Booked by 34 families in Portland, OR

Hello! :) My name is Nyah. I am 25 years old and located in downtown Portland area. I am a very reliable, experienced sitter and know the functions of this job very well due to 8 years of nannying experience as well as growing up with 2 younger brothers. I am CPR certified and also have experience as a postpartum doula’s assistant caring for newborns. I am very empathetic, caring, trustworthy, and reliable. I absolutely love working with kids because we can learn so much from them. It’s very rewarding seeing kids I watched as babies grow up and still keep that bond. While working I like doing activities that keep them entertained but also inspire their creativity and passion. I look forward to meeting your family! :)

Hello - My name is Beatriz Stewart, I have a major in Psychology with a focus on child development. My past responsibilities as a nanny have included driving to/from school, activities in and outside of the house, bathing and feeding. I am also available to cook and clean. I'm comfortable adjusting to any religious orientation, eating habits or teachings. And I'm very comfortable with dogs.

“Amazing! We lucked out and found Beatriz last minute and a full two months later we couldn't be happier. She is professional, attentive, supportive of things we want to try as parents, and a great communicator. We trust her with our baby girl and can relax knowing she is in safe hands. Highly recommend.”

Booked by 2 families in Portland, OR

Hi! I’ve spent 10+ years working with children in a variety of settings, including preschool classrooms, K-5th afterschool care settings, a behavioral + mental health facility for children, cared for infants as a nanny, and helped out at various camps over the years. I’m offering childcare, pet care, and light household help on a part-time basis. I’m looking for some extra hours and would love to help out families in need of flexible, reliable support.

“Megan is great. She connected with my child immediately and they were both ready to play.”

Booked by 4 families in Portland, OR

Hi my name is Nina. I am from Hood River and have a huge love for the outdoors. I grew up playing in the yard and in nature and I could spend all day outside. I just graduated college and am in school for nursing right now. I am very observant and have a great attention to detail. I am responsible and respectful and I am always eager to keep learning. I am also good with math and numbers so I am there to help with some homework if needed! I have babysat since I was 13 and I was a nanny all throughout high school and some way into college. I would take them to the beach, to the pool, to parks, drop them off at camp and cook and clean up around the house. I am also happy to run any errands. I am comfortable around animals and I love cats.

"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)."
