introduce myself as a dedicated and experienced caregiver. My extensive background, spanning over ten years, includes nannying, counseling, and coaching ultimate frisbee. This diverse experience has provided me with a unique perspective on nurturing both the physical and emotional well-being of children. My approach is centered on creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment that fosters their growth and development. Whether it involves supporting their educational needs, encouraging creative play, or assisting them in navigating various challenges, I am committed to providing a reliable and compassionate presence in their lives. As a coach, I have worked with children and teenagers, helping them develop not only their athletic skills but also their teamwork and leadership abilities. Coaching and nannying have instilled in me the importance of patience, encouragement, and fostering an environment that promotes a growth mindset. Prior to my current role, I worked as a wellness counselor for adolescents in recovery at Madrona Recovery.

"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)."
