Tiffany $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! I'm beginning my search for a new nanny position and would love to connect with a great family! I bring 14 years of experience working with several long-term families and am CPR certified. I also have a reliable SUV, making school pickups, outings, and adventures easy and safe. I'm a mom of two: my 2-year-old son joins me during the day, and my 5-year-old daughter is in kindergarten. Both of my children love making new friends and have blended beautifully into past nanny settings. My approach is play-based, hands on, and centered around creating a fun, engaging environment where children can learn through real life experiences. We spend lots of time outdoors, rain or shine (as any Oregon family understands!) exploring parks, nature trails, and staying active. If you think we might be a good fit, I'd love to connect and chat more! 😊

Mariel $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

Hi, I'm Mariel and I would love to help you and your family! I am currently 28 years old and live in Beaverton. In recent years, I've been a nanny for children ranging from newborns to middle schoolers. I have nannied for about 6 years and have always had a passion for kids! My most recent nanny opportunity was with a 10 month old girl (started at 6 months) and sometimes her 3 year old brother. I feel comfortable working with multiple children at once. I love playing with the kids and helping them grow! I have my own car so transportation would never be a problem and I am also CPR and first aid certified. I'd love to hear back from you! Thank you! Mariel

Anna $25 per hour for 1 child

With over 20 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-age kids. I have years of experience with twins and have a knack for keeping routines running smoothly while making sure each child feels seen and loved. I'm patient, dependable, and safety minded, and I bring warmth, creativity, and fun to every day, whether it's feeding and nap schedules, play based learning, homework help, or after school activities. I communicate openly with parents and treat every child as if they were my own. I'd love to hear about your family's needs and see how I can help!

Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

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. Through spending time with them, I realized the joy I felt in helping them discover new things! I enjoy playing games with them, doing crafts, and going outside. 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. I have been pet sitting for 3 years now and love spending time with pets!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
