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!

Hello! I am an experienced child care provider. I have 7 younger siblings that I have watched on my own since I was 13. My mom has also ran a daycare that I have helped with. But on top of that I have worked in a preschool for 3 years as a teacher, and done lots of caregiving for the elderly and other children! I have experience working in a cleaning company as well so I can do your household chores with ease :)

Maddi provided VIP care for our son for more than a year. She ran an incredible playgroup with another family in SE where the kids learned how to play well together, how to share, how to be good communicators and how to be good people. We attribute so many of Hank's kind traits to Maddi. We also loved how easy it was to communicate with her and how easy it was so add or change days if we needed to. When a second baby joined our family, she jumped right in and was super attentive and sweet with our little girl. Thank you for everything, Maddi!

Vanessa and her two high school-aged daughters watched my daughter in their home from when she was 1yr old until 2yrs old; M-F while my husband and I worked full time. My daughter loved going to Vanessa's home, playing with the other kids, the small dog, and learning Spanish. We really appreciated how flexible Vanessa was with drop-off and pick-up times as our schedules and needs were constantly changing. Also, Vanessa's price can't be beat. Her and her daughters are very friendly and we enjoyed working with them.

Elena was absolutely fabulous with our two kiddos! They immediately embraced her warm and welcoming attitude. She was wonderful at respecting and implementing house rules for the littles, energetically played with them throughout the day, and kept our place nice and tidy! It was wonderful to walk out of work (I work from home) to two happy kiddos! Definitely recommend Elena! ?

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.

Ariana C., Babysitter in Portland, OR 97229 with 2 years of paid experience

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’m currently taking care of two 11 months-old in a full-time nanny-share situation. I’m available on weekends and evenings for date nights!

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.

Vitoria O., Babysitter in Portland, OR 97229 with 6 years of paid experience

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.
