Sittercity helps Peaks Island families find the best babysitters

Hello! I am an experienced caregiver who has participated in childcare for over 22 years as a nanny, babysitter, and in center based environments. I have experience with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged kiddos; I have cared for children up to age 16. I have done numerous overnights for families, so I have experience with that! I put emphasis on learning through play, and, being a nature lover, try to find ways to incorporate nature in our activities. When with your child, we can sing, read, dance, do art projects, listen to music, go for walks, and take field trips to farms, the museum, playgrounds, and other fun places. I have taken child development classes, so I am pretty aware of where kids are developmentally. Respecting others is important to me, so I try to find teachable moments to convey this. I am first aid/CPR certified. I have reliable transportation, and consider myself to be very reliable as well. I am looking to work in Portland, or within 25 miles of it. I am also fully vaccinated and boosted.

Hello! I currently have 9 years of experience working with children with various needs and abilities. I graduated in 2020 with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education and am currently in school for my masters degree in Occupational Therapy. I am currently working in a specialized preschool for children with autism and developmental disorders. I am trained in CPR and First Aid and I also have all vaccines updated. I am very passionate about working with kids and love to meet new people! I am available after 5 on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I would be happy to FaceTime or meet in person before. Let me know if you have any questions thank you for viewing my profile!

Hi everyone! My name is Emma, and I am a 26-year-old pediatric speech therapist in Portland. I have about 13 years of experience babysitting. I also have experience caring for children with a variety of developmental disabilities and am always excited to learn more to support the kids I work with! My favorite thing to do with children I babysit is read with them. I also have a reliable SUV and a clean driving record. I am CPR and first aid certified. I look forward to talking with you :)

Hi! I’m a single mom of two boys 12 and 14. I was a teacher for many years but it didn’t work well with my kids needs. Looking for occasional babysitting and pet care throughout the summer!

Hello! My name is Anya, and I am a recent college graduate offering babysitting and pet sitting job services. I love babysitting and have been involved in childcare since I was 11 years old in a variety of capacities from nannying jobs, church childcare positions, and a nursery worker for ages 0-3. I have experiences with all age ranges as well as some experience with working with young children with Down Syndrome. Some responsibilities have included crafts, helping with homework, and transportation to/from school. As I am young, I can easily handle the energy of rambunctious children. I am very patient and am not fazed by temper tantrums. I am also CPR/First Aid certified for infants and adults. I love pets, especially dogs, and have cared for a wide range of animals including geckos and turtles.

Hi! I'm a 27-year-old with a master’s and doctorate in acupuncture, currently taking a step back from practicing. I’ve been working with families since I was 14—as a mother’s helper, babysitter, and later a nanny. I have nannied in MA and CO and the past few years and have great references. I also have experience dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting for several families. I'm happy to provide housekeeping, transportation, and meal prep as part of my care!

Hello Families! I am a conscious babysitter/nanny that loves to engage! My heart is full when I have a connection with both the parents and the children that I'm working with. My flexible schedule makes me available to do random babysits or to be your regular sitter. I bend to your needs. Need me to do some cooking, cleaning, shopping? You got it! Want your child to feel loved, supported and engaged? You've come to the right place!
