am a caring, responsible, and patient person who truly enjoys being around children. I am a mother of two children, ages 16 and 24, so I have many years of personal experience caring for kids. I have also helped my brother care for my nieces and nephews, which has given me even more experience with children of different ages.

Eden M. - Seeking Work in Portland

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Eden M.

I bring over 10 years of early childhood educational and care experience, both in and out of a classroom, to every new family. My technique to nannying tends to pull from the Reggio Emilia approach and involves a mixture of gentle guidance and redirection while following the child’s lead based upon their interests and questions. I excel in helping busy families create and maintain schedules that they can incorporate to their homes even when I am not there. I also have experience in home management, organization and design, and helping with any projects or errands to make the day feel lighter for the family. Overall I have dedicated a decade now to caring deeply about every child I meet, and I am looking forward to continuing.

Olivia P. - Seeking Work in Portland

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Olivia P.

Hello! My name is Olivia and I would love to help your family and care for your little ones! I started working with children as a floating teacher when I was 18 at a local daycare. There I discovered my love for this kind of work and was amazed by the minds of young children! From there I took courses and earned certificates to move my way up into eventually having my own preschool class! I loved planning lessons and staying involved in that classroom until they moved up to kindergarten. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Maria H. - Seeking Work in Portland

Part-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Maria H.

Hello! My name is Maria, and I bring over eight years of experience in early childhood education, most recently as a school director and educator coach. I’ve chosen to step away from administration for a bit and return to caring for children one-on-one and supporting families.

I have cared for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, supporting each stage of development with warmth, patience, and routines. With infants, I focus on creating a safe, loving environment through gentle care, sensory play, and responsive feeding. For toddlers and preschoolers, I help guide early independence with activities that encourage curiosity, problem-solving, and self-help skills, including toilet learning and diapering with patience and consistency.

I naturally weave learning into everyday moments; whether it’s singing songs during diaper changes or practicing language through story time and ready to attend to families goals and needs.

I am CPR/First Aid certified. References provided upon request.

With a balance of fun activities, gentle guidance, and consistent routines, I create an environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually. I’m attentive to each child’s unique needs and personality, and I work closely with families to ensure we’re a true team in supporting their growth. Whether it’s story time, outdoor play, or helping with homework, I approach each moment with care, joy, and reliability. I hope to be the next addition to your family :)
