Find experienced child care providers in Oregon City, OR

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.

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!

Hi, my name is Brynn I am often described as having a calm yet energetic personality, I am always ready to help and I love people with a passion. I have experience taking care of infants to teenagers. I would love to help you with taking care of your children and assist you in any way that you need to make your life easier! Look forward to hearing from you :)

I have been in this field of work as a child care provider for 20 years. I am currently working as a teacher assistant. I also have experience in babysitting, as I am currently babysitting for parents. As for my training, I did go to college to get my certificate to work in a classroom. I also have a current CPR and FIRST AID card.

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.

Bringing joy and nurturing young minds is my passion. For the past four years, I've happily cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. My positive babysitting experiences inspired me to support families by providing reliable childcare. I am patient, creative, and friendly, and I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities with children. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I am comfortable caring for up to five children and enforcing household rules. I provide regular updates to parents through their preferred method, whether it's verbal communication or via text. I can assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I am a confident driver and LOVE pets! Ultimately, I strive to make a positive impact on each child's life, and I would love to bring my positive energy and vast experience to your family!

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.
