A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Leila Proffitt, And I’m a responsible & motivated 16 year old from Oregon. I’m currently looking for opportunities to babysit or pet sit. I hope to bring a lot of positive energy to families I work with. I love helping others & I'm always happy to help with cleaning, whether that means doing the dishes, etc.

As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve taken on a leadership & caregiving role from a young age. I’ve helped care for my siblings through every stage of childhood. While I have experience with all groups, I would prefer working with children between the ages of 3 and 14. I love engaging creative activities, helping with homework, or just being a supportive & fun presence.

I have plenty of experience caring for pets. I've had 2 dogs and 5 cats, so I know how important it is to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. I can walk dogs, feed pets, clean litter boxes, & give them the attention needed. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly!

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Brandi G.

Hello! My name is Brandi Gonzalez, and I’m from the PNW. I love spending time with my husband, cooking and baking, enjoying good coffee, and taking walks around the neighborhood.

I’m passionate about working with young people and currently work part-time at a nonprofit serving middle and high school students. My faith in Jesus is an important part of who I am, and I strive to treat every family and their beliefs with kindness and respect.

I’m hoping to find a part-time nannying position, around 20–30 hours a week, and would love to support your family in whatever ways I can. I’m also happy to help with household tasks for an additional rate, depending on the task and time involved.

I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can be a caring, dependable addition to your home!
Kimberley P. - Seeking Work in Portland

Babysitter Available in Portland, OR: Kimberley P.

Hi! I'm a Grandma of 4 grandsons who are all teenagers now and I desperately miss caring and playing with infants. I moved from Iowa to Portland in the summer of 2024, but prior to moving, I was a part time nanny for a beautiful family. I started with their first baby at 3 months of age and they had their second baby boy when he was 11 months old. I continued nannying for them up until I relocated to Portland. It was incredible having 2 little boys to care for again!
I also worked with newborns in labor and delivery, pediatrics and NICU at Unitypoint St. Luke's in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for over 20 years as a nursing assistant.
So, needless to say, I'm really missing having that baby contact!

Keeley G. - Seeking Work in Portland

Part-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Keeley G.

Hey,
I am a 16yr old high schooler with a lot of child experience from babysitting, foster care, daycare, and volunteering with middling schoolers. I am hoping to be CPR, First AID and AED certified in a few weeks through a class I take called child development where we learn about the stages of development, warning signs, how to care for multiple age ranges, and take home real care baby simulators that are around an infants age for a weekend. I have worked with kids from as young as 4 days old to 17 year olds through foster care and a lot of them being special needs. I have also volunteered to help with special needs kids in middle school doing various things. I’m good with pets as well so animals won’t be an issue for me and I can clean up around the house and cook.
