Hi,

I am a 20 year-old female university student who is living in Portland for the summer. I am taking one class at PSU but other than that have a completely free and flexible schedule. I have extensive experience in childcare spanning the past 7 years. I have been both a full time and part time nanny, wilderness camp counselor, lifeguard, Au Pair, volunteer at a babies orphanage, tutor, ski instructor, and ski racing coach for children between the ages of 5 months and 15 years. I have also worked as a chef in the kitchen at the wilderness and am able to prepare all types of meals. I am willing to commute as long as the house is accessible via public transportation. Additionally, I have my drivers liscense in case the children need to be driven to and from activities, etc.

I am living in Portland with my friend Mallory who has similar nannying/camp experience. We are willing to engage in a nanny share with multiple families, taking care of a group of children in one place. We could go on excursions, play outdoors, etc. Both of us are Lifeguard, CPR, and First Aid certified. 

I can provide references and more information if your family is interested. Please contact me:

Hi there!
My name is Ashley. I am 26 years old and recently graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in Texas back in December. I am looking for a full-time position, at least 35 hours a week, or even occasional babysitting- I am available anytime! While I was in school, I was a nanny for three children (ages 2-5) and was an occasional babysitter for a 4 & 10 year old. I have excellent references that I can provide for you and I have been babysitting on and off since I was 14. I love kids! I'm really big into reading (I absolutely love Fancy Nancy, Harry Potter and Eloise!), making music, dancing,  eating healthy snacks, science experiments, going to parks, arts and crafts, adventure, imagination, silliness and sidewalk chalk. I like to create games and scavenger hunts. I am open to doing cleaning and meal preparation, and any other household chores that need to be done. I rely on public transportation so I will need a family close to the MAX or buslines. Please email me: where you found my posting, a little bit about your family, your rate, and your requirements at ashleyborck24@gmail.com if you would like to to meet to see if your family and I are a good match!

Hi mamas!

I am a 22 year old college student looking for part-time employment (25ish + hrs/wk) with a new family. I am currently a nanny for preschool-age twins, but still have a lot of free time in my schedule. I have been committed to this family for over a year. I am available Mon. anytime after 12:30, 7:30-12:30 on Wed. and all day TTHF. There is room for this position to become full-time through September, but would require further discussion.

Looking for part-time care for 8.5 month old infant while I work from home or occasionally run errands away from home.  Probably 8 hours a week to start, potential to increase.  Also potential for weekly date night babysitting if interested.  Ideally hours would be split over 2-3 days, in 3-4 hour periods of time.  Flexible on which days of the week and whether hours are in morning or afternoon.  Would also consider child care swap with someone looking for similar care in the area.  I live in close in SE, near 48th and Hawthorne.  Email is best, fisher.a.kelly[at]gmail.com.  Thanks, Kelly

Our family is looking for a part time nanny or nanny share opportunity for our 20 month old son and 5 week old daughter.  I am just starting back to work after our daughter was born on February 13th.  Our biggest need  is on Fridays from 9:30 to 5:30, and we are looking for someone with flexibility to spend more time with the kids in the future as they grow and I build my acupuncture practice.  

We are also open to nanny share, our house or yours or a combination of both.  Our neighborhood is full of kids within a few blocks of the park!

We are looking for someone who has experience (with infants as well as children), and can be an extended part of the family for years to come, as we would like stability and familiarity for the kids.  

Please email me with any questions or interest at missymaysm@yahoo.com

 

Hello nannys! I am looking for part-time childcare for my daughter starting in May. I live in Beaverton and work in Tigard so anywhere in between would be great.  I am open to nanny sharing or daycare out of my home or yours. It would be for 2 days a week (Mondays & Thursdays, 7-4ish). My daughter will be 3 months old in May so someone with experience with young children is a plus! I can be reached via email at jolie619@gmail.com.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there. We are looking for a PT Nanny for our 2 little girls, ages 5 and almost 3. Those with the ability to play dinosaurs and barbies, color, paint nails, and read the same book multiple times are strongly encouraged to apply :) Fine Print: We are also looking for someone who is mature, responsible, has previous childcare experience with similar ages, safe car and clean driving record, and CPR certified.

We are a professional couple and I work as a graphic designer on a freelance basis. Hours we definitely need are: Wed afternoons (12:45-4) and Fri mornings (9:30-1:30). If you have additional availability, that would be great as I frequently have a need for more hours as my workload fluctuates.

