Our nanny’s experience & background:
I have been working with infants and young toddlers in Portland for the last seven years and specialize in nanny shares with infants.

My caregiving is heavily influenced by the RIE philosophy. I attended a 10 day RIE Foundations Course with Polly Elam and Debbie Bergstrom in August of this year, deepening my understanding of infant needs and development. The principles of RIE put respect into action with the goal of raising secure, confident, and autonomous people. A family interested in Montessori style learning and/or RIE would be a good fit.

I am skilled at helping young infants find their rhythm and settle into a schedule, and believe the familiarity of (flexible) routine supports them in feeling secure in the world. Baby wearing, sleep training, cloth diapering, breastmilk and formula, and baby led weaning/beginning solids are all things I am very comfortable with.

I love taking children out into the community to engage in activities like story times, music classes, and nature exploration. Out in the world, we build relationships with other nannies and children, expanding the children's social-emotional development.

Northwest Portland, Portland$15/hr | 1 kid

Hello, I am a work from home mom who is on the phone most of the day and needing to find someone to take care of my 2 year old daughter willow! She is a fun and independent little girl! I am willing to drop off and pick up!

The Trimble Family

Portland$17/hr | 1 kid

Our daughter, Sadie is 3.5 months and is just getting more fun with age! Not much to share yet, just the usual milestones and smiles that would brighten anyone’s day.

My husband and I both work from home and are looking for someone to help us with our daughter 3-4 days a week so we can get work done. We aren’t ready for daycare yet, especially with Covid and her being so young, so we thought we would look into a nanny or nanny share!

We have a happy, chatty 4 year old boy who needs someone to look after him while his mom sleeps before and after his night shifts. Also, we'd like some date nights and other coverage.

We have a 10 year old and 12 year old girls who are independent and may or may not be around.

No responsibilities other than looking after our son.

I am EXPECTING...no baby quite yet! I am doing research to see what this nanny/nanny share process works. She is expected to arrive early February of 2021, and I will be taking a typical maternity leave at that time. So, I will be needing help starting the beginning of May (approximately).
