We are looking for a part-time nanny for our 2.5 years old son.  We are looking for 1-2 days/week, ~9 hours/day.  We have some flexibility on which days of the week (Mon, Tues, Wed or Thu).   We live in the Arbor Lodge/Overlook North Portland area. 

We have been with our current nanny for almost 2 years, and it’s been a wonderful experience.  She is now graduating and moving on, so we are looking for someone new to help lovingly care for our son.

We are looking for a reliable, fun, loving and caring person who will provide different fun and stimulating activities for Liam.  Whether it’s a walk around the block, reading books, doing art projects, going to the park, going to OMSI or the zoo, etc., we want Liam to learn and explore the world in all sorts of ways. We believe in little to no television.  We would expect light housekeeping (putting dishes in dishwasher after meals and straightening up after a day of fun) so that you can focus your energy on engaging with Liam.  We are looking for a long term partnership based on open communication, trust  and Liam’s well-being. 

If you are interested, please contact us at gagnonme@gmail.com.

 

 

Get two for one!  After eight great years as a professional nanny I had my own little love-bug.  Now I am looking for a lucky little one to spend some happy days with my daughter and me.

No need to scramble to get out of the house, we can come to you and your child will get to eat and sleep in the comfort of his or her home.  I will set up a pack and play for my daughter to nap in and will bring our meals with us each day.  When the kids are not eating or sleeping, we will enjoy all that Portland has to offer.  Activities of the day might include playtime at home, story time at home and/or the library, walks to local parks and playgrounds, and trips to the Children’s Museum, OMSI, the zoo, or community centers!      

A couple of years ago I went back to school for a Masters in teaching with an emphasis in early childhood education.  I discovered that I really do love working with the little ones and enjoy the freedom of being outside of a classroom.   We have fun learning out in the real world while I see to it that the children in my care are safe, healthy, and loved! 

If you think your child would enjoy spending time with us when he or she can’t be with you, please reach out to me at adavendonis<at>yahoo.com.  (Use @ sign when emailing.)  I would like to work the same hours week to week so that I can set up a routine for the kids, but can be flexible with which hours those are.  Most important is finding a family that my daughter (10 mos.) and I feel comfortable around and mesh well with.

Hello my name is Gnora Gumanow and I will be teaching private swim lessons and running a babysitting service all summer long (from May 7-August 31st).

I am a current sophomore at Ohio Wesleyan University studying psychology and spanish. I will be in Portland all summer.

I have been a swim instructor employed with Portland Parks and Recreation for 4 years and I have built a lot of experience through teaching with them. I am also a certified lifeguard with infant, child, and adult CPR and first aid training. For lessons I will figure out a pool plan with each family individually. I am also willing to babysit during the day or at night for kids over the age of 2. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and I have a lot of experience working with kids. I was a camp counselor last summer and I would be willing to take the kids to the zoo, or to the park to play games.

I am very flexible with hours and activities so you and I can talk about what you want your kids doing during the summer when they are under my care. I usually charge around 20 an hour for swim lessons plus any pool fees, and 12 dollars an hour for babysitting, this can all be negotiated between me and parents. 

If you are interested please feel free to email me.

Hello, 

 My name is Wendy and I have been working in the child care industry for the past 3.5 years, however, I have over 10 years experience caring for children, including raising a step son.  I have passed a National background check and Oregon's background check for child care workers. I am First Aid/CPR Certified and have obtained 400+ hours in Early Childhood Education. There for I am confident that I have the experience and the qualifications that you are seeking in a caregiver.

 Most of my experience is with wobblers and toddlers (1-3 year olds) as this is my favorite age group.  I do however; have experience with children of all ages. I have cared for children on a one-on-one basis and in a group setting.   I am a mature individual seeking a long term, part, or fulltime position.

 I am a very fun loving and active nanny.  I believe that children, especially babies, are learning and absorbing things all the time.  I enjoy fostering this learning and natural curiosity by stimulating them with fun and educational activities.   I also enjoy taking them on walks, setting up play dates, taking them to any classes that you might have them signed up in, and other age appropriate outings.