We live just up the hill from the NW 23rd area, right next to a great community center with a large park, playground and preschool. Our girls attend school there and you will need to pickup (on foot) on one day. Our girls also love to go to the zoo, children's museum, etc.

We are also looking for someone who is comfortable pitching in around the house (unloading dishwasher, folding clothes) as time allows. And we have a very slow, but sweet 13 year old lab who occassionaly likes to walk across the street to the park with the girls.

Please contact me if you might be interested.

Thanks so much!

Hi UrbanMamas!

We moved to Portland recently for my husband's job, and there must be something in the water, because we're already expecting our first child - a baby boy - in June 2013!

As per instructions from almost everyone I know, we're already starting to look into infant care options for when I go back to work full time in September 2013.  We've gotten a few recommendations from my still measly social networks here but mainly we're relying on internet research which seems to be turning up the same few options: ChildRoots, Creative Minds, Grandma's Place, Belmont Academy, CCLC, the OHSU CCLC (we're looking in/near SE).  Or find a nanny.  

I figure this can't be all that's out there or 90% of the babies in SE Portland wouldn't have a place to go.  My prenatal yoga instructor says many places just don't have websites.  Does anyone have ideas - specific places or lists of places?  A nanny or nanny share would also be an option.  I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I don't necessarily need a full-time, 9-6 deal.  On the other hand I've been told not to expect to get any work done if I'm home with the baby, even if there's a nanny there too.  And I do travel for work from time to time, and my husband has VERY long and VERY inflexible hours (he's a resident at OHSU).

Would love to hear from anyone with experience or ideas!  Places you or your friends have sent your babies, lists you've received, other networks you think I should tap into?  Mamas who work from home, any creative ways you've made it work?  Nanny+coworking space?  Would love to hear any and all input!

Thanks SO much,

We have a wonderful nanny for our 21 month old. She is kind, caring, interactive, playful, and professional--she even went to NW Nannies Institute so has professional training and her first aid and cpr certifications. She has been working with our family since Spring 2012 and we are extremely happy with her.  She has experience caring for multiples at both our home and elsewhere.

We are now looking to find a family to "nanny share" with--ideally we'll find a family with a child close in age to 20 months so the kids can become playmates and learn from one another.

The schedule: Currently our nanny works Tuesday through Friday from 8:45 AM to 4:45 PM. We are flexible on hours though and if you need care on Monday, the nanny is availale but it just wouldn't be a nanny share day (since we have Grandparents doing care that day). We are open to full time or part-time nanny share.

The location:  Our preference is to have the nanny share happen at our home because that is what works best for our schedules and the fact that we are a one-car family, but we would be open to discussing other options if someone lived close to us.  We are located on SE 15th a few blocks south of Tacoma--walkable to Sellwood Park, the Community Center, the library, New Seasons and it is a great place for the kids to have some activities outside of the house regularly without having to drive somewhere.

We have a separate room in the house where your child can sleep in a pack and play or in a crib which we could provide if it is regularly at our house.

When nanny share is at our house, we are happy to provide 100% vegan, healthy, mostly organic meals for both kiddos.

The rate: $8/hour per family.  (We do also pay taxes on top of this which we can help you with)

About us: We have our sweet 21 month old girl, 3 rescue chickens and a 60 lb dog named Meg who mostly keeps to herself. We make efforts to be green--from eating a vegan diet to using cloth diapers and natural products. My husband is a teacher and I work in renewable energy. 

Please get in touch if you are interested in discussing more! amandamortlock [@] gmail.com.

We are a working couple seeking a nanny who is available to help care for our 2 children in our home in SE Portland. We need someone who is available regularly on Mondays from 2-6, and occasionally in the evenings. I work from home, as a freelance editor and writer, and my husband is the office manager of a CPA firm downtown.

 Our son, Teddy, is nearly 2 years old. He consistently naps from 1:30-3:30, sometimes later. Our daughter, Elliot, is 2.5 months old and does not yet have a consistent nap schedule, though she does sleep for some portion of the afternoon. We need someone who would be comfortable watching both kids if they are both awake, and who is willing to help out with light housework (ironing, dishes, vacuuming and dusting, some dinner prep, etc) if they are both sleeping. The ideal candidate will have experience with both infants and toddlers, and knowledge (or the willingness to learn) baby sign language. We are looking for someone who can start by mid-February or sooner, and commit to the position through mid-July.

