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!

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.

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!

Marlo watched our two girls (2 and 6) for us while we were on vacation in Oregon, on two separate occasions. She was absolutely wonderful with them and my girls loved her! I highly recommend Marlo for kids of all ages. ?
Lhamo C.
- 20 years paid experience

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.

Lhamo has provided babysitting/nannying services to my family over many years now, from the time my younger child was a toddler. My kids really enjoy Llamo and Llamo's kids, who are the most charming and well-behaved children around.... a real testament to Llamo's skills in developing young minds. Llamo's years of experience mean she can easily manage the tasks of baby-care and more, in a drama-free, stress-free manner. I also highly value the Mandarin exposure she has provided to my children. I have nothing but good things to say.

- 5 years paid experience

Hello!! My name is Rostana, I recently graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Public Health and I am currently in nursing school at Linfield getting my Masters. I am hoping to become a pediatric nurse down the road. Caring for kids has always been close to my heart, and my career goals really reflect that. I’m CPR certified, I currently work in a hospital as a CNA where I’ve been for almost five years. Those experiences have taught me responsibility, patience, and how to handle emergencies with a calm head. Outside of school and work, I’ve been babysitting for about eight years. I regularly care for my younger brothers and often babysit for family and friends, so I’m comfortable with kids of all ages. A lot of my experience has also been from the Portland babysitting group in facebook(can provide references to parents from there if needed) I love creating a safe and fun environment where children feel cared for and parents feel confident leaving them in good hands. I also speak 5 languages (Burmese,Hindi,Korean,Malay, English) *looking for one time or occasional roles only Please feel free to message me if you’d like to connect 🤗

Rostana did a great job of watching our kids. They are high energy and always moving and she kept up great and made sure they had everything they needed at all times. Will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to any families looking for a great sitter.
Abby H.

Hi there! I am Abby (she/her). This June, I will be graduating from Washington State University Vancouver with my Master’s in Teaching. I graduated from the University of Washington in June 2024. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education, Communities, and Organizations with Disability Studies and American Indian Studies minors. I have been caring for children for 6 years as a babysitter and as the oldest sibling, as well as supervising children in summer camp and school settings. My babysitting experience ranges in ages from infant to twelve. I recently cared for a one year old for six months, starting when she was only six months herself - this included diaper changes, feedings, putting her down for naps, and taking her on adventures to Kids Club, swimming, and free events at the local library. I have also babysat toddlers and assisted them with potty training. I also babysit families with siblings ranging in ages of 2-4 and 6-10. I truly love working with kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. With each family I understand cleaning is not expected but light housework such as dishes, vacuuming, and tidying up the toy room is no problem for me! I have experience babysitting children with ASD and ADHD. I have found success in building relationships with these children through discussing triggers, what the child enjoys, and boundaries with parents before we start working together. I am also passionate about working with children with disabilities in the school setting. I am currently a substitute, often filling in as a paraprofessional. From September 2023 to May 2024 I held an internship as a substitute paraprofessional in the Seattle Public School system, regularly working at Concord International Elementary School. Nothing makes me happier than reading, doing crafts, playing games/puzzles and being outside! My number one focus is keeping the children happy but most importantly safe. I have my CPR certification and can run a background check upon request. I can provide references upon request. Currently I'm available ONLY on weekends, hopefully for the occasional date night. I am looking for a family that would be in need of upcoming summer care. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your children!

Abby worked for our family for almost a year from when our daughter was 3 months to 1 year. Abby was our daughter's favorite childcare provider, and main provider. Abby is an excellent childcare provider and I recommend her wholeheartedly. Abby brings an attention to detail, positivity and respect for the family. She started on day one bringing developmental knowledge to the way she cares for our daughter., and introduces activities She was very communicative at all aspects. From scheduling, sharing her location when with our daughter and checking in on ideas for community enrichment activities. When our daughter was napping, Abby would help clean or tidy which was definitely not a requirement or even request. She showed such care and respect for our daughter and her development, I am thankful and recommend hiring her. Thank you Abby!

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.
