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 and am honored when I have an impact and a child’s life I grew up and a dysfunctional family so I’ve been a struggling child, but I’ve used it A positive light when spending time with kids that are going through something tough. 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 started babysitting at a very young age and I also have raised an amazing son. Most of my friend's have toddler's that love spending time with me ( the feeling is mutual ). I have 20 year's experience in the dental field comforting all ages before/during scary dental treatments. Kid's seem to love that I am silly-fun. It's fun to watch them grow and become their own person. Their innocence is so precious and hilarious at times.

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!

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!

Seeking an Opportunity to Help Parents With Care for their children. I am a loving, outgoing 19 year old, who loves all children! I have worked in two different daycares! Also volunteered in school age classrooms!

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'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.

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!
