Find experienced babysitters in Portland, OR

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!

As a babysitter, I love to nurture & teach children how to live a fun life filled with gratitude & kindness. As a responsible & entrepreneurial young woman I began babysitting at the age of 11 & I was a gymnastics coach & camp counselor for 4 years during & after high school. In college at the U of MN I received my bachelor’s degree in Family Social Science & since then I have cared for many wonderful children from 2 weeks old to teenagers. As a hired care-giver, I understand the importance of keeping the children comfortable & safe, happy, well-fed, entertained & hopefully in bed on time. I love to take kids on walks nature hikes or even skiing, we get creative with art projects, I teach them yoga or perform for them with song & dance. I also know how good it feels to come home to a tidy house, so I always try to clean for parents & I genuinely enjoy doing dishes, folding laundry or anything else that really helps you out. I am CPR, First Aid and Yoga Certified

I'm Carmen, and since I was a child, I've loved interacting with children of all ages, from babies to teenagers. I love seeing how they learn, how they observe, and how they develop their skills.I've learned to be patient and understand how each child is different, how they express their needs, and how they learn. I've taken courses on positive discipline and assertive communication. I've had the opportunity to work with children of all ages, and always providing structure in their activities and giving them time to play, learn, play sports, and discover their interests together is something I love and makes me give my best. Being part of children's growth is truly exciting to me, and I have a deep calling to contribute and support their development during this important stage.

In 10 years as a nanny in Portland, I have worked with some wonderful families. I thrive in an environment where I have the empowerment and freedom to keep to a schedule while leaving things flexible to accommodate changes. I value safety, kindness and fun. Time outdoors or at cultural events are always time well spent and time at home should be filled with joy and snacks! I have a BS from Smith College in Psychology and a minor in Developmental Education. My experience includes foster parenting, substitute teaching K-12; student teaching, teaching crafts to kids through Catholic Charities, as well as teaching adults. You will find me to be mature, open to suggestion, punctual, transparent, with good boundaries, and open communication. I am also silly, crafty, patient, open, kind, and fun - so I’m told by adults and kids alike.

I have about 7 years of nanny experience, 3 boys ranging from 3 months to 8 years old, two sets of infant twins, and twins with an older sibling. I also come from a family of teachers and know the importance of fun filled learning activities at a young age. I am 29 years old am hoping to finish a Geography degree in the next few years. When I do return to school, I plan on taking night classes so I can be available full time during the day. I love cooking healthy meals and would much rather have a picnic outside than eat in front of a TV. I currently am working with a family of twin 2 year olds and a 4 year old, and they will soon no longer need childcare. My start date is flexible as well. I am looking forward to the opportunity to help your child grow and learn while having fun!

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 currently live in the Woodstock neighborhood, in Portland, OR, and I've raised three kids on my own (ages 25 at NYU Grad School, 19 at the U.S. Naval Academy, and 15 years old at an immersion high school), all of whom I also used to take to work with me, and this ultimately has developed them into the mature and intelligent individuals they are today, teaching all of us important lessons. Over the years, I've worked with over 10 families with a wide variety of different ages, though I'm especially experienced in working with toddlers and infants. When working with kids, I love taking them outside to the park and staying active, providing fun activities for them. Though, my specialty is now more focused in the cognitive development and education of young children, ranging from developing social skills to language learning of languages such as Mandarin Chinese, which I went to university for along with economics. Furthermore, in addition to working with kids, I am able to help with light cleaning, folding laundry. On top of loving to nurture the growth of young children that I work with, and fostering close relationships with the kids, I’ve also found an interest in assisting young and coming parents with learning the necessary parenting skills, helping them by sharing my experiences, creating a more effective and close team between us. All of this has been the most enjoyable part of my journey so far and why I continue doing what I do as a caretaker.
