A little bit about me
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!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Claire, and I’m a university student home for the summer with several years of hands-on childcare experience and a true passion for working with children of all ages. Over the past few years, I’ve babysat regularly, spent a year as a camp counselor with Portland Parks & Rec (working with kids ages 5–11 in both sports and full-day camps), and even running my own tutoring service with over 25 regular students. I bring high energy, patience, and a creative spirit to every day. Whether I’m organizing a backyard obstacle course, helping with math homework, or just making sure your child feels safe and heard, I approach every moment with care and purpose. I’m reliable, warm, and genuinely invested in making your child’s day brighter and more enriching. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your kids like family and make each day feel like something special — I’d love to connect!

Ultimately I strive to bring harmony into your home by emphasizing whole family well-being, which includes meal prep, light housework, animal care, gardening, etc. I've supported homeschoolers, work from home parents, and families who set my schedule months in advance. I have immediate part time availability (10-15 hours per week) and full time availability mid-July. At that time, I'd ideally love to be hired by one family full time (or near full time), or two families (both part-time).

I love reading, the outdoors, and I have the most adorable cat!
I have a car to commute to you! I would be open to one time coverage or a long-term position.
I started babysitting when I was 13 (ages ranging from infant to 10. years old) and became a camp counselor at 17. Here, at camp, I spent 8 weeks of the summer with a cabin of ~12 campers ages 13-15 years old. I do, however, have experience working with all ages. At 15 years old, my family adopted newborn twins and I was a crucial part of their upbringing. I have a car to commute to you! I am graduating in May, but am planning on staying in the Seattle area post-graduation, and I would be able to move to full-time in the summer!

A little bit about me
I am a mother of a zazzy, spirited 5 year old and a bold, sweet 1.5 year old. I am a gardener, a baker, a reader, a dreamer, a painter, a felter. I love the forest and medicinal herbs. I finished my Primary Teacher training at Montessori Northwest in 2020. I have been working with children in different childcare settings since 2005. I am excited to continue working with and learning from children. I hope to find a position that supports me through the summer but also allows me to spend quality time with my family. I am grateful for my work with you g children. The child spirit energizes and inspires me.

What Is a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Portland, OR
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
