Hi- My names Mai. I came back from teaching in Tokyo 4 years ago now. I've been working with kids from around 14 which is when I started babysitting and teaching abacus. I've been teaching abacus both in person and online for the past 10+ years but it's fun to watch kids outside an educational environment. I'm fluent in Japanese and English and am always down for outdoor adventures like swimming, biking, berry picking, or just going to the park. But I can always enjoy a good book or movie. I work 8-5 as a PM during the weekday but I’m free outside of those hours if you have a concert or date night. Hopefully, I'm able to offer some assistance to you outside of these hours. you for your understanding and reading this far!

Mai was amazing with our daughter! She showed up on time, communicated well throughout, and had a very calming presence. Our daughter really enjoyed the time with her and my wife and I felt at ease while we were out. Would definitely recommend!

Services -House Cleaning -Childcare I have been providing childcare for children aged 2 to 14 for many years, primarily for my older siblings. Along with my extensive hands-on experience, I also have a background in teaching children’s art, and horse back riding for a reading and riding experimental learning program back in my home town in CA. I’m passionate about keeping children entertained and engaged in creative activities, and I enjoy introducing them to new forms of art. I’m also well-versed in following bedtime routines and have experience with overnight childcare, always making sure children feel safe and comfortable. If you’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic, reliable, and great with kids, I’d love to help!

Eleanor is amazing. We're going to have her back on a regular basis. Everything is really clean!

Booked by 4 families in Portland, OR

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.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
