Hello! My name Is Nomonde I am South African, I was an au pair for 2 years & have five years of experience working with infants and toddlers and I absolutely love caring for young children. I’m calm natured, gentle, responsive, child-led, and love being outside. I’m experienced and comfortable with attuning to infant cues, providing developmentally appropriate opportunities for play and learning, and establishing firm and loving boundaries.

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!

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!

Hello!! My name is Rostana, I recently graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Public Health and I’m on the pre-nursing track, hoping to become a pediatric nurse. Caring for kids has always been close to my heart, and my career goals really reflect that. I’m CPR certified, currently work in a hospital where I’ve been for almost five years, and I’ll be completing my CNA certification this month.

I regularly care for my younger brothers and often babysit for family and friends, so I’m comfortable with kids of all ages. I love creating a safe and fun environment where children feel cared for and parents feel confident leaving them in good hands.

Hello! My name is Courtney, About me, I have a cat named Batman, he is my whole life. I have taken care of children as a nanny and babysitting for about half my life, I lived in France for 4 months to nanny a new born, most families I have worked for I stayed with them for no less than 3 years. Being a nanny and a babysitter is my passion. Kids tech me things I never thought I could learn. I don’t have a problem saying no and doing timeouts. I do NOT hit children (spank, hand swats) I do not feel comfortable doing that, yes I have been given permission without asking and I feel the need to mention this on my page. I am CPR certified in Ages 0-elderly. I love to travel and see the world, I’m very adventurous with many hobbies. I lift weights, hike, camp, snowboard, I enjoy being active and eating healthy. I love going to the park with kids, I have a 2013 Ford Fusion that is very kid friendly and has everything for all ages. There’s a lot to know about me and my history, if you have any questions you’d like to ask in person or over the phone, please reach out! I really miss working with children and COVID has made this difficult on everyone.

Hi! My name is Caitlin and I am very interested in being your nanny! 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! 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.
