A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Audrey, and I’m a first-generation college student currently living in Portland to attend Portland State University. I’m studying to become a child psychologist.
I come from a large, loving family and have a younger brother with medically complex needs, which has given me valuable experience in caregiving and understanding diverse needs. I’m passionate about working with children and helping them learn, grow, and thrive. During this time, I would love the opportunity to support a family while balancing my studies.
I’d be happy to chat and see how I can be a great fit for your family!

A little bit about me
Hi families! I’m currently looking to connect with a wonderful family to nanny for. I have over six years of professional experience working with kids of all ages and truly love what I do. I’m very flexible with my schedule and hoping to find a long-term position where I can be part of your child’s growth and day-to-day life.
My current rate is $24/hour, though I’m open to discussing a range that works well for your family. I’d love to chat and see if we might be a great fit!
I truly believe a nanny plays a meaningful role in a child’s life, so I care for every child as if they were my own. I have experience with multiple children at once, including those with special needs. I love reading, singing, dancing, playing games, and creating fun activities with kids of all ages. Most importantly, I make sure they’re safe, cared for, and having fun while learning along the way.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Kiara! I am a nursing student at OHSU who absolutely loves working with kids. Nannying was my first job when I was 12 years old. Currently, I am on summer break until late September. If you are a family that needs a part-time nanny or someone to babysit several times a week then I am your perfect match!
My family and friends call me a busybody because I love to engage in many hobbies and organizations to uplift my community. A few months ago, I was elected as the Oregon Student Nursing Association president, overseeing all the Oregon nursing program associations. I also work as a liaison (All-Hill representative) between OHSU's nursing program and the University to discuss pressing matters in the nursing, dental, and medical programs and vote on funding to change these issues. A few of my hobbies are cooking, baking, hiking, going to the gym, singing, and studying artwork, and I am trying to learn how to play the piano right now!

Hi, my name is Danielle but I go by Dani! I am soon-to-be 20 years old, and enjoy writing poetry, short stories, and drawing in my free time.
