A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Lucas! I'm a senior nursing student at the University of Portland with experience caring for children in both family and educational settings. My Mother is an elementary principal and my Father is an elementary teacher so I come from a family rooted in childcare. I’m responsible, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment for kids. I’m CPR certified for all ages and, through my healthcare background, know how to respond calmly in emergencies. I value clear communication with parents and will tailor childcare to your family’s specific needs.

More About Me

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

I have volunteered in my church’s nursery on Sunday mornings since I was in middle school, helping care for young children in a safe and engaging environment. I have also babysat for family friends and for families who found me online during the summers since I was in 7th grade. From September through December 2025, I was a student nurse at Rosemary Anderson High School, where I worked with adolescents in a school health setting. From January through April 2026, I completed a student nursing placement in the NICU at Providence Portland Medical Center, where I gained experience working around newborns and supporting family-centered care. And this past school year I worked as a Residant Assistant (RA) at Shipstad Hall for University of Portland where I helped my freshman residents transition from high school into there first year of college.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing a variety of activities with children depending on their age and interests, including playing outside, arts and crafts, board games, sports, reading, imaginative play, and helping with homework. I like creating a fun and positive environment while also making sure children feel safe, included, entertained, and supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I believe it’s important to build trust with both the children and parents through patience, responsibility, and clear communication. I also think a great nanny should help children have fun, learn, and feel encouraged while respecting each family’s unique routines and values.

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!