I am pet friendly, have experience with expressed milk and cloth diapers.   When the time comes I also have experience with potty-training.   I believe in little to no television, I make sure that all schedules are followed, I encourage verbal skills by talking and reading to the children, and I try to get out of the house once a day. 

I generally charge $12/hr for one, $14/hr for 2, and $15 for 3, but I am willing to negotiate to fit your budget.    My rate includes light housekeeping, generally centered on the children.

I have a resume, references, and many more details to give.  Please contact me at pwhobear@gmail.com, atyour earliest convenience.   

 Thank you,

Wendy

 

Hello and welcome to Misty's Little Ones Daycare. My name is Misty McCleary, owner/teacher at Misty's Little Ones Daycare. I strongly believe in children being in a safe, home environment during the younger years of their life while they are away from their primary caregivers. I offer just that: While parents are at work, school or out running errands, I offer a safe place with lots of love, learning and individual attention for your child. If you have multiple children, great I welcome them!

In my home, I have created a nurturing and loving environment where children are encouraged to explore, share their interests and to have their needs met. My goal in this environment, is to have it feel like home to the child, so they can feel comfortable and welcomed.

While I strive hard to learn about each child's comfort level, I also want to learn about their development and interests to keep them interested and engaged as well as comfortable and curious. I think it also helps the child to boost their confidence of having their needs met when the caregiver understands what those needs are.

I believe in respecting the child from birth as a whole and cuing into their needs right away. This will include using sign language from a very young age, always talking respectful to the child and parents, letting children know what's next and letting children do things for themselves.

Parent communication is essential to building a relationship and to help us better understand your child's needs. I encourage drop-ins, parent participation and ideas you may have. Please feel free to talk to me about any concerns or questions you might have anytime.

We also do a little bit of urban farming. We raise 5 chickens & do a bit of gardening in the Spring!

Hello.  I am providing care just across the river in Vancouver.  I run an in-home child care with a very small group of children.

 

 “The e nvironment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.” -Maria Montessori

Children benefit from being able to explore the environment around them inside and outside.  This includes having materials available for them to learn about, touch, explore and for it to be safe to do so.  I believe in making materials for the children to use from ordinary items at home.  This can include anything you might find in the recycle bin: bottle caps, boxes, paper, toilet paper rolls, jars etc.  While outside children should be free to learn about plants/trees, watch animals and insects and run free. This can be done by taking nature walks, exploring the backyard or simply bringing in items from nature to use for projects or simply to observe.  We also do bike riding, digging in the sand box and drawing with chalk.

There are many reasons why parents might need to find a provider to care for their children.  I provide a safe environment in my home with a loving and nurturing caregiver who is very patient and understanding.  I believe in respecting the child as a whole and this will include how I talk and interact with them.  For example letting children learn to feed themselves, pouring milk or juice, answering questions the child might have or just simply giving the child encouragement when trying to accomplish a goal. 

I also offer respite care and was a former respite care worker with the State of Washington for families that have children with special needs.  I have experience working with children with: Autism, Down's Syndrome, ADHD/ADD, blind, deaf, non-walking/cerebral palsy, Sensory Integration, drug addiction and children that need more social interaction in general.  I also have training in several different philosophies including: Montessori, RIE and Reggio.  I try and incorporate the children's art work into our environment along with pictures of the children in play.



I also bring with me:
*Former Preschool Teacher
*Current CPR & First Aid Certification
*Montessori Training

 

Please contact me for more information and if you want to schedule a meeting!

Have a great day!

I'm new in town and seeking an experienced and fun-loving care-giver for my child for 10 hours a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus other occasional nights and weekend babysitting.

I am open to:

*one-on-one childcare in my home

*nanny share in my home or another home in NE with another child, similar age

Please email me if you are interested.  mary@marymulliken.org

We have been in a nanny share with another family for the past year and our nanny, Ahura has been amazing. Our family situation recently changed, in which we had to look at other childcare options. The hardest part of this change is saying goodbye to our nanny.  I hope to help make her transition to another family as easy as possible, so I would like to get the word out there.