We live within walking distance of the Mt. Scott Community Center, the Woodstock Elementary playground, and the Woodstock public library.

If you are interested, please send us an email detailing your experience and your hourly rate. A background check and at least 3 professional references will be required.  

Please contact Jamie and Melissa at: jamie.yourdon@gmail.com

GREAT NANNY, JUST FOR YOU!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Jillian M. Currently I am looking for a new position as a Nanny. I was involved in a Nanny-share for almost the duration of the year but as the contract term ended and the children turned 1 they were placed in Montessori. I am comfortable doing either another nanny-share, or working for one family. I am comfortable working with up to 3 infants, depending on their ages, 4 toddlers, or 5 children in total but this would really depend on the overall dynamic of the situation. I am also comfortable doing care in your home, or mine. Ideally the position would provide at least 36 hours a week, but this is also flexable as I explore my options.

Here's a little information about me. I have an immense amount of experience with children. I started my babysitting career at 12 years old, after I received my Oregon babysitters training, and CPR certification. Since then, I have had experience in taking care of about 25 different children, usually two or more at a time (five max), in in-home settings. My experience with children ranges from newborns to 13-year-olds. About half of my clientele has been parents of children diagnosed with Autism. I have also worked and volunteered with a school that caters to meeting the needs of children diagnosed with Autism . My tasks at the school included building a summer reading program for some of the more advanced students. I directed the students during "signing times" videos (videos that teach the children sign language). I did teacher aide duties in the classrooms working extensively with the pre-schoolers, and in the occupational therapy room. In addition to this experience, I was also a camp counselor in high-school at Camp Howard outdoor school for 2 seasons.

I love to do activities with children. I am not the type of care provider who will sit children in front of the TV and do my own thing. Just to be clear, I rather children have no screen time during my time with them. I prefer for children to have fun. If the parent permits, I like to take them on outings to the park, or maybe a day to the zoo, children's museum, library, or swimming pool depending on the child's interest. I love doing art projects, or fun cooking activities, playing board games, and will even happily partake in dress up or tea parties. As well as making sure the children enjoy the time we spend together, I firmly believe in education. I like to come up with developmentally appropriate activities that stimulate the intellectual growth of each child. For school aged children I come in great handy for help with homework. 

I am a student and am working towards a degree in early childhood education. I take courses through the local community college's online program, when I transfer next year I will continue primarily with online education. I am familiar with many learning/parenting styles includingMontessori, Waldorf, Attachment Parenting, and Positive Redirection. What I am unfamiliar with, I am willing to learn. My time spent with your children is based on your needs, their needs, and your parenting beliefs. I am very flexiable when it comes to this as I understand it is your child and I enjoy learning new styles. 

I have a license, car insurance, and a car for transporting needs. In addition, I know basic Spanish, and am furthering my skills incase you are interested in your child learning a second language.

I would ideally like a position that offers at least a 1 year contract.

Best,
Jillian

We are looking for a nanny or nanny share 2-3 days a week starting in February for our 3 year old and our little one that is due in early December.

Our son is very sweet and compassionate. He loves going to the park or for walks, trips to OMSI or the Zoo, or just staying inside and playing, reading, or helping cook treats:) We also have an OMSI and Zoo membership. He is potty trained during the day, but we are still working at it during nap/bedtime. We can’t wait to meet our second little guy and are looking for someone who will be comfortable and caring with a 3 year old and a 2 month old, as well as any other children if we end up in a nanny share situation. It would be great to find another family with a child similar age to our 3 year old, so they could have lots of play time during those moments where the nanny would need to be with our infant.

Hello Portland Families!

I am seeking a family to participate in a nanny share!  Also I am available for part time childcare work!  Currently I am working for a family in NE Portland caring for their awesome 4 yo boy.   The family and I are looking for another family to join a Nanny Share 5 hrs a week!

We are really hoping for Weds morning and early afternoon, but more importantly we are hoping to find a buddy around 4 yrs. (3, 4 or 5) to join us on our many adventures (there is some flexibility with the day)!!! 

We are looking for an energetic, creative and health conscious person to watch our 3 year old son from 3:30-6:30 mon-friday in Southeast Portland. Rate and details discussed in person.  Please contact me at hgits@mac.com if interested. 

Thanks

Hi! I am a substitute teacher with a 2 ½ year old and another one due in December. I am hoping to find someone who would be interested in either swapping childcare 2-3 days out of the week or who would be interested in doing a nanny share throughout the school year.

