Hi there! My name is Ray. I’ve worked in a variety of non-traditional and traditional education settings for over a decade. My favorite experience was being a camp counselor at Camp Tamarack, I loved how learning outside made kids more engaged with the material and each other. It means a lot to me to connect children with to the nature near them, especially since I was born and raised in Oregon. Besides that, I’ve worked mostly in nursery and early childhood education settings. I also really value reading, at every age. Going to the library is one of my favorite things to do in Portland! I would be happy to help you and yours get to picnicking at local parks with new books in hand. I also firmly believe in sliding scale payments. Your budget should not restrict you from having high quality, compassionate care.

I love being a mom to 2 girls ages 11 and 18. I am up to date on all vaccines, and first aid/CPR certified, and have had lots of experience driving with car seats,kids. My kids are now back in school so I have lots of time to give to other families who may need help. I’ve nannied in the past for all ages(newborn through middle school). I try to find what sparks curiosity and joy in kids and then help them grow their interests in that subject. I like to engage with them via nature, music, art, cooking, and cultural activities. I’m comfortable being with family pets, helping with household chores when able. I am confident that I can offer you a reliable caring sitter for your child and/or children.

“Elfina has helped care for our kids since they were babies. We have two very active boys and she is so engaging and fun with them. They stay active and they learn so much. She is dependable and our kids love her. We continually ask for her and highly recommend her for caring for your kids.”

"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)."
