A little bit about me
Hello, I'm Ruby Mae!! I'm from Montrose, Colorado but I just recently moved to Portland. I was a library worker but I want to shift my career into nannying/babysitting because I miss working with children. I used to be a behavior technician for children on the autism spectrum and I absolutely loved it. My favorite parts of the job included setting up sensory activities, playing with instruments, and snack time. Who doesn't love snack time? I'm willing to contribute to house-keeping, meal-prep and even pet care if your family has pets! I'm CPR, First Aid, QBS certified, and Covid-conscious.

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! I’m Hayden — a dependable incoming college freshman studying psychology. I currently work as a professional caregiver at Right at Home, where I support clients with daily routines, safety, and companionship. This role has really strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to stay calm under pressure, all of which I bring into every caregiving situation.
I have a bubbly personality, a strong work ethic, and genuine empathy. I follow routines well, create a safe and supportive space, and always make sure those I care for feel respected and heard. Families can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and kind.
In my free time, I love hiking with friends, listening to music, plant shopping, and being social. I connect easily with others and truly enjoy building positive relationships with the people around me.

"I can’t recommend Hayden enough! As a single parent, finding someone I trust to care for my five-year-old daughter is everything, and Hayden exceeded all expectations. She was warm, dependable, and truly engaged with my daughter every time she came over. They played games, she cooked meals, and most importantly, my daughter absolutely adored her and always looked forward to her visits. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my child was safe, happy, and cared for. I also really appreciated Hayden’s flexibility with scheduling, which made things so much easier for me. She’s a total gem and I highly recommend her!"

A little bit about me
I'm incredibly emotionally intelligent, and have a working familiarity with conflict resolution and open and honest communication. I'm an odd but kind person, and that helps me get along great with kids. I love reading, writing, painting, crafting, playing video games and playing TTRPGs. I'm more of a relax at home than a go out and party often person, though I love adventures and exploring nature and the city around me. I love helping be a part of a child's life and being a good influence on them as they become their own person.

Nanny Alayna
"Alayna has been reliable and consistent. Any time I have needed her or had to make a last-minute change she has worked hard to accommodate. She is willing to do extra things when requested and the kids adore her. She is great with animals too! My boys are very opposite, and she has found ways to connect with and build relationships with both of them."
- Natasha
Nanny Arielle
"She was great with my boys. They don’t usually take kind to people but once she came around they just loved having her babysit. She helped my oldest with homework and he struggled with math, but she got him doing so much better he’s now part of a head start program with his school. She was reliable and always on time. Loved having her around to help out, almost wished we hadn’t moved away."