I am reliable, easy going, and being a teacher has given me tons of training and ability to work with kids, so watching your child or two would come pretty natural. My son is also very easy going, potty trained, and is a joy to be around:) If you already have a nanny and would be interested in adding my son and later on, our new little one (probably end of Jan) to the mix that would work for us too. If you are a nanny and are looking for some part-time/on-call work, that could also be a possibility.  

Since I am lucky enough to get most of my jobs ahead of time (usually at least a couple days in advance) there wouldn’t be many weeks that weren’t planned out. I am flexible and open to lots of ideas, so if you have any questions or maybe you think it might work but aren’t sure, please don’t hesitate to email or call.

If any of this sounds like something that might work for you let me know and maybe we can work something out!

Thanks! Kristina

We have a fabulous nanny. She has been with us since our almost 4 year old daughter was 4 months old, and now need to cut back her hours due to preschool. She has been amazing every step of the way, and we wanted to write her this letter of reference to ease her search for an amazing family. We are hoping to keep her with us part time, as she is now one of daughter's best friends. She is magic with infants, and could get my daughter to sleep way more than I ever could. She was adept in all my family's needs; cloth diapers, frozen breast milk, dietary restrictions, and anything we asked of her. As my daughter grew she always was seeking out age appropriate activities. She would search for classes at the community center to attend during her hours, and always taking our daughter to the playground. She takes my daughter all over to places like OMSI, children's museum, the zoo, playdate pdx, and swimming. She is energetic, bubbly, and fantastic with children. She is dependable and always on time. Please contact us via email with any additional questions you may have and we will be happy to call or email you back. For all other non-reference questions, please contact her directly. She has written some information about herself and contact information below. Thank you!

Here is some information from our nanny:
I am seeking a part-time nanny position in order to supplement my current nanny position. I have been working with my current family for more than 3 years, but now that their daughter is in preschool, my hours have been reduced. I am available:
Tuesdays (any time)
Thursdays (til approx. 4 pm)
Friday (any time)
Some Saturdays & Sundays
I am seeking a minimum of 10 hours a week. With some advance notice, I am also available for date nights and other babysitting jobs.

I think that children (and I) do best to get out of the house daily, even if it's just for a walk around the neighborhood. I'm very pro-active about finding things to do and places to go, such as the library, various story times, kid's musical events, playgrounds/parks, Play Date PDX, the Zoo, etc. Portland's such a family friendly place and there's always tons of activities indoors and out, whatever the weather, and I like to take advantage of that. 

I am college educated, but plan to nanny for approximately the next 2 years. I have a clear criminal background history. I have taken infant and child CPR and 1st Aid, but my certification needs to be renewed, which I plan on doing asap. I am a non-smoker and have no pet allergies.

As for my general childrearing philosophy, I am very flexible, but tend to pull my beliefs from multiple sources, especially attachment parenting and Montessori. (Since every family and child is different, I don't believe that any one philosophy is "one size fits all.") I believe in soothing crying babies and being interactive with them, and have experience with cloth diapers, feeding with breastmilk, and babywearing. For toddlers and older children, I believe in learning while playing, silliness, and redirection if needed. Although I am flexible, I do believe that children thrive with some consistency and structure. 

One of the most important things for me is to have a good fit and partnership with the families that I work with. Please contact me via email or phone if you have any questions or would like to discuss things further. I would greatly appreciate if you would include some information about your family, child care needs, etc.

Thank you!

Hi my family is looking for someone with experience and a passion for working with young children to care for our bright, funny, active, precocious, snuggly, adventurous 17 month old girl. Mom is an educator/teacher/academic/writer who has worked across the age and theory spectrum and has a passion for Reggio Emilia, play based and expereintial  learning. I see children as partners in research and experience as well as learning. Since my daughter was born I've been able to learn with and from her and I'd love to find someone who has a background in Reggio or any of the other educational practices I've mentioned. 

Dad works in computer programming from our home office and Grandma (who is a retired educator) live in our in law apartment.

We are looking for someone to give Dad and Grandma a break during the week while I (Mom) will be recuperating from major orthopedic surgery. Hours would be about 15-20 hours a week over the course of 3 weekday mornings (Wednesdays are essential but everything else is open for discussion.) Hours would ideally be something along the lines of 8 or 9 am to 1 or 2 pm.  Primarily we are looking for someone to do the things that I usually do with my active, creative little girl and won't be able to for several months. Trips to the parks near our close in SE home (less than 2 blocks from Kennilworth park, the zoo, OMSI, the children's museum, Mount Scott Community pool (we have membership cards for all of these places), trips to Cafe Au Play, Storytimes, kids music, outdoor adventures and of course just playing and being silly at home.

