Sittercity helps Beaverton families find the best nannies

Hello there! I'm Natasha & I'm 29, currently working on becoming a doula and full time photographer. I am CPR & First aid certified. I have been baby sitting since I was 12 outside of my house for other families and growing up with three younger siblings you could really say I've been babysitting forever! I have been a nanny, babysitter, daycare and Sunday school teacher, camp counclor and mentor! All of which taught me so many life long skills in regaurds to working with different families and always keeping in mind each children is so uniquely different that no experience will ever be the same. Every kid deserves the best and thats just want i intend to provide! I have experience across the age board, from newborn to thirteen and up to six kids at a time. I have also throw birthday and end of school year some of which were sleepovers! I am very creative, organized and thought out sitter/nanny. Always ready to create crafts, get the kids hands dirty in the kitchen with me baking or get outside and explore! I am a huge music fan so dance parties will happen! I hope that I might be the right fit for you, the parents, and your child/children. If we get to chat further I know you won't be disappointed! References upon Request!

I have been a full time professional nanny for the past 13 years in Portland (ages 0 - 9). I am looking for occasional or part time babysitting jobs. This could be weekday mornings, evenings or anytime on weekends. Currently I have a part time job Monday - Thursday from 12 - 5 pm. I love to paint anything, read, make slime & playdough, do cooking & science experiments, play games & pretend with stuffed animals, build & collage with recycled materials, go on outdoor adventures, play ball, swim, get soaked at water parks, and laugh and play on the floor for hours. I follow the RIE Philosophy of Childcare (Resources for Infant Educarers). Basically, I trust and respect every child to be an initiator, explorer and a self learner. I also respect every emotion a child has. I am a good listener and, as they grow, I give guidance and natural consequences with respect and kindness. I especially enjoy engaging with children to find the joy in the everyday tasks like clean up and cooking. In one of my full time nanny jobs I cared for 3 girls for 5 years (now 6, 8 and 10). I am a certified Type 1 Diabetes caregiver (0 - 6 yrs old) for the youngest girl. I've also handled emergencies such as broken bones and allergic reactions. I was also the Homeschool Art & Science teacher. This family has since moved. I have worked with infants , along with siblings, in all of my nanny jobs, which has given me extensive infant care experience including making homemade purees, cloth diapers and potty training. Personally I love to cook, read, weld metal art, do yoga and listen to music. I have also raised 2 kids of my own. My 3 main strengths as a nanny would be: 1. Good parent communication 2. Calm and capable in emergencies 3. Creative inspiration for kids (artist background)...10+ years of kids art & science projects as a nanny. I believe inspiring a child's curiosity is the key to learning. My current and previous employers are all happy to talk, text or email and answer any questions you might have. I look forward to connecting with you to see if it's a fit.

After all these years growing up with many siblings and helping other parents raise their tiny humans, I know children are my calling in life! I love working with all ages and have sensitivity to disabilities as well. I love spending time outside, making arts and crafts, and reading. I am willing to renew my first aid and CPR certification. Please message me with any questions. I look forward to getting to know you and your family!

I have 7 years of experience working with kids ages 1-13 as well as some experience with infants! I have worked at many camps where I had to deal with multiple kids at once as well as one on one babysitting. I can help with homework help, laundry, housekeeping, and walking any pets if need be. I am a very creative person and love doing fun activities with music, dancing, arts and crafts, and imaginative games!

In 10 years as a nanny in Portland, I have worked with some wonderful families. I thrive in an environment where I have the empowerment and freedom to keep to a schedule while leaving things flexible to accommodate changes. I value safety, kindness and fun. Time outdoors or at cultural events are always time well spent and time at home should be filled with joy and snacks! I have a BS from Smith College in Psychology and a minor in Developmental Education. My experience includes foster parenting, substitute teaching K-12; student teaching, teaching crafts to kids through Catholic Charities, as well as teaching adults. You will find me to be mature, open to suggestion, punctual, transparent, with good boundaries, and open communication. I am also silly, crafty, patient, open, kind, and fun - so I’m told by adults and kids alike.

I enjoy time with kids so much, specially with little ones. I speak Spanish, English and basic French. Also, I am an outdoor person and I really love arts, specially singing! I used to be an AuPair in Beaverton for 1 year and 7 months. I watched three kids: a 10 months-old, a 3.5 years-old and a 5.5 years-old. I was in charge of waking them up, preparing meals, make sure they brush their teeth, preparing baby’s bottle, changing diapers, dropping off and picking up the older ones to school, takings them to the park to play, setting playdates with friends, to the library, potty training, teaching the little one to speak (I used to speak to him Spanish and he understood very well!) and to walk. It was an amazing experience! I left and dedicated myself to my career (I got a bachelors degree in Mass communication) around the world: Mexico, Venezuela and Spain. I just came back to the US and my previous host family received me to stay while I set everything up here. The younger kid is now 7 years-old! Before coming to Beaverton I spent a month in Chicago, since my sister lives there and I took care of 2 siblings: a 3 years old girl and a 8 years old boy. I can give you references and my resume. I’m currently taking care of two 11 months-old in a full-time nanny-share situation. I’m available on weekends and evenings for date nights!

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’m fully vaccinated. Please feel free to reach out if I sound like I may be a good fit for your family’s weekday & weekend needs, very flexible and I look forward to connecting with you.

After a period working in other industries, I began caring for families again in 2021. My last job was working as a nanny for a one and three year old that I'd been with for nearly two years. The kids started school, so I'm looking for another family to connect with! I'm looking for part-time positions entailing one to two days a week. Experience includes working as an English Assistant at a primary school in Spain, coaching gymnastics to children ages 3-12 at Oregon Gymnastics Academy, and over five years of private childcare for kids ages 4 months-11 years. I have a musical background and enjoy musical activities, crafts, reading, and being outside with children. I'm also comfortable with tutoring/schoolwork assistance, pets, cleaning, meal prep, and transportation. References are available. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to hear from you!

Nice to meet you! I have held long-term positions with 6+ families here in Portland most recently over the past five years, and prior to that was employed by a respected nursery school for more than three years, with a lifetime of experience I'd love to share with you! My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment (I have a clear criminal history and background check which I am happy to provide) where children can explore, observe, create, socialize, and be inspired and energized by the world around them. I feel that children learn best when they are in an enriching environment where they feel secure, supported, loved, and respected. I like to spend our days together reading, singing, dancing, baking, walks, gardening, make believe, puzzles, puppet shows, arts and crafts, and outdoor fun and adventure. I believe in guiding children gently through redirection, positive reinforcement, creative play, encouragement, and problem solving. I also understand that children need rules, and I work closely with parents to implement successful schedules and routines. I make it my goal to nurture a successful relationship with the entire family so that the child's needs are met. I am very easy to work with. I have respect and experience with attachment parenting, cloth diapering, handling breast milk bottles, and special dietary needs. Potty training? Absolutely! If you have furry, four-legged family members around - not a problem! I love animals. I would love to give you my references, so that you can speak directly to my wonderful families about our time together. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a school counselor in the Hillsboro school district. I have 10 years of experience working with kiddos ages 2-18 in both schools and as a nanny/sitter. I am currently open to babysitting opportunities on Saturdays/Sundays or school holidays.
