The most important part about being a nanny...
My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where children can freely express themselves and feel fully supported in their own space. I believe children thrive with a simple, loving structure that includes plenty of singing, play, crafts, games, outdoor adventures, and opportunities to explore their environment. This is truly my favorite work! 🥰

*I have experience ( and training) working with down syndrome (5 years)

The most important part about being a nanny...
I love watching for milestones and celebrating with a child and their family when they are achieved. Another favorite moment of mine is making delicious, healthy, and nutrient-packed meals, introducing new foods to children, and watching them gobble them up with joy! I also love teaching parents clever nutritional hacks to get young children to eat the very best foods.

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Jordyn T.
I’m Jordyn — a calm, intuitive, and deeply nurturing caregiver who shows up with patience, structure, and genuine warmth. I’ve worked in caregiving, DSP support, housekeeping, and childcare, so I’m comfortable balancing emotional needs, daily routines, and household flow all at once. Kids tend to connect with me quickly because I’m grounded, playful, and consistent.
I believe in creating an environment where children feel safe, seen, and encouraged to explore their own little worlds. I’m big on communication, gentle guidance, and keeping things running smoothly so parents can breathe easier. Whether it’s helping with routines, supporting big feelings, or keeping the home tidy and peaceful, I bring reliability, compassion, and a steady presence.
If you’re looking for someone who blends structure with softness, and who genuinely cares about the energy in your home, I’m a great fit.

Hiii, I'm Alex! I'm originally from Austin, Texas but just moved to the Sellwood/Westmoreland neighborhood of Portland from NYC, where I was attending Sarah Lawrence. I'm taking this next year off to reassess my goals and find my true path. I come from a loving family with the sweetest parents, who showed me the importance of kindness and compassion, as well as the importance of being there for others. I'm eager to bring those qualities into my work and provide a safe, caring, supportive environment. I'm just beginning my career in childcare, but I'm excited to learn and grow through the process. Feel free to reach out with any questions! :)

Part-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Mack M.
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!
