A little bit about me

Hi :) I'm 18 years old, taking a gap year before attending college. I just moved to Portland a few days ago. I have recently been helping kids out with online school, as well as playing after classes. Online school can be difficult for young children to stay engaged with, and I have seen the importance of having someone with them to stay on track while also respecting their need to move around and take breaks. I love playing games, doing arts and crafts, and spending time outside. Some of my hobbies are painting, reading, and playing the guitar.
I am CPR certified by the Red Cross, and my hours are completely flexible. I will be available both weekdays and weekends as well as nights. Hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me

My name is Elysa, and I’m a 33‑year‑old caregiver with 4.5 years of professional experience supporting the Scott/Moses household, caring for 6 children ranging from newborn to 10 years old. My background includes infant care, toddler emotional support, coordinating after‑school routines, homeschooling blocks, & creating age‑appropriate activities — especially science‑themed, sensory, and creative projects tailored to each child’s interests.

I’m patient, calm, and attuned to babies’ and toddlers’ big feelings, & I value clear communication & a co‑parenting approach with families. I’m comfortable supporting structured routines, transitions between households, and maintaining a warm, stable environment where kids feel safe, seen, and engaged.

I’m currently open to part‑time positions Mon–Fri., with occasional weekend date‑night availability. I’m not seeking a live‑in role, but I’m always happy to discuss your family’s needs to see if we’re a good fit.

A little bit about me

My names Ozzi, I'm a 22 year old parent to my 2 year old daughter! After becoming a single parent I realized how difficult it is to find care for your child when it's time to return to work. It's important to me to be able to give kids a safe place to be themselves, learn, play, grow, and give parents peace of mind that their children are looked after and cared for!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Sofia and I am 19 years old! Ever since I was little I’ve always had a love for spending time with babies, and younger children in general being one of the oldest in a large Mexican family! I grew up taking care and babysitting my cousins even as new borns, I think that is one of the main reasons for my love of babysitting and spending time with children! Other than spending time with little ones and my family and friends I have a lot of other hobbies I enjoy and do pretty often. I’m a big dog lover and animal lover in general, I have my own fur baby I love taking outside when it’s nice! I also love nature walks (especially during sunset or rise), reading, cooking and baking especially for other people, drawing, and coloring!
