A little bit about me
I have worked in reproductive health for 15 years and childcare for 10 years. I value providing compassionate, non-judgmental care and prioritize working with individuals who have a similar approach. I am a trained birth and postpartum provider, have extensive experience in childhood development, and love being witness to the magic of a child growing and changing. Outside of my work, I value social justice, equity, and creativity. I am an artist, queer and in a beautiful partnership, and in school for paramedical tattooing.

A little bit about me
My name is Arielle, but most people call me Ellie. I’m a fun and outgoing person who loves to do arts and craft hands on projects as well as learning something new through experience. I love to read and actually enjoy helping with homework. I have two younger sisters as well that are 6 and 8 that keep me on my toes but also show me what types of things kids are into now days so I’m a lot more fluent in kid talk then most. I’m willing to do whatever is needed of me to make sure you feel not only comfortable with me watching your children but also know that their in great hands and will be learning something hands on and not being babysat with televisions and other forms of electronic devices. I prefer to be outside enjoying the fresh air, at least as much fresh air you can get with a face mask that is.

"She’s a great help and the kids loved her. She always had something planned for them to do and even had the youngest involved. She kept the house clean and even did homework with my oldest. Even got my oldest doing her chores without it being a hassle. Took her to all her after school programs and helped teach my youngest to talk. But Covid happened. We’ve made plans already to have her come back to helping us out again!! She’s a great person to have helping out the family!! Won’t let you down and always reliable!"

A little bit about me
Hi there!
My name is Ellie and I’m a 24 year old currently living in N Portland! I just moved here from Portland, ME in the beginning of September. I am 1 of 5 children so being a “second mom” has always been something I am passionate about.
I really enjoy being outside, and exploring new places. I have a reliable, and safe car that I am comfortable with transporting children. Ideally, I am looking for a family I can work full time for.
I have a bachelors degree in Psychology with a focus in mental health and a minor in child welfare and family services.
I am CPR certified and first aid certified. I have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 since 2/15. Hourly pay is also negotiable.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Christine and I am a native Portlandian. I have been working with children since my humble beginnings running the Kids Club at a gym at the age of 18. I’ve worked multiple sessions as a Program Leader for the MESD Outdoor School program, where I provided 24-hour care for as many as 30-plus children, including those with special and specific needs. I am currently working with preschoolers ages 4-6 at a summer camp where I develop programming and provide empathetic, individualized care for my kiddos. I am also the proud auntie to TEN nieces and nephews. All of my kids mean the world to me, no matter the length of time I get to spend with them, but I am always heartbroken when I have to say goodbye after only five or six days with them. I recently nannied during the winter months for a family of five and I loved the strong bonds that were formed. I hope to find the right family that I can support and grow with!

Nanny Lucas
"Lucas is calm, kind, responsible, and so great with the kids — they have so much fun playing with him and immediately felt comfortable around him. The fact that he is majoring in nursing is an added bonus and gives us extra peace of mind. He is dependable, easy to communicate with, and creates such a positive, relaxed environment. We absolutely recommend him to other families!"