When I was looking for a nanny, I spent months trying to find the perfectly person, and I can honestly say that I did. Ahura was responsible for watching our now 18½ month old son from January 2011 to January 2012. She started when he was just a 7 month old baby, till now as a young toddler.  While watching Owen, she also watched another baby 6 months younger at our house, as we shared Ahura’s services with that family.

Ahura is and always will be more than just a nanny. She will always be a special part of our son’s life. She genuinely cared for him and he quickly grew to love her and look forward to his time with her.

We will always be grateful for the love and attention that Ahura provided to our son. We never worried about him while we were at work. We knew he was with Ahura and he was ok. She seemed to absolutely enjoy growing his imagination, developing him, and challenging him and supporting his educational growth.

 Ahura is unbelievably punctual. Arriving a few minutes early everyday. In fact, as I write this, I cannot think of a time she showed up late. Further, she was always patiently waiting for us to come home, even when we failed to return the courtesy by sometimes coming home a few minutes late.

She always reported on the day’s activities and any issues that arose affecting our son’s regular schedule or any other issues that came up.  Never once did she ever complain or seem frustrated, no matter what type of day our son had.

Lastly, she handled the two-family, two baby situation wonderfully. Giving each child the attention they deserved, while providing them with the care and protection every parent hopes for. Further, the added complications of dealing with two families couldn’t have been easy, but we never saw her flinch from it. She handled it with grace.

Bottom line – I give my unconditional recommendation and support for Ahura. I believe she would provide any family looking for childcare services the ideal solution. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, lyndsayb@gmail.com. If you’d like to contact Ahura directly, her email address is ahura@comcast.net.

 

 

Hi mamas and papas!

Would you like a little help with your child, to take some personal time or run errands?  Would you like your child to have a chance to play with another toddler?  I am the mother of a 19 month boy and we live in NE Portland, around 7th and Fremont.  We would like to invite you into our home, which is safe, cozy, and full of fun toys, books, and music. 

I am currently working on my Masters in Education and have worked with children for the past ten years.  My son and I spend our days reading books, playing basketball on our mini hoop, playing music, and exploring Irving Park, which is just a couple blocks away.  We do not watch TV.  We would love to have a new friend to play with.

I am very flexible with hours, but would love to find someone who needs help for 3 to 10 hours per week.  Mornings, midday, and afernoons are best, with the exception of Monday and Friday mornings.  I charge $8 per hour.

Please contact me at onelovelindsay@gmail.com if you have questions or would like to meet. 

Kindly, Lindsay

Sitter Soiree is a local mama-owned company bringing local mamas and papas together with amazing, educated and brilliant babysitters in a fun, no pressure setting. Our next event is scheduled for Sunday, February 19th.

I am a loving and dependable mom to a 1.5 year old, looking to provide care for another child in your home or mine. I have a M.Ed. in early childhood education, and 10+ years of experience with infants, children and families as a preschool teacher and nanny. I have loved working on early literacy by teaching my little one baby signs, nursery rhymes and fingerplays. We like to spend time outside at parks or on walks, too.

We are looking for a family seeking a nanny-share situation. We have an infant who will be 3 months in February and we are looking for part-time childcare beginning as early as mid-February. Ideally we would like to share the cost of a nanny with another family with 1 or 2 children.  We are flexible in terms of days/hours but would like to find care for 4-6 hours, 2 days/week, perhaps with the possibility of increasing those hours after several months if the arrangement is working well. We live in close-in Northeast and hope to find a family within a few miles, either in NE or SE.

Misty M. Years of Experience: 10 years My Rate: $10-$15/hour Background Check: Request Access References: Request Access More> To access my references, background check, current availability, and to contact me, view my full profile on Care.com. http://www.care.com/r/childcare/mistym388 Care.com helps you find local child care, special needs care, tutoring, private lessons, senior care, pet care, housekeeping, and more.

