Meet Portia

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I’m an engineering college student with a genuine passion for caring for kids, bringing four years of babysitting experience with children of all ages, specially infants to 8-year-olds. I’m creative, adaptable, and always ready to bring fun, learning into any home I step into. With a strong background in planning engaging activities, helping with homework, and smoothly adjusting to new routines or environments, I aim to make every child feel safe and supported. I’m also great with pets, can drive to any location, and handle school pickups or drop-offs with ease. If you’re looking for someone who truly enjoys helping kids thrive, I’d love to be that person for your family.
