"Katrina watched our son while we were in town for a wedding. She was timely, so nice and sent great pictures throughout the evening. He looked like he was having more fun than we were!"

Grace $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Grace and I recently finished my Master's Degree in Teaching alongside my elementary teaching license. This year I student taught in a 4th grade classroom :) I am located in NE Portland near Irving Park. I have a dog and love all animals. I am also primarily vegan, but am comfortable making dishes that include meat for your kiddos if desired! I will be available until the beginning of the school year, around the end of August. I grew up watching my many cousins, and have years of experience babysitting with kids from 1yrs old to 10yrs old. I can change diapers, cook, clean, and bottle feed. I love spending time outside, being active, and making art. These are all things I'd love to do with your kids as well. Thank you for considering letting me spend time getting to know you and your children.

Aussie $25 per hour for 1 child
Stay at home Mom of two kids. One 8-year-old and a 1-year-old. Very active and hands-on with at home creativity and learning projects. Very patient. Very attentive to children and their needs. I value structure and a routine to help the children get everything they need throughout the day from learning to play to nap times. I try not to encourage screen time and would much rather have them play outside or do arts and crafts. Very loving and kind to pets as well. I've had pets my whole life and having to care for them as well as work in a veterinarian clinic.
Patricia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I am a retired teacher, mother and grandmother. I am a pet lover as well and would be happy to walk the dog or cuddle with the cat. I am quite active and swim 5 days a week. Most of my teaching experience was in elementary and I also taught art, so I could tutor and help your child with their homework. Any questions, feel free to ask!
Sherene $25 per hour for 1 child
I have been caregiving for most of my life and was taught to value my elders since childhood. I work as an LPN, 24 hrs a week. Covid really took the joy out of nursing for me. I could pick up hours at my current job but I’m seeking the ability to spend time and make a difference one on one. I am kind, responsible, and hard working. What I’m not looking for is the pressure of patient ratio’s, massive charting, rushing through care for the sake of the almighty dollar.