Because I have no idea what my recovery will look like this is a long term temporary position, somewhere between 4 and 10 months, most likely. This would make a great part time job for a child development student, mom (feel free to bring your toddler or young child), or childcare provider with an afternoon part time position.

Please be over 21 and have at least 5 years varifiable experience. Current infant/child CPR and OCH registration as well as fantastic references would be a HUGE advantage. Please have your own transportaion, insurance and clean driving record or be comfortable using public transportation.

Your primary job will be to take care of our daughter so it would be great if you were comfortable doing projects, helping her clean up, preparing simple kid friendly meals and snacks. We are not looking for a houskeeper, we would love someone who enjoys spending time with our daughter and wants to be included in our close knit family.

Thank you for reading. Please contact Aviva at: aviva@eberlin.net or (503) 528 4833 if this sounds like a good fit for you.

All the best,

Aviva

GREAT NANNY, JUST FOR YOU!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Jillian M. Currently I am involved in a Nanny-Share with two infants, ages 7 months and 9 months. My contract ends at the end of the year when both children will be placed in local Montessori programs. I am looking for a position to start December-February-ish, the official start date is a bit flexiable. I am comfortable doing either another nanny-share, or working for one family. I am comfortable working with up to 3 infants, depending on their ages, 4 toddlers, or 5 children in total but this would really depend on the overall dynamic of the situation. I am also comfortable doing care in your home, or mine. Ideally the position would provide at least 36 hours a week.

Here's a little information about me. I have an immense amount of experience with children. I started my babysitting career at 12 years old, after I received my Oregon babysitters training, and CPR certification. Since then, I have had experience in taking care of about 25 different children, usually two or more at a time (five max), in in-home settings. My experience with children ranges from newborns to 13-year-olds. About half of my clientele has been parents of children diagnosed with Autism. I have also worked and volunteered with a school that caters to meeting the needs of children diagnosed with Autism . My tasks at the school included building a summer reading program for some of the more advanced students. I directed the students during "signing times" videos (videos that teach the children sign language). I did teacher aide duties in the classrooms working extensively with the pre-schoolers, and in the occupational therapy room. In addition to this experience, I was also a camp counselor in high-school at Camp Howard outdoor school for 2 seasons.

I love to do activities with children. I am not the type of care provider who will sit children in front of the TV and do my own thing. Just to be clear, I rather children have no screen time during my time with them. I prefer for children to have fun. If the parent permits, I like to take them on outings to the park, or maybe a day to the zoo, children's museum, library, or swimming pool depending on the child's interest. I love doing art projects, or fun cooking activities, playing board games, and will even happily partake in dress up or tea parties. As well as making sure the children enjoy the time we spend together, I firmly believe in education. I like to come up with developmentally appropriate activities that stimulate the intellectual growth of each child. For school aged children I come in great handy for help with homework. 

I am a student and am working towards a degree in early childhood education. I take courses through the local community college's online program, when I transfer next year I will continue primarily with online education. I am familiar with many learning/parenting styles including Montessori, Waldorf, Attachment Parenting, and Positive Redirection. What I am unfamiliar with, I am willing to learn. My time spent with your children is based on your needs, their needs, and your parenting beliefs. I am very flexiable when it comes to this as I understand it is your child and I enjoy learning new styles. 

I have a license, car insurance, and a car for transporting needs. In addition, I know basic Spanish, and am furthering my skills incase you are interested in your child learning a second language.

I would ideally like a position that offers at least a 1 year contract.

Best,
Jillian

We are looking for a nanny or nanny-share for our 15 month old daughter. I am a teacher and will be going back to work soon part-time. We need care for our daughter Wednesdays (about 11-4) and Thursdays (about 7-4).  My mom is going to watch her Tuesdays, but she will not be available some weeks.  There might be some Mondays & Fridays sprinkled in there as well depending on school schedule stuff. 

We live in NE Portland in the Rose City Park neighborhood.  I teach in SE (Sunnyside neighborhood), so if it was a nanny-share I could drop her off there.  We are able to pay up to $12/hour.

Please contact me if you are interested.  sarahwags12@yahoo.com  503-929-2215
