Find experienced child care providers in Clackamas, OR

17 years of safe, engaging, skill building fun facilitation; supplemented with homework help, tutoring, and academic support... While attending university, I began facilitating recreation therapy respite for families adjusted by developmental differences. I also continued with the YMCA, YWCA and local youth bureau; all while also living and serving with the local volunteer fire department. Upon graduation I accepted a couple roles as Program Director, but soon realized that front line work was my truest passion. Since my work as a Family Advocate, Wilderness Therapy Guide, Kids Ski Instructor, "Manny" (Nanny), Firefighter, Alpine Manager, Mountain Bike Coach, Lifeguard, and Summer Camp Director for multiple camps, I have gained and honed a diverse skill set. My experience provides families with a compassionate, professional, fun loving, supportive, flexible, and nurturing care giver. Whether you need a one time “babysitter” or a commitment over an extended period of time, I feel confident that I can provide the stimulating and/or structured environment, balanced and tailored for your little people to thrive. Philosophically, I believe in and promote autonomy and democracy; encouraging choice, individuality, compromise, and teamwork. Ex: I do not believe in asking one to apologize, but rather explaining to them the relational benefits of such actions, and providing them the opportunity. Currently, I spend a lot of time in the mountains, tackling personal objectives; so though my location may be elsewhere, I may be looking to work in an area close to your childcare needs.

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!

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’m a fun energetic 29 year old caregiver who has worked with children for the past 17 years. Originally I started babysitting for friends and neighbors, the children typically ranging from infants to early childhood. More recently I worked as a full time live-in nanny for one sweet boy, occasional sitter for multiple children including twins, and part time care for a sweet 2 month old. I have flexible availability, reliable transportation, love to do crafts, am comfortable in and around water, and am CPR and first aid certified. I’m happy to answer any questions that you might have and I can’t wait to meet you and your child(ren)!

Hello! My name is Shannon. I am currently a therapist and former childcare provider of over 10 years looking to fill a little morning time with nanny work. I am currently working later in the day starting at 1pm and would ideally love to find an opportunity 2-4 days a week between 8 or 9am to 12pm. I recently moved to the East Portland/Hawthorne area! Experience I have: -I've been with Sittercity since 2016 sitting and nannying for families throughout the years. -I am a former preschool/daycare teacher with over six years in that environment as a lead infant teacher, lead toddler teacher, and assistant preschool teacher. -Nanny experience additionally outside of Sittercity with families that I am still close with. -Former Early Learning Specialist teaching parents how to teach their young children and pediatric therapist experience that has kept me up to date with childcare and child development best practices. -CPR/First aid trained A little more about me and my approach... -I am a gentle re-director who can both hold boundaries well and also decern when different approaches are needed around meeting a need. -I am a constant teacher (it's just in my spirit after all my time with little ones) so my philosophy is to always be encouraging growth during my time caring for children. - I utilize a trust based relational approach where I build trust through safety while also following through with what needs to get done in a way that meets the child's needs. -With parents I am open to give an advice that is asked so I will not give unsolicited tips, that's only if you wanted to know something. For any work, I ask that pay is same day for non-regular work and work that is regular weekly pay is fine. I'm looking forward to meeting your family and caring for your little one!

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.
