Find experienced child care providers in Vancouver, WA

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.

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 🤗

Hi! My name is Rachelle and I have been working with children for quite a few years now and it is my passion! I've worked in infant toddler development centers, taught preschool, been a nanny several times and have had children of my own! I've taken several child development classes and been to several trainings and continue to educate myself in child development. I'm especially interested in the Reggio approach.

Hello! I'm a parent of a teen (just off to college!), a long time school/little league volunteer (my son did Montessori through middle school), a professional tour guide, and started child care work in 2019 being employed by a neighbor for mornings getting her preschooler and kindergartner to school and summer camps. I watched them part-time through pandemic times and virtual schooling and then switched to another family with twins who are now 7yo, also doing the morning 'get them off to school' shift. This leaves me free for the remainder of the day, though I am also a tour guide which becomes more relevant in the tourism season. I enjoy meeting kids on their level and helping them navigate being themselves. I believe in being a full household helper, and try to tidy things during my time in your home. I'm a cat lover and happy to attend to pets as well.

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.

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.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, and sharing stories and songs with little ones.

I would be honored to support your family with childcare that combines responsibility, warmth, and genuine dedication.
