Find nannies in Portland, OR

Hello! My name is Amanda, but many people know me as Bambi. I moved to Los Angeles from Kentucky several years ago and have built my life around caregiving roles—as a nanny, caregiver, and server. I have recently relocated to Oregon, and love it so much! I've always had a nurturing, empathetic presence, and I find deep fulfillment in supporting and enriching the lives of others, especially children. I bring creativity and joy into my caregiving, especially through music—one of my greatest passions. With a background in music, I love incorporating singing, rhythm, and playful learning into my time with kids. I also absolutely love animals! I have experience as a daycare attendant at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities. Whether it’s children or pets, I take pride in being attentive, gentle, and tuned in to their needs. I grew up with a strong example in my own home—my mom has been a kindergarten teacher for over 20 years. Being raised by an educator gave me a deep appreciation for child development, structure, and the value of patient, supportive care.

Hey there! My name is Maleny, I’m 28 yo and I’m from Mexico. Fully bilingual and living in SW Portland. I have lots of experience with children: I’ve worked as a gymnastics teacher, dance instructor, at a daycare and as a babysitter. My first year in Oregon I worked as an Aupair. I lived with the family and worked for them. I took care of an adorable baby girl from 4 to 16 months and up to now we’re still best friends. I was in charge of feeding her bottles, introducing new food, play time, baths, taking her out, nap-time and daily learnings. I also have experience with a wider range of ages all the way to 8 years old. I consider myself as patient, loving and proactive. I respect your way of raising your kids so I’ll follow your direction, but im also self motivated and can also come with ideas to share with your family. I’m very much of loving and respecting the kid’s feelings at the same time as setting boundaries and having learning moments.

Hi! My name is Ashlyn, and I just graduated with a B.S. in psychology from Santa Clara University. I grew up helping take care of my younger brothers, including one who is nine years younger than me, so babysitting has always felt very natural to me. I’m patient, responsible, and love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for kids. I’m also very comfortable around pets! I love both dogs and cats and have one dog and two cats at home, so I’m happy to help with families who have pets as well. I would love the opportunity to support your family and make sure your children feel cared for and engaged while you’re away.

Hi my name is Yelena I grew up in a multicultural family where I learned the importance of responsibility, kindness, and helping others. From a young age, my mother taught me how to keep things clean and organized, and I also learned to cook and enjoy preparing meals for others. I’m a great listener, always willing to support the people around me, and I bring a positive attitude to everything I do. As a mom, I have a 17-year-old who is graduating this year, a 5-year-old son with autism who has taught me patience and understanding, and a very energetic 3-year-old. Through raising my children, I’ve gained hands-on experience with different ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy caring for others—whether it’s children, seniors, or helping with everyday tasks

I am a high school graduate who is currently looking for work with babysitting, because I spent a lot of my childhood doing it unpaid, in that my parents would often visit their friends and bring me along, but I was always 5-6 years older than all of their friends children, so I would end up as the childcare person for the duration of their parties. I’ve always been naturally good at getting along with children, and I have lots of experience with them thanks to the aforementioned parent gatherings. I am looking to go to college next year, where I will be earning a teaching degree before applying to become an elementary school teacher, so I figured that babysitting would be a great part time job to help me get better at interacting with children and childcare situations before I dedicate my life to it. I hope that we can work together and have a good, trusting relationship, parents!
