I am an all around loving woman who loves to be of any help. I have been working with children all my life and have been babysitting since I was 13. I studied early childhood development at Portland Community College before moving on to Northwest Nannies where I became a certified professional nanny. i have work experience in a certified home daycare where I helped care for 12 children four of which were under 2. I'm pretty easy to get along with and just love to laugh and play with children. I love taking children on fun field trips to the zoo, , the park, or I let them pick as long as its a reasonable place. I have a safe insured reliable vehicle, with a pretty good driving record. I love to also sit and do crafts with the children and even will come up with fun and easy cooking projects to do with them.

Pam has been helping us out with our 7yr old daughter multiple times a week for several months. Pam meets our daughter at the bus stop and ensures she gets home safely after school. Pam is always on time, very dependable and trustworthy. Pam knows how to interact with kids and meets them where they are at. We are super thankful for Pam and will continue to have her help us care for our daughter.

I have babysat for many friends and families over the past 7 years, before and after school, on weekends and consistently throughout the summer. I also worked in a daycare, part-time during high-school, interacting and taking care of children starting as young as 2 months old. I love going on adventures, playing sports, being outside, trying new & creative things, baking/ cooking as well as working together and using an imagination to have fun! I have enjoyed getting to know all of the families that I have been lucky enough to care for and I'm excited to get to meet new people and any animals/pets are a bonus! :) I am currently going to school in Portland for nursing, but looking for some occasional sitting within the area to fit in my schedule!

I’m from the East Coast and moved to Portland two years ago and live outside Ladds Edition. I’m an experienced nanny and went to school at Western Kentucky University for special education. I am also an experienced petsitter and was a veterinary technician for five years I absolutely love spending time with kids and watching them grow. I refuse to lose my child like wonder. I am fulfilled when I see that I have had an impact on a child’s life. I grew up in a dysfunctional family. I know what it is like to have been astruggling child, but I’ve used it in a positive light. I think it is an honor and a privilege to interact with a child and be a light in their lives . I love art, crafts, playing outside and being active with the kids! Painting, Gardening, Animals and anything outside

Kristen was absolutely wonderful and intuitive to what our kids and pets alike needed/wanted, during her stay. She was on-time (early), prepared, and even brought some toys for the dogs. During her stay, she instantly won the love and trust of both the kids and pets. Kristen has been the only stranger that our husky has met who was able to immediately earn her trust (dogs know!). Kristen was absolutely phenomenal with our autistic son, and paid him the "extra" attention he needed. My kids now consistently ask us when "Auntie K" is coming over to play with them next. The honest answer: is whenever we require a sitter, moving forward. We will absolutely continue to reach out to Kristen anytime we need a sitter, and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing a reliable, respectful, kind, professional sitter!

Hi! I'm a 25 year old artist, student, and experienced child care provider. I have spent 10+ years working with families as their sitter/nanny, in overnight camps, in day camps, and with after school programs. Working with kids and giving the next generation a sturdy, supportive foundation is one of my passions and greatest joys. Families looking for a nanny or sitter who have LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent members will have priority with me because I have lived experience in these areas and can empathetically relate. I know it can be hard for these families to find child care providers, and all kids deserve excellent caretakers. I also identify as nonbinary and have ADHD & ASD (think Amelia Bedelia-- she was a hard worker but just needed clear communication)! I prefer meeting families and doing a working interview before agreeing to any long-term arrangement! Thank you for your time, and I hope you're having a great day. UPDATE 2/17/26: Currently looking for an occasional (1-2x/month) babysitting arrangement in NE Portland, ideally near the King neighborhood. Have you been wanting a dedicated regular date night with your partner? Let's chat!

Bringing joy and nurturing young minds is my passion. For the past four years, I've happily cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. My positive babysitting experiences inspired me to support families by providing reliable childcare. I am patient, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities with children. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I am comfortable caring for up to five children and enforcing household rules. I provide regular updates to parents through their preferred method, whether it's verbal communication or via text. I can assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I am a confident driver and LOVE pets! Ultimately, I strive to make a positive impact on each child's life, and I would love to bring my positive energy and vast experience to your family!

I have been babysitting on and off throughout my entire life. I watched, played with and drove my own sister in my teens (we're 7 years apart) and now as an adult have watched her children (my nephews) from infanthood to preteen years. I also babysat for friends and acquaintances in my late teens and early 20s. I love playing make believe games with kids and reading stories together. (I'm a budding children's author.) Their sense of wonder and joy are so fun to be a part of. Being a caring constant in a child's life is so important for their short and long-term development. Every baby and child deserves to feel safe and loved by the responsible adults around them and I want to be a part of that support system. I went to Medical Assisting school in 2011 and learned a little about early childhood development and psychology. As a phlebotomist for 10 years, I was proficient in: allaying fears, making people feel seen and heard, being punctual and reliable, communicating to the patient's care team when any concerns came up, being empathetic in care, first aid and CPR, advocating for my patients, and teaching mindful breathing exercises to anxious people of all ages. I believe all of these things can apply to caring for infants and children, especially in assisting your children in feeling seen, valued, and understood. I try to establish reasonable and age-appropriate boundaries with kindness and respect. I would love to help you run a successful and happy household by supporting you in child care.

Hello families! My name is Vitoria, and I bring both professional experience in early childhood care and a genuine love for nurturing little ones. I currently work as a childcare provider at a daycare, where I care for toddlers around 3–30 months old, helping them grow, explore, and thrive in a safe and joyful environment. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I love creating engaging activities, from music and playtime to reading and gentle routines that build comfort and trust. My goal is always to provide a sense of stability, safety, and joy, so that children feel cared for and parents feel at ease. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, and sharing stories and songs with little ones. I also speak Portuguese and English fluently, and I’m currently learning French, which can bring an extra fun, multicultural touch to care. I would be honored to support your family with childcare that combines responsibility, warmth, and genuine dedication.
