Find experienced child care providers in Clackamas, OR

Hi! I'm a 25 year old artist, student, and experienced child care provider. I have spent 10+ years working with families as their sitter/nanny, in overnight camps, in day camps, and with after school programs. Working with kids and giving the next generation a sturdy, supportive foundation is one of my passions and greatest joys. Families looking for a nanny or sitter who have LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent members will have priority with me because I have lived experience in these areas and can empathetically relate. I know it can be hard for these families to find child care providers, and all kids deserve excellent caretakers. I also identify as nonbinary and have ADHD & ASD (think Amelia Bedelia-- she was a hard worker but just needed clear communication)! I prefer meeting families and doing a working interview before agreeing to any long-term arrangement! Thank you for your time, and I hope you're having a great day. UPDATE 2/17/26: Currently looking for an occasional (1-2x/month) babysitting arrangement in NE Portland, ideally near the King neighborhood. Have you been wanting a dedicated regular date night with your partner? Let's chat!

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

Hello!! My name is Rostana, I recently graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Public Health and I will be going to nursing school at Linfield doing their Masters in nursing program upcoming term. 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 🤗

I’m from the East Coast and moved to Portland two years ago and live outside Ladds Edition. I’m an experienced nanny and went to school at Western Kentucky University for special education. I am also an experienced petsitter and was a veterinary technician for five years I absolutely love spending time with kids and watching them grow. I refuse to lose my child like wonder. I am fulfilled when I see that I have had an impact on a child’s life. I grew up in a dysfunctional family. I know what it is like to have been astruggling child, but I’ve used it in a positive light. I think it is an honor and a privilege to interact with a child and be a light in their lives . I love art, crafts, playing outside and being active with the kids! Painting, Gardening, Animals and anything outside

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!

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 been babysitting on and off throughout my entire life. I watched, played with and drove my own sister in my teens (we're 7 years apart) and now as an adult have watched her children (my nephews) from infanthood to preteen years. I also babysat for friends and acquaintances in my late teens and early 20s. I love playing make believe games with kids and reading stories together. (I'm a budding children's author.) Their sense of wonder and joy are so fun to be a part of. Being a caring constant in a child's life is so important for their short and long-term development. Every baby and child deserves to feel safe and loved by the responsible adults around them and I want to be a part of that support system. I went to Medical Assisting school in 2011 and learned a little about early childhood development and psychology. As a phlebotomist for 10 years, I was proficient in: allaying fears, making people feel seen and heard, being punctual and reliable, communicating to the patient's care team when any concerns came up, being empathetic in care, first aid and CPR, advocating for my patients, and teaching mindful breathing exercises to anxious people of all ages. I believe all of these things can apply to caring for infants and children, especially in assisting your children in feeling seen, valued, and understood. I try to establish reasonable and age-appropriate boundaries with kindness and respect. I would love to help you run a successful and happy household by supporting you in child care.

Hi! I'm Piper- a dedicated, experienced career nanny with a genuine passion for supporting kiddos as they grow. I have been a nanny for a total of 7 years now, with experience working with newborns all the way through to preteens. I also have a background in household management and in health care as an assisted living caregiver. I have experience working with differently abled children as well as multiple kiddos at a time. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the kiddos I care for. My approach blends warmth, structure, and creativity to help children develop confidence, independence, and curiosity. I prioritize sensory play, developmental games, singing, dancing, etc! I love to oil paint, spend time with family and my two kitties, watch movies, and I have also been called a master crafter! I am CPR certified, double vaccinated, and happy to provide multiple references upon request! Thanks!

Hi Families! My name is Rachel and I’m 23 years old. I am currently looking for a nanny job that is either part-time or full-time. For as long as I can remember, I have absolutely adored infants and children! Even when I was a kid, I loved spending time with kids who were littler than me. Some things that I enjoy include arts and crafts, going on walks, having picnics in the park, and baking. I am vegan, but comfortable preparing food that is not. I do not have professional childcare experience, but am eager to gain it. I am First Aid/CPR certified, in the Central Background Registry, have my Food Handler’s card, and have taken Foundations for Learning, Introduction to Child Care Health and Safety, Recognising and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect, and Safe Sleep for Oregon’s Infants. I am up to date on vaccines, including Covid and Flu. I am comfortable with working with 1-3 children of any age. My rates start at $15 an hour. Excited to speak with you!

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.
