Maleny 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

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.

I have seen Maleny take care of infants and toddlers throughout the year. She’s incredibly patient with the kids and engaging. Maleny likes take kids on walks, play dates, parks, hikes, shopping, and libraries. She will ensure they are safe, active, and healthy. She provides all the daily care and support a family could need. Maleny is experienced, dependable, and observant. I recommend her to all my friends and family for childcare needs.

Madison 1 review
$19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Portland, OR

Hi, I'm Madison and I'm a fun, reliable, and caring person who's passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported. I've spent the last six years working with children in all kinds of settings - as a babysitter and a Live-In Nanny. Those experiences have taught me how to balance structure with fun, keep routines running smoothly, and handle any situation with patience and understanding. I'm also a U. S. Army veteran, so being on time, dependable, and organized is second nature to me. I love creating activities that are both educational and exciting for kiddos whether it's crafts, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework. If you're looking for someone who's responsible, upbeat, and great at connecting with kids, I'd love to help your family out!

Ashlyn $19 per hour for 1 child

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.

"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)."