    I am a Nanny that will be available in early January. I have letters of recommendation upon request and a resume as well. I have years of experience with children from my background being a counselor and a jr. counselor at YMCA day camp and week-long camps. I was a first year mentor at my university in Ashland, where I mentored and provided resources to first year college students. I was also an advocate at the SOU Queer Resource Center.  I have been trained in first aid, I have my food handlers card, and a valid OR drivers license. 

    My experience doesnt stop there as I have experiences watching and caring for my good friends' children. I have baby sat infants to teenagers and I know how to balance what children need with what they want. I am extremely trustworthy and a very loyal person, especially to the families I work for. Once I have sat for a family they want to keep me for years. 

    I can cook light, healthy, and especially balanced meals. I can make snacks and have arts and crafts time and even mix play time and learning time together! Learning and laughing I find are often one in the same.  

    I can guarantee you will be satisfied with my energy towards children. Baby sitting in Ashland, OR, taught me so much about patience and sending a child on their own journey through the world. I try to teach your child self love and self esteem building among many other things. 

    I am going to school for Anthropology (cultural) and Art currently. I have experience being an English tutor and Math tutor as well as knowing basic French and I am learning ASL. Along with my academic accomplishments I am skilled in housekeeping, cooking, hair styling/cutting/dying, makeup design, photography, and music. When I graduate with my degree in Anthropology I plan on traveling and studying the dynamics of families in all cultures. The relationships between families, lovers, and children is what interests me the most. How people balance their lives to raise a child and teach it all about life from their perspectives. 

    I am available as soon as Friday December 6th, 2012. 

    When contacted I can email my resume and provide signed letters of recommendation in person. My name is Cassandra and I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello, 

My name is Wendy and I have been working in the child care industry for the past 3.5 years, however, I have over 10 years experience caring for children, including raising a step son.  I have passed a National background check and Oregon's background check for child care workers. I am First Aid/CPR Certified and have obtained 400+ hours in Early Childhood Education. There for I am confident that I have the experience and the qualifications that you are seeking in a caregiver.

Most of my experience is with wobblers and toddlers (1-3 year olds) as this is my favorite age group.  I do however; have experience with children of all ages. I have cared for children on a one-on-one basis and in a group setting.   I am a mature individual seeking a long term part or fulltime position.

I am a very fun loving and active nanny.  I believe that children, especially babies, are learning and absorbing things all the time.  I enjoy fostering this learning and natural curiosity by stimulating them with fun and educational activities.   I also enjoy taking them on walks, setting up play dates, taking them to any classes that you might have them signed up in, and other age appropriate outings.

I am pet friend, have experience with expressed milk and cloth diapers.   When the time comes I also have experience with potty-training.   I believe in little to no television, I make sure that all schedules are followed, I encourage verbal skills by talking and reading to the children, and I try to get out of the house once a day. 

I generally charge $12/hr for one, $14/hr for 2, and $15 for 3, but I am willing to negotiate to fit your budget.    My rate includes light housekeeping, generally centered on the children.

I have a resume, references, and many more details to give.  Please contact me at pwhobear@gmail.com, atyour earliest convenience.   

Thank you,

Wendy

We are looking for care for our sweet and active 2 year old son on Mondays from 11:00-5:30 and possibly 2-5:30 on Tuesdays in our home. I work upstairs on the phone with clients so I am hoping that you will enjoy going out on some mini adventures with him. Be excited about his development and be ready to move as he enjoys the outdoors! We are an easy going family this would be a great opportunity for a college/grad student or someone looking for a couple extra hours of work. We live right on the border of SW Portland and Tigard off of Taylors Ferry Rd. Ideally we would like someone that this fit would be a good one for their life for a year or more.  Feel free to email me at coachwendy@gmail.com

 

I am looking for a child to watch in my home.  I am a mother of two girls, ages 5 and almost 2.  My five year old is in preschool part-time.  We live in the Montavilla neighborhood and frequent the local area activities such as Montavilla community center, neighborhood walks, and Normandale Park.  I am an avid gardener and spend time in our great back yard with the girls everyday.  Cooking gourmet vegan and vegetarian meals is one of my favorite things to do, and I believe allowing my children to take part in the meal preparation and clean up is very important in fostering a strong knowledge and positive relationship with food and community.  As a former preschool teacher, I understand the importance of having a daily rhythm, and providing learning opportunities using engaging activities for the children to work and explore.  We paint, sew, garden, bicycle, read, dance, sing, make things, and play together.  

