Looking for someone who’s fun, dependable, and genuinely loves working with kids?
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!

A little bit about me
Hey there!
I have worked with kiddos for several years, I worked as a co teacher through an early learning academy for ages 2-4. Later I got a position working as an ELA tutor for 5th graders who were struggling with their reading and writing. I think children have brilliant, curious, and exuberant minds and I love expanding my world view by looking at theirs.
I intend to provide a safe and caring environment while caretakers need to go take care of themselves! I am happy to work with you to ensure your kiddos needs are being met in whatever unique ways have already been established at home. Please reach out with your questions and concerns! Lets chat over the phone or even meet up to make sure I'm a good fit for your life.

A little bit about me
I have been babysitting for almost 9 years now. I have always had a passion for caretaking. I recently moved to Portland and am looking to find a great family to help out! I am an organized, loving, creative young woman. I come with solid references to back up my experience with kids. I put safety first whether I am taking the kids to the pool, making collages together, taking walks in the park, or baking cookies together. I also come fully prepared with nutritional meals to cook for the kids I work with. I have also worked as a housekeeper so I am comfortable doing jobs around the house like laundry, cleaning, getting groceries, etc. I have my own transportation! I have a strong educational foundation and a love for nurturing and helping children develop in their own ways. I want to contribute to your children's growth and development and I'm confident in my skills that help do so. I can't wait to meet your children and family and make strong, lasting relationships!

A little bit about me
Hey there, I'm Emmalyn, a loving, experienced nanny of kids all ages, specializing in newborn and infant care. I love working with children while also being a reliable, dynamic resource. I'm always following your baby's rhythms, and learning their cues. Activities include those that build strength and contribute to their over all development. Typical days include storytime, tummy time, outings to a park/playground, independent play time, baby babble, and occasional age appropriate art projects.
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).

A little bit about me
Hello,
My name is Mack and here is a little bit about me. My pronouns are they/them. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. I am a Senior graduating in December from Reed College with a major in Religion. I have hopes to receive my PhD someday. I’ve technically worked with children since I was a young child, due to the fact that I have three younger siblings, two of which who have varying disabilities. I am Oregon Central Background certified, as my job is at a daycare! I work mostly with smaller children but I do have experience with older kiddos. I cook and clean. My hobbies include listening to music, dancing, drawing, and exploring nature and the city alone. My method for engaging with children is meeting them where they are at. Constant communication, in my experience, has always helped address difficult situations. If you are looking for someone who can balance fun and practicality, I am the person for you. I will make sure your kid has fun, feels safe, feels heard and is safe!
