** Open Availability!! Offering sliding scale payment for families $15/hour - $25/hour, as I know finances can be a barrier for many families to access support. Flexible schedule as I’m pivoting my career. Updated 11/21/25**
Hi there, My name is Nadine! A bilingual gal who enjoys creativity & outdoors! I earned a masters in Child Clinical Psychology emphasis on working with children & with the Hispanic/Latinx population.
I moved to the area from Oklahoma City, where I have spent the last decade working in my field. I come from a huge family & when we are all together the house is full of laughter, creativity, & playfulness. Being the second oldest of 30+ cousins has taught me the importance of safety, modeling, flexibility, patience, hygiene, & following the structure set by each household. Would love the chance to support you!

A little bit about me
I am a recent graduate of Gonzaga University, where I pursued studies in Accounting, Marketing, and Religious Studies. Since 2018, I’ve been working in childcare, and I am currently employed as a teacher at a daycare in Beaverton. My passion for working with children stems from their boundless energy and curiosity and aligns well with my desire to create an understanding and empathetic environment within the world. I am proud to provide children new avenues to explore their interests and develop both socially and academically.
I am an avid basketball fan, a passionate Lego enthusiast, and a cinema aficionado. I also have a special place in my heart for animals (especially dogs) and love spending time outdoors. My love for music and theater has been a part of my life since childhood. This passion expanded through my work in the music industry, both independently and with the world’s largest entertainment company. (though I am still re-learning guitar after a basketball injury... oops!)

A little bit about me
¡Hola!
I'm Paula, originally from the picturesque island of Mallorca in Spain, I bring with me a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for caring for children.
At 27, I've embarked on a new chapter in Portland alongside my partner, who recently secured a job opportunity here. While I finalize paperwork to transition my career as a certified teacher in the U.S., I'm excited to dedicate my time to what truly brings me joy: enriching the lives of children and making meaningful connections along the way.
With a diverse background in childcare, including babysitting, tutoring, and being an au pair, I've had the privilege of nurturing children aged 1 to 14. My educational background allows me to not only care for your children but also to engage them in language development and academic growth.
I'm eager to extend my services to your family and embark on this journey together, nurturing bright futures and creating cherished memories.
¡Hasta pronto!

"Stephanie has always been an amazing person when it comes to children. My son absolutely loves her. They would go to the park, find something fun in the community to do, reading, homework, and she did make sure that any chores he needed to do was done before I got home. Any times that she was not watching my son he would always ask for her because she was 'the fun auntie'. If there are any worries or concerns before hiring her, they would soon be gone. She has training in being a caregiver, CPR, has worked with some special needs, and she was on top of everything as we learned about my son's seizure disorder. I would totally suggest Stephanie for a nanny."

"Al worked as the sitter for our elementary school parent group during our in-person meetings. They would watch a large group of young children in our school gym for a couple hours once a month. They were very reliable, had a great attitude, and came with lots of ideas for games and projects. The kids had lots of fun and loved them! All the parents were happy with Al. I would definitely hire them again."

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Janna. I recently graduated from the University of Tulsa with a degree in Exercise & Sports Science and hope to attend PA school in the future. I have experience caring for children ranging from 1-12 years old and absolutely love working with kids.
I'm a big believer that childhood should include plenty of time outside, getting creative, and having fun. Whether that's crafts, games, baking, homework help, trips to the park, or spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen, I love helping kids stay engaged and enjoy being kids.
I'm also happy to help with meal preparation, household organization, errands, transportation, tutoring, and other family support needs. My goal is to be someone both parents and children can count on while making everyday life run a little more smoothly.

"Janna has been absolutely a dream! I wasn't sure what to expect when hiring a nanny. Janna blew any expectation I had away! She is kind, patient and my girls have so much fun with her. She makes getting them ready for school special by making fun breakfasts, doing their hair so cute and taking them on special treat days before school. My girls are so sad that she is moving but we support her on her journey and hope the best for her. Janna also worked in our home as kind of a home manager. She helped keep our home clean and organized after she took the kids to school. She is amazing at her job. She pays attention to detail and is very organized! Janna goes above and beyond. She is leaving big shoes to fill! Any family will be beyond lucky to have her as their nanny and part of the family!"

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Sam!, and I’m a college student pursuing a career in the medical field. Caring for others comes naturally to me, especially after growing up in a family daycare where I helped out from a young age and eventually worked as I got older. This has given me 10+ years of hands-on childcare experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children.
Families describe me as trustworthy, patient, and reliable. I’m also very flexible and willing to meet each family’s unique needs, whether that involves adapting to different schedules, routines, or parenting styles. I take safety seriously, communicate clearly, and always try to create a warm, positive environment for the kids I care for.
I’m comfortable with meal prep, homework help, light cleaning, bedtime routines, and planning fun activities. I truly enjoy supporting children and giving parents peace of mind. I’d love to be a helpful, dependable part of your family’s routine.
