Hi! My name is Vanessa and I am very well experienced with children. I have 5 children of my own ages 17 through 29. I previously worked as a Spanish Teacher for the Beaverton School District. Prior to that I worked as a Medical Assistant for the Hillsboro Pediatric Clinic. Currently, I'm babysitting and enjoy it very much!

After a period working in other industries, I began caring for families again in 2021. My last job was working as a nanny for a one and three year old that I'd been with for nearly two years. The kids started school, so I'm looking for another family to connect with! I'm looking for part-time positions entailing one to two days a week. Experience includes working as an English Assistant at a primary school in Spain, coaching gymnastics to children ages 3-12 at Oregon Gymnastics Academy, and over five years of private childcare for kids ages 4 months-11 years. I have a musical background and enjoy musical activities, crafts, reading, and being outside with children. I'm also comfortable with tutoring/schoolwork assistance, pets, cleaning, meal prep, and transportation. References are available. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to hear from you!

Hi! My name is Haley Clark. I am 22 years old and was born and raised in Beaverton, Oregon. If you’re looking for someone who will keep your kiddos active and off the electronics, I’m your girl.

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.

Hello :) My name is Ayana. I have been working with children for about 8ish years, I am currently a Speech and language pathologist assistant—I love children, and enjoy helping them reach their full potential!

Hello! I have recently relocated to the Portland area and am looking to see where I may be a good fit professionally. I just completed a spring semester as an assistant teacher at a Montessori academy for ages 3-6. Previously I worked as a private nanny for various families in Chicago (ages: 16 months, 3, 5, 7, & 11). In college I studied human & family development. I am open minded, humorous, I love to read, cook, and spend time outside. Let me know if I sound like a good fit for your family!

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 6 years anywhere from 6th grade to High School Varsity, and during club season from U-12 to U-16 teams. I have one year left until I get 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 and toddle care as that is my current working situation and 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) and a clean driving record! I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos!

Hi, I'm Shannon! I'm a teacher with many years of childcare experience in almost every environment. From summer camp counselor, nanny, preschool teacher to now an elementary teacher for the past 3 years. I love kiddos of all age but my passion lies in early childhood ed. Outside of work I love hiking, arts and crafts, running, and traveling. I currently hold a Masters in Education, as well as a TESOL/TEFL certificate for teaching English Language Learners. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children and adults. I have experience working with allergies, food intolerances, and different behavioral needs, so no worries if you have some additional needs. I look forward to meeting some great families in the community and spending the summer out in the beautiful Oregon sunshine!

I have been a full time professional nanny for the past 13 years in Portland (ages 0 - 9). I am looking for occasional or part time babysitting jobs. This could be weekday mornings, evenings or anytime on weekends. Currently I have a part time job Monday - Thursday from 12 - 5 pm. I love to paint anything, read, make slime & playdough, do cooking & science experiments, play games & pretend with stuffed animals, build & collage with recycled materials, go on outdoor adventures, play ball, swim, get soaked at water parks, and laugh and play on the floor for hours. I follow the RIE Philosophy of Childcare (Resources for Infant Educarers). Basically, I trust and respect every child to be an initiator, explorer and a self learner. I also respect every emotion a child has. I am a good listener and, as they grow, I give guidance and natural consequences with respect and kindness. I especially enjoy engaging with children to find the joy in the everyday tasks like clean up and cooking. In one of my full time nanny jobs I cared for 3 girls for 5 years (now 6, 8 and 10). I am a certified Type 1 Diabetes caregiver (0 - 6 yrs old) for the youngest girl. I've also handled emergencies such as broken bones and allergic reactions. I was also the Homeschool Art & Science teacher. This family has since moved. I have worked with infants , along with siblings, in all of my nanny jobs, which has given me extensive infant care experience including making homemade purees, cloth diapers and potty training. Personally I love to cook, read, weld metal art, do yoga and listen to music. I have also raised 2 kids of my own. My 3 main strengths as a nanny would be: 1. Good parent communication 2. Calm and capable in emergencies 3. Creative inspiration for kids (artist background)...10+ years of kids art & science projects as a nanny. I believe inspiring a child's curiosity is the key to learning. My current and previous employers are all happy to talk, text or email and answer any questions you might have. I look forward to connecting with you to see if it's a fit.
