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.

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 am fully vaccinated. I have worked with children of a variety of ages in the Portland, Oregon Metro. area for many years.  At times I have worked for private family residences as a Nanny, other times I have worked for local Day Schools as a Lead Teacher. Most recently, my work has been as a Nanny. I have worked with infants and young toddlers age range from 0-3 years. Additionally, I hold certification in "Advance Child Care Training", and Infant/Child CPR and First-Aid certification. I am a non-smoker, and reliable. I have a AAS Degree in Business, additionally I have completed several Child Development courses through “Portland Community College-Sylvania Campus”, and various online sources. I am a level seven in the state system known as ORO.-registry.  Should there be pets in the family, I hold Pet First Aid and CPR Certification, as well as being a Certified Canine Instructional Trainer-CPDT.              Professional references are available upon request.

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

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

As well as being the oldest of six, I have always loved taking care of children, the elderly and pets. I have a daughter who will be 2 in September. She loves to play!

Greetings, I grew up with a mother (4 kids in my family) who was the neighborhood sitter and when I was 11, I started sitting also. I sat for many families while in JH & HS. After high school, while I attended Hotel-Restaurant Management School in Seattle, I worked as a live-in nanny for a prominent Seattle family with 4 children. (the eldest is now the CEO of the family company) I worked for over 5 years for a family in Redwood City, for date nights and 3-5 days overnight business trips. I have two children of my own. I have worked through SitteCity for over 15 years. One of the jobs was for a prominent Silicon Valley family with a 3.5 month old baby, for 72 hours straight when the family was between nannies. I am reliable and trustworthy, a good cook and I am happy to do light housework, laundry and errands. Active and fit, and experienced with all ages. Having kids at 41 and 44 helps keep you young. (My daughter just turned 27, oh my) I moved back to PDX from SF Bay area about 8 years. I lived in PDX for 12 years, & 30 years in California. Looking forward to hearing from you about your sitting needs. Sincerely, Melodie Rose

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.
