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.

I come from a family of 10 of us.(19080s) I am on the younger end . At 7 years old I started baby sitting my infant niece and from their on out a new nephew or niece was born each year. Sometimes multiples… Now I’m in my 40s blessed with 2 littles of my own. Looking for work while having my children as well. I have 2 seats available in my vehicle if needed to run children around. My children are 2 and 6 year old girls .. we love to stay active. We go to many parks . We play softball. 6 year old is already hitting without the tee. She also plays in LO soccer club and goes to mountain park church for 1st grade. I can only watch 2 children at a time being that only 2 will fit in my vehicle in the event of an emergency.

Julie is amazing! She’s fun, attentive, creative, patient, reliable and has a background in sports which is super helpful as she knows how to not only keep your child active and entertained but also helps to work off all that energy by the time they’re home. My daughter absolutely loves her! I trust her with my life and my babies.

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!

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!

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.

Marley rae W., Babysitter in Portland, OR 97229 with 10 years of paid experience

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!

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.
