Sittercity helps Sherwood families find the best nannies

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!

Hi, I'm Cynthia! I have worked through Sittercity before, and I have an abundance of experience with child care and safety. My child care experience started as a teen, then later expanded to full-time daycare work, leading activities in after school programs, being an on-call sitter/nanny, to working with adolescent youth in programs and schools. I have also worked as a foster care certifier for 2 years and I now work as an elementary school social worker. I drive a Subaru with safety features- spacious enough to transport kiddos. I am happy to take kiddos on outings, assist in transportation, or stay at home. I am vaccinated and boosted, as are those in my household. I am comfortable with pets- I have a dog myself! I have a lot of availability this summer for part-time work! Some things to consider: -From 6/23-7/17 I will be helping with summer school in my district; hours are slim and flexible -Not available on Sundays or Tuesdays (evening hours) Though I have certain preferences listed, I am flexible case by case :) If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for considering me!

Hi, my name is Alli. For the past five years, I've had the privilege of playing with, reading with, and getting to know kids every day. For the past four years, I've worked as a behavior therapist for kids on the autism spectrum, and most recently, I've worked as a nanny. I adored working as a nanny for a 4-year-old and his little sister (6 months when I started-13 months when I finished) I'm from California but I moved to Portland to pursue speech pathology at Portland State University. I graduated with my bachelor's of science last spring. As I continue to work as an (intern) SLPA, I'm looking for occasional babysitting and part-time work. I don't smoke, I'm comfortable with pets, and I'm CPR trained.

Hi, I'm Shannon! I'm a teacher with many years of childcare experience in almost every environment. From summer camp counselor, nanny, preschool teacher to now an elementary teacher for the past 3 years. I love kiddos of all age but my passion lies in early childhood ed. Outside of work I love hiking, arts and crafts, running, and traveling. I currently hold a Masters in Education, as well as a TESOL/TEFL certificate for teaching English Language Learners. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children and adults. I have experience working with allergies, food intolerances, and different behavioral needs, so no worries if you have some additional needs. I look forward to meeting some great families in the community and spending the summer out in the beautiful Oregon sunshine!

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.

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!

Hi! My name is Vanessa and I am very well experienced with children. I have 5 children of my own ages 17 through 29. I previously worked as a Spanish Teacher for the Beaverton School District. Prior to that I worked as a Medical Assistant for the Hillsboro Pediatric Clinic. Currently, I'm babysitting and enjoy it very much! I'm enrolled with the Oregon Central Background Registry and I'm also CPR/First Aid certified. I would love to help you out with your little one! If interested I can teach your child Spanish! Feel free to reach out anytime if you want to chat!

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 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.

My name is Lizzy, I use she/her pronouns. I love nature, hiking, reading, watching women's soccer, and spending time with my spouse and our dog. As a queer woman with a nonbinary partner, I am looking to find a family to work for who is open and accepting to all. I have always loved kids and started babysitting in various capacities in middle and high school. Professionally, I worked with infants and young toddlers in the Early Childhood Program at Shalom Austin from 2011-2020. Since July 2020 I’ve nannied for a few different families with kiddos ranging from 5 months to 6 years old. During my time nannying, I’ve done everything from creating lesson plans with engaging activities to facilitating online/homeschool kindergarten. I have numerous training certificates in various areas from my time with Shalom Austin and have been certified in pediatric and adult CPR and first aid (my certification expired in 2021, but I am willing to renew). I am fully vaccinated against Covid and maintain a fairly low level of exposure. When it comes to taking care of babies (and all kids, really) I’m all about encouraging child-led play, using baby signs, and supporting natural physical development to help foster their independence. I love coming up with developmentally appropriate activities for any kiddo, as well as setting up child centered play spaces to create a more engaging environment. I’m a huge nerd for child (specifically infant) development and could talk about it all day long, so if you’re curious about any of this please just ask! Full resume and references available!
