A little bit about me
Hi Parents and Guardians!
My name is Kara. I am 35 years old and live in Portland, Oregon! I have been a nanny going on 16 years now (I can't believe it)!
I have experience with children ages infant - 16 years old. Of course, job responsibilities have varied depending on the ages of the children, but some of my skills include:
Early Childhood Development, Infant Care, Routine Adherence, Development of Social Skills, Recreational Activities (love library time, OMSI trips, and fun outdoor activities!) Behavioral Modeling, Toilet Training, Light Housekeeping, and Maintaining Children's Safety.
I have a pretty flexible schedule and can adapt to most scenarios quickly.
Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos :)

A little bit about me
"Hi, my name is Cambria and I am a 15-year-old babysitter with experience caring for my younger siblings. I have a lot of energy and enthusiasm and enjoy playing games, reading stories, and exploring the outdoors with children. I have been volunteering and participating in extracurriculars to develop important skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and communication.
I am interested in finding a family who values the qualities of dependability, attention, and responsibility, as those are the qualities that I aspire to in my own caregiving. I am open to potentially working with my younger sister, who I believe has a lot of potential and would be a valuable asset to a babysitting team.
Thank you for considering me for this opportunity. I am eager to learn and grow as a babysitter, and I believe I have the necessary skills and experiences to ensure the safety and happiness of the children in your care."

A little bit about me
My name is Megan, I am a Mama of two, I am a retired home birth Midwife and herbalist that was lucky enough to find myself in the nanny world when I moved to Portland six years ago and it has been an honor to continue serving families in this way! Pre pandemic I was working for families in a nanny share out of their homes alternating where we were depending on what classes/activities I had the kiddos signed up for that day! Once Covid happened things changed and there was a need for in home care. I am lucky enough to have a sweet tiny house on the property I live on with my wife and children that serves as a precious learning and play space where we have access to our garden beds, yard and are walking distance to two parks! With covid changing I would be open to taking kiddos to things like music and dance classes again! I am currently in a part time share with two sweet fams that leaves me with plenty of availability! Reach out with any questions and to take a look at my resume! ❤️

Hello! My name is Gaby. When I Nanny, I like to spend time with the kids outside, doing arts and crafts and playing board games. I have experience with children on the Autism spectrum. I do my best to support the children in my care by keeping them active, giving them the tools to be successful in school. I strongly believe in supporting kids develop the skills to express themselves and their emotions in a healthy productive way. My favorite part of being a Nanny is the fun and joy the children I care for give me. Everyday as a Nanny is never the same and never boring.
