Olivia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a therapist who works with tween/teen girls and I recently moved to Portland. I love spending time with girls ages 6–18 and am available for after-school or before school rides, homework structure support, and evening help. My speciality is mentoring and supporting girls in their emotional development, friendship world, regulation, and self confidence! Before becoming a therapist, I nannied for many families and have a lot of experience working with children and teenagers, supporting families and am still in touch with many of them! I’m not looking for full-time nannying but would love to support local families here and there or find a weekly position with a smaller amount of hours. Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

Declan $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible and caring person with camp counselor experience! I think children deserve to be heard, and their needs met. I am a relaxed stabilizing presence for my campers, and am good at turning any situation into a positive experience. Positive forms of learning and personal connection matter a lot to me. Additionally I have experience with Nero divergent (OCD and On the spectrum) children. I am watchful and entertaining for the young ones! I am mostly used to managing larger groups of campers, but my best moments have always been with smaller groups or individual campers, listening to feelings and resolving problems! I've done care for younger children ages less than 1 - 3 for relatives outside of my camp experience. I think what matter's most at that age is fostering a secure relationship with the outside world, and I am frankly just fascinated to watch them learn! Please let me know if I could help your family! I am fully vaccinated and boosted. LGBT families are welcome, I am LGBT!

Tim $20 per hour for 1 child

Howdy! My name is Tim and I'm thrilled at the opportunity to work with you and your child(ren). I was born in Central Oregon and have lived in Portland for about 12 years (with a few stints in North Carolina. I graduated from Lewis & Clark College in 2012 with a degree in Rhetoric & Media Studies and a minor in Art/Art History. I have worked with children in many capacities throughout the years. Starting when I was 15 as a sitter to two toddlers, I have worn many hats since then. From swim instructor to recess coach, to 2nd grade teacher to Montessori PE teacher, I love finding joy and celebrating it! Currently I work as Assistant Dean of Admission at Reed College, but I will be leaving my job soon to begin school at PSU for a Masters in Sustainability Education. In my personal time, I love hanging out with my partner Anna and our dog Otter, playing my guitar in one of my loud rock bands, finding new hiking trails throughout Oregon, and searching for the next best sandwich to share!
