A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a rising junior in college who loves working with kids and creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment. I’m very active and enjoy spending time outdoors—whether that’s going to the park, playing games, or just getting fresh air. I also love pets, so I’m more than happy to help out in a home with animals.
I’m big on imaginative play, board games, and keeping kids entertained in creative ways. At the same time, I’m responsible and dependable, and I’m happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, and tutoring if needed.
I strive to be someone kids feel comfortable with and parents can trust, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family this summer!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name’s Ema. Throughout high school, I enrolled in a class where I worked in the Tigard High School daycare as well as at Durham Elementary, where I worked with 3 classes of 1st graders. I was also involved in a group called Everybody Athletics (EBA) where I worked with intellectually/developmentally disabled individuals in all-inclusive workout programs. While I babysat previously to this my love for working with children really began then. I started Nannying as well for the past 3 summers with a 5 and 7 year old. I grew up with 3 sisters and several different kinds of animals ranging from dogs and cats to pigs and snakes! So I developed a very nurturing, caring, and playful personality. It’s also why I’ve been pursuing a career in behavioral therapy specifically targeted towards adolescents. I love working with children and I’m really looking forward to beginning nannying and babysitting again now that I’m back home for summer!

How to Hire a Summer Nanny in Portland, OR
Nanny Lane helps you find a summer nanny in Portland, OR to take care of your children while school is out.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Portland, OR
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
