French Speaking Babysitter Available

Responds within a few days

I've taken care of kids aged 14 months to 11 years for the past 5 years. Currently I work at a mental health facility and am planning to transition back to nannying when I start graduate school in the fall. In addition to working with kids with behavioral challenges, my experience includes taking care of second language learners, care for families with up to 3 children, and overnight care. I have also coached a group of kids at a music camp, ages 11-14. I enjoy building a relationship with every family I work for and genuinely enjoy spending time with and getting to know every child!

We had the pleasure of having Hadas as our care giver for 2+ years, as she cared for our 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old daughters. Hadas built a strong connection with both kids and they love her dearly. She engaged our kids with creative activities, provided their daily meals, and ensured their safety and well being throughout the day. She is skilled with all aged children, from infant, toddler and beyond. She stays cool under pressure and handles kid meltdowns like a pro. Hadas has the ability to turn a stressful situation around and handles tough scenarios with patience, care, and a positive attitude. We still depend on Hadas for babysitting from time to time, which is a huge treat for our family. Any family would be lucky to have Hadas as their primary child caregiver and I'm happy to provide any additional detail needed.

We hired Kassidee as our nanny to look after our two boys (7 and 5) and our dog. She was absolutely wonderful with all of them. She is very kind, punctual and trustworthy. We are so grateful we found her! She was very helpful if I needed extra help around the house and was great about keeping the boys busy with activities, games or taking them on nature walks rather than screen time. We would highly recommend her!

Babysitter/Nanny

Responds within a few days

Hello! I'm Emalee and I have been a babysitter/nanny for 12 years for children ages 3 months to 14 years old, one to six at a time. I work well with kids of all ages, but most of my experience in child care is with kids 6 months to 10 years. I most recently worked as a live-in nanny for a family with three children, focusing on the youngest boy, a now 6-year-old with special needs. This involved making 3 meals a day, scheduling their after school programming, doctors visits etc, planning for and helping with travel, as well as homework help and recently running their individual distance learning programs. I also did light housework. I am very flexible and can easily learn kids routines, interests and what they are comfortable with so that they can really enjoy our time together. I love to spend time outdoors and spark kids creativity by doing art, crafts, reading, and cooking together.

Hi, I'm Jackie, a Western Washington University graduate with a Spanish degree and double minor in International Studies and Leadership Studies. While in college I nannied for families all over Bellingham.

Originally from Portland, I decided to move back amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic (and have been following social distancing and CDC recommendations). Growing up I was involved in Girl Scouts which provided me with many opportunities to get involved in my community, interact with young kids at camps, and have lots of fun! I continued on to volunteer as a Girl Scout Leader in 2019. Since moving home, I have missed working with children. I am looking for part-time or occasional babysitting jobs. Please reach out if it sounds like a good fit. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello, my name is Sophie. I am a thoughtful person who values open communication. I am currently enrolled at PSU (remotely) studying Conflict Resolution.

Hi there! I am moving to Portland in August to attend grad school for school counseling and would love to nanny while there.

Absolutely the best nanny I have ever had. To this day I use her as a standard for anyone else I hire. She genuinely cares and loves children. She has even answered my phone call in the middle of the night to watch the children when my family had an emergency.

Maddie is amazing with our 2 boys! The first time she came to our home and met our boys, they instantly made a connection with her and didn't even cry when we left.

Experienced + Engaging Nanny/Babysitter For The Family

Hi, I'm Kate! Since moving from Chicago to the PNW, I don't have the extensive network of young families I am used to.. so I am turning to Care. Com to connect me with the right family! I moved to SE PDX a year ago to be a rep for a pharmaceutical/non-profit. I found myself disenchanted by the direction my career took (sales! yikes!) so I'm currently on a sabbatical, of sorts, figuring out what to pursue next. As the development and flourishing of children is my JAM, I'm looking to find one or two lovely families I can devote my current time and energy to during the weekday, after school, date nights, travel, etc. Prior to my sales/marketing stint, I spent 10 years working with 12-18-year-olds in wilderness therapy, a residential home, court, and schools from the Rockies to the Blue Ridge Mountains. I have experience with EVERY stage and age since birth including *multiples* and children with ASD, ADHD, Sensory Processing, Feeding Issues, etc.
