10+ years of child care and education experience in home, classroom, and childcare facility settings. I have experience with special needs and senior care.

Hi, I’m Tess! I’ve been caring for kids for over 10 years, from energetic toddlers to busy teens. I also spent 3 years as a camp counselor and wilderness guide, where I led groups of girls into the Boundary Waters and taught outdoor skills, independence, and teamwork. Those experiences gave me a deep love for supporting kids as they learn, grow, and build confidence. Alongside childcare, I work as a household manager — keeping schedules organized, prepping meals, running errands, and making sure the home runs smoothly day to day. Families I’ve worked with appreciate that I’m reliable, creative, and calm under pressure, whether it’s helping with homework, keeping routines on track, or planning fun activities. I’m also preparing to attend grad school in child psychology, with the goal of specializing in adolescent development. Caring for children isn’t just a job for me — it’s part of the path I’ve chosen for my career and future.

I have worked in the health and wellness field for over 19 years and am a proud parent of 8-year-old twins. Caring for others has always been a central part of my life — both professionally and personally. I have supported several elderly family members over the years and understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care. I enjoy creating engaging, enriching environments for children through outdoor activities like nature walks and hikes, as well as board games, puzzles, music, and arts and crafts. I hold an undergraduate degree in music and love incorporating singing and simple instruments into playtime. Cooking is another passion of mine, and I enjoy preparing healthy snacks and involving children in simple meal preparation to build confidence and life skills. I am also a lifelong animal lover. My first job at 16 was working at a veterinary clinic kennel, and I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I am attentive, responsible, and genuinely enthusiastic about animal care. I am currently working part-time and am seeking caregiving opportunities to support families, seniors, and pets with dependable, compassionate care.

Hi there! I'm Julia. I have a wide variety of experience working with kids of all ages, ranging from infants to adolescents. I spent three years as a skills trainer in psychiatric residential and secure inpatient services supporting kids with severe behavioral and emotional symptoms. My roles included teaching coping skills, co-regulation techniques, medication administration, facilitating therapeutic groups and activities, and more. I've worked in early childhood education, emphasizing play-based learning, with kids aged 2-5. I've also supported families with babysitting young children and infants. A little about me- Born and raised in the SF Bay Area, I moved to Oregon for undergrad and have called it home ever since. I value time spent in the outdoors and exploring the many treasurable woodsy spaces surrounding the Portland area. I love to cook nutritious meals and nourish myself with lots of tea. I have a passion for working with the fluid and curious minds of kids and intend to continue my career with this population. I'm currently in a graduate program working towards my Master's in Social work at PSU. I'm in school full time starting the end of September with Thursdays-Sundays available. I have open availability for the month of September.

Hi there! I’m Stef! I love connecting with others and making a positive impact on the world. I have experience teaching as a substitute, 1 on 1 and paraprofessional. I also have experience in being a direct support for children with autism. I have taught all ages of children with a focus on elementary. I’m happy to help when needed in creating a comforting atmosphere. I also love gardening, cooking, creating art, being outdoors and my pet cat!
