More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

my work as a Teacher Assistant at the International School of Portland during their summer camp program (caring for children ages 3 to 5), alongside my certification in Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

outdoor explorations like nature walks and park play, interactive storytelling, creative arts and crafts, and engaging games that encourage movement, teamwork, and active learning.

The most important part about being a nanny...

is building a safe, trusting environment where children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to explore the world around them.

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Brandi G.

Hello! My name is Brandi Gonzalez, and I’m from the PNW. I love spending time with my husband, cooking and baking, enjoying good coffee, and taking walks around the neighborhood.

I’m passionate about working with young people and currently work part-time at a nonprofit serving middle and high school students. My faith in Jesus is an important part of who I am, and I strive to treat every family and their beliefs with kindness and respect.

I’m hoping to find a part-time nannying position, around 20–30 hours a week, and would love to support your family in whatever ways I can. I’m also happy to help with household tasks for an additional rate, depending on the task and time involved.

I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can be a caring, dependable addition to your home!
Kimberley P. - Seeking Work in Portland

Babysitter Available in Portland, OR: Kimberley P.

Hi! I'm a Grandma of 4 grandsons who are all teenagers now and I desperately miss caring and playing with infants. I moved from Iowa to Portland in the summer of 2024, but prior to moving, I was a part time nanny for a beautiful family. I started with their first baby at 3 months of age and they had their second baby boy when he was 11 months old. I continued nannying for them up until I relocated to Portland. It was incredible having 2 little boys to care for again!
I also worked with newborns in labor and delivery, pediatrics and NICU at Unitypoint St. Luke's in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for over 20 years as a nursing assistant.
So, needless to say, I'm really missing having that baby contact!

Working with children has always been my passion, and I truly love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and feel confident. I have extensive childcare experience as a teacher and a childcare director, giving me hands-on experience with children of different ages and developmental stages.
