I enjoy time with kids so much, specially with little ones. I speak Spanish, English and basic French. Also, I am an outdoor person and I really love arts, specially singing! I used to be an AuPair in Beaverton for 1 year and 7 months. I watched three kids: a 10 months-old, a 3.5 years-old and a 5.5 years-old. I was in charge of waking them up, preparing meals, make sure they brush their teeth, preparing baby’s bottle, changing diapers, dropping off and picking up the older ones to school, takings them to the park to play, setting playdates with friends, to the library, potty training, teaching the little one to speak (I used to speak to him Spanish and he understood very well!) and to walk. It was an amazing experience! I left and dedicated myself to my career (I got a bachelors degree in Mass communication) around the world: Mexico, Venezuela and Spain. I just came back to the US and my previous host family received me to stay while I set everything up here. The younger kid is now 7 years-old! Before coming to Beaverton I spent a month in Chicago, since my sister lives there and I took care of 2 siblings: a 3 years old girl and a 8 years old boy. I can give you references and my resume. I was a full-time nanny of two great boys for two years, since they were less than 3 months and 11 months. I’m currently babysitting for several families for date nights. I’m available on weekends, evenings and early morning for drop off at school (and maybe pick up, depending on the area the time).

Ariana was fantastic. She’s got great energy and my kids didn’t even say goodbye when I left; they were too busy playing with Ariana already ? The kids are excited to have her come back. She handled everything well- from playing to handling typical sibling conflicts to a never ending tuck-in.

Hello, I’m a fun energetic 29 year old caregiver who has worked with children for the past 17 years. Originally I started babysitting for friends and neighbors, the children typically ranging from infants to early childhood. More recently I worked as a full time live-in nanny for one sweet boy, occasional sitter for multiple children including twins, and part time care for a sweet 2 month old. I have flexible availability, reliable transportation, love to do crafts, am comfortable in and around water, and am CPR and first aid certified. I’m happy to answer any questions that you might have and I can’t wait to meet you and your child(ren)!

Hi! I'm a 26 year old artist 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. I prioritize families who have LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent members because I have lived experience in these areas and can empathetically relate. I also know it can be hard for these families to find child care providers, and all kids deserve excellent caretakers. I 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.

Hi there! My name is Lhamo, and I am a nanny with over 25 years of experience caring for children, especially infants and toddlers, with many references available. I live in the SE Woodstock neighborhood of Portland and have worked with more than 10 families over the years. I am also a mother of three whom I raised while working as a nanny. My oldest son is 28 and recently graduated from NYU graduate school, my 22-year-old son transferred from the U.S. Naval Academy and now attends Oregon State University’s Honors College, and my youngest daughter is 17 and in her senior year of high school. I’ve always wanted to pursue teaching, and being a nanny has allowed me to do that in my own way. I enjoy reading with children, playing, taking them outside and to the neighborhood park, and helping them develop their language, communication, and social skills. I speak Mandarin Chinese and Tibetan fluently and studied economics in college. I especially enjoy watching children learn, become more independent, and develop their own personalities as they grow. Having raised three children of my own and cared for many others, I’ve learned a lot about the different stages children and families go through. I enjoy building a good relationship with parents, sharing my experience when it is helpful, and working together on routines, behavior, communication, and their child’s overall growth and development. I believe open communication between parents and caregivers makes a big difference. I am also happy to help with light cleaning and folding laundry. My preferred schedule is around 8:00/8:30 AM to 3:30/4:00 PM. I’ve found that this works best for my family at home while also giving the children I care for a good daily balance of learning, playing, outdoor time, meals, and naps. After more than 25 years, I continue being a nanny because I genuinely enjoy caring for children, teaching them, watching them grow, and becoming close with the families I work with. It has been a very meaningful part of my life.

Lhamo has been our nanny for the last 4 years and we love having her. She is very good with both kids and especially good with babies and toddlers. She is very creative in her play with the children, having them use their imaginations. She is very kind and nurturing and the children love her. She focuses on them, playing with them at the park. feeding them healthy snacks and making sure they keep their routines. Lhamo also loves being outdoors and takes the kids outside every day, rain or shine. She helped us immensely over the years, helping us with sleep schedules, creating routines and even potty training. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, I would say Lhamo has met that criteria. We would highly recommend Lhamo for your family.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE SEEKING A BABYSITTER &/or DOG SITTER I cannot recommend Janie Rylander enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, attentive caregiver for their pets or children. I have had the pleasure of working with Janie Rylander on multiple occasions, and she has far exceeded my expectations each time. She was not only punctual and professional but incredibly warm and patient with Silas and Milo, my 11-year-old boy and 14-year-old Border Collie. Trust me, your kids and pets will be well cared for and have tons of fun!

I have been a nanny/babysitter for as long as I can remember! I absolutely love kids and teaching them fun new things and sports! Other then nannying I have coached volleyball for the past 8 years anywhere from 6th grade to High School Varsity. I have my bachelors degree in Psychology with a specialization in child development and after that plans of getting a Master in mental health counseling for school aged kids! I have extensive infant/toddler/kid experience as it has been my job for the past few years! I have done things from “shorter" jobs such as date nights and giving rides to places, all the way up to overnights where I spent the entire week with three boys while their parents were out of the country. My past experiences make me very versatile so I am open to anything that you might need help with from young kiddos needing bottle feeding, sleep training, food transitioning, potty training, etc. And for older kids I’m happy to give homework help, create and implement structured days, prepare meals, and clean up. A couple random things I honestly love are running errands/grocery shopping and doing laundry. I understand life is unpredictable so I’m happy to provide sick care! The most kids I've watched at once not including playdates was 4 at a time and it was a blast. I would say that I am a very flexible and understanding person and am always happy to to grow and change with your family’s needs. I think it's very important to build a good relationship with the kid(s) and parent(s) so it's a nice experience for everyone. I love getting outside and playing and even going on day trips to explore! I am fully vaccinated and have my own car (with 7 seats) including two toddler car seats and a clean driving record! I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos!

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.

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.
