A little bit about me
Hi! My name is London Harvey and I am 18 years old! I recently moved from Colorado to Oregon. Life has been pretty stagnant lately and I’d love to do something that I enjoy and something I’ve always loved doing was babysitting. I’ve always loved hanging out and playing pretend with my little cousins and I think it would be a great thing for me to nanny. Although I do not have work experience in being a nanny, I’ve babysat all throughout high school and I’ve found that to be very fun. I’ve worked at Chick Fil A for 2 years and am currently working at Starbucks. I’m super outgoing and creative! Some of my hobbies include hiking, running, and jamming out to Taylor Swift haha! I am planning on being an American Sign Language Interpreter in the future as well! I took ASL classes all through high school and loved it. Being a nanny is something I’m interested in and I would love to find my first nanny job! :)

Hi, I'm Jennifer. I'm a personal support worker (psw) I took care of a 8 yr old boy who had autism and is 85% deaf. I would bath him, feed him, change him. I was loved with this little boy, so I did everything with this little guy.

Hello! My name is Mari and my pronouns are they/he/she. I'm currently a Skills Trainer at Trillium Family Services where I help children develop social and emotional skills in a residential mental health facility. Before my current job I worked as a full time nanny of a 2-year-old & a 6-month-old for a year and half. Before that I had many roles as a preschool teacher's assistant, substitute, daycare teacher, and a camp counselor. I have worked with kids from many different backgrounds, settings, and age groups.

Hi! My name is Bailey, I am looking for a part-time nanny/babysitting position in Portland. I have been working in healthcare since I graduated college in 2019, and just recently made a big move across the country to attend medical school in Aug of 2024.
I love taking care of kids, I have 2 younger siblings and a plethora of younger family members. I have my bachelors in biology, so I am very science-orientated and would love to incorporate that into your child’s daily life! I am not fluent in Spanish, but I am always working on getting better.
My class schedule is M-F from 8-1:30 right now, so any time after or overnight works well for me! I have reliable transportation of my own and have a great deal of experience with both dogs and cats.

A little bit about me
Hi! I have spent 4 years working in child care at two preschools (learning tree and Becca’s place early learning center ) and while I enjoyed where I was full time, I’ve recently decided to put more focus on my art career while holding a part time nanny job :) I am on the ORO background registry and certified in several child care courses as well as hold a good reputation with the parents of the children I worked with. Before child care I had worked with adults with autism and other cognitive/physical disabilities for two years. At Life emp. I was insulin delegated and continued to work part time after leaving to fill in the gap until they were able to hire new help. I am extremely organized and prefer to do whatever I can to make a safe environment and put those around me at ease :)

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!