 

I am very open to schedules and would be available for full-time or part-time.  Mostly I am looking for the right family fit. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you.

AuPairCare Area Director, Portland Area

Experienced childcare provider looking for a position. Would prefer full-time but willing to consider part-time positions or on-call as well. I have multiple years of experience (total of 10 years childcare experience) working with children ages 0-8. Great families for you to contact that can attest to my ability to be on-time and engaging with children of any age.

I am familiar with RIE, Reggio, well-versed in Montessori learning style as well as a bit of knowledge in attachment parenting. Comfortable with cloth diapers (assisting with diaper laundry and children's laundry as well) and feeding expressed milk as well.

I'm cpr/first aid certified, have taken the RRCAN class, am in the process of completing my food handlers certification, and am enrolled in Oregon Criminal History Registry # (for working in a childcare center). Previously background checked through DHS for 3 years, open to having background check run as well as having two through reputable childcare sites (sittercity.com and care.com). Non-smoker, valid license/insurance and reliable vehicle for transportation (5 seat car, 2 car seats or boosters and room for one older child. I may possibly be able to squeeze 2 car seats and 1 booster in back, depending on width!)

Engaging and active; I do multiple activities with children from sensory play (shaving cream, paint, play dough, etc.) to arts and crafts with older children. Familiar with assisting in school-aged learning, assisting with writing/reading, spelling, abc's, 123's, colors, shapes, etc. Primary focus working with children ages 0-6.

I can and will take your children on outings if you would like, am able to assist with errand running/shopping if necessary as well as light household chores (dishes unloaded or loaded, light sweeping, child laundry/room cleanup, etc.). I love going to the park even if it's wet, and love to puddle jump! For outings I do ask you provide the payment for admission fees, etc. 

Available Mon-Fri any time. I do offer weekend sitting but usually reserve it for date-night occasional sitting for families.

If you're interested, please feel free to email me with all pertinent information such as: your care needs (frequency, total hours, daily schedule if varied), a bit about your family/children (names/ages/a bit about them) and what you are expecting to pay.

My hourly rate for locations within 15 miles of my home is $11.50 per hour, for 2 children. Locations further from my home or with additional children are subject to increased fees, etc. I base my price on your needs, family size, as well as location and am slightly flexible with families that can provide me with stability as I can for them. :)

For inquiry/interest please email educatoralicia@gmail.com or call (971)-217-8414. If I do not answer please leave a message; I have a very active 6 year-old with high-functioning Autism and he can be quite demanding of my time. :)

As of right now, I am available the following dates:

11/22, 11/23, 11/26, 11/30,  and the 21st and 28th if you are interested in a share part of the day.

I am also available most Mondays but am accompanied by a sweet 2.5 yr old girl from 9-12.

I charge $13/hr for one or two kids and request a 4 hr minimum. I also do overnights and date nights all year long. I am also willing to be available short notice (subject to my schedule) if your child is sick and can't attend school or daycare or if your full time nanny calls in sick etc.

I do NOT have a car at this time so I prefer families who live close in and/or on a bus line. I live near Lloyd Center. I do like to get out and about on various adventures  with the kids and I have memberships to OMSI, the zoo and World Forestry Center. I am not one to stay home all day, but having said that I am fairly creative and can get into a good art project.

If you need coverage for any of above listed times, or just need occasional date night help, don't hesitate to contact me at greatportlandnanny at hotmail dot com.

Thanks!
