Find a Nanny Share in Portland, OR

Family of three humans and one cat. Julia works in HR, Anthony is a transportation planner, baby N is an easygoing, friendly, smiley little boy. We moved to Portland from Seattle last June. Our ideal nanny share: The key for us will be a family and nanny that are communicative, reliable, and open-minded. We would love the family to have a child of similar age, but otherwise are open to all kinds of other life and parenting styles. We are a COVID-cautious household (vaxxed/boosted, mask in public, test regularly) and are looking for the same in a share family and nanny.

Hi! We're Katie and Joe! We welcomed our baby L. into our family in September. We moved to Portland from San Francisco this past summer, so we are very new to the area and in search of other families with babies to do a nanny share when we return to work in the new year. For the time being we both work remotely for our jobs in SF so are both working from home. We have two very friendly dogs and are open to hosting the nanny at our home or joining at someone else's home. Our ideal nanny share: We are first time parents and would be great to join another family in a similar stage

J, S (age 3) and I live in north Portland with our dog Lucy. We are expecting another little around Christmas 2020. Our ideal nanny share: We are looking for one or two families with a 3 or 4 year old to join our nanny share. We have had the same nanny/friend for 2.5 years and she is awesome. There was another family in the nanny share for the past few years but that child started preschool this week. Our nanny has made her living room into a classroom to provide a preschool-esc experience for Sierra and potentially 2 other preschoolers this fall since we didn't feel comfortable putting her in preschool given Covid. Hoping to find the right fit to join our small pod!

Looking for a nanny share for a 1 year old. My schedule varies but I will mostly be needing care Monday-Wednesday 6:30 AM-5:30 PM with some shorter days. Am open to hosting or having someone else host. We enjoy walking outside, and reading lots of books together. Our ideal nanny share: Would ideally like to share with someone close by with a child similar in age

My husband and I had our first child, a baby boy, on 12/21. Our ideal nanny share: We are hoping to find another family who's interested in doing a nanny share with us! We would love to find someone with a child similar in age to ours, located close to us. The hours can be flexible but we do need full time care. We're ideally looking for 4 days per week but open to 5 for the right family!

My wife and I are expecting identical twin girls no later than mid-July, 2021. We both work and have one pet cockapoo (28 lbs) that turns ten years old this fall and he doesn't shed. As for fun, we like to be outside and host friends for dinner with good food and drinks (pre-COVID). We also stay in close touch with family, albeit from a distance as most live in Michigan. This also means we travel to see them occasionally (2-3 times/year). Most everything we do for fun has been tabled during COVID and we've basically spent the last year quarantined like everyone else, so lots of Office and Schitt's Creek reruns! Also, these are our first kids, so I expect to answer the "what we do for fun" question differently a year from now. We are open to all options re. hosting (our house, yours, alternating, etc.). Our ideal nanny share: Laid back family, non-smokers, small to medium-sized dogs OK but no cats (allergies), no more than two kids - preferably infants or toddlers. "Child-proofed" home, clean criminal record. Communicative when ad hoc things arise like sick kids, family visiting/staying in-home, major daily schedule changes, upcoming vacation plans, etc.

Myself, husband Erik, son D., dog Kylee, cat sushi. Our ideal nanny share: 1-2 kiddos under 7. Active parenting style (likes the outdoors and activities).

Two-mom family with a 2 year old toddler. Our ideal nanny share: We have a fantastic nanny and looking to add another family to our share.

We are J (age 5), C (2 1/2), and mama (Megan). Dada (Dennis) is a very involved dad but lives outside of the home. J is in in-person Kindergarten near our home. Mom works full time (currently from home) and works standard/stable hours. We love the outdoors, music, reading, and playing sports. Our ideal nanny share: We are looking for another 2 year old to join our nanny share in SW Portland (Raleigh Park) starting December 1. Your child would join my 2 year old (June 2019 birthday) in our home, which is set up with a well-outfitted playroom, a fenced in yard with a play structure, and a dedicated bedroom for napping in a pack n play. We also have a double stroller and are walking distance to the toddler-friendly playground at Raleigh Park and the West Slope library. Music, reading, movement, and art projects would be a regular part of your child's day as well as outdoor play rain or shine. We are looking for someone to join us 2-4 days a week Mon-Thu from approximately 8-5 from December 1 through the end of June. (For example, our past share was on Mondays and Tuesdays from 8-5 and occasionally the other family would add time on Wednesdays, based on grandparent's availability) I am not open to not hosting the share at this time, as my Kindergartner joins the group after school lets out on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays. All adults in the home/family including the nanny are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and that would be our expectation of the joining family as well. There are no children in the home who are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination yet, but they will be vaccinated once eligible. While we are somewhat COVID cautious we do have a Kindergartner in in-person school and I am looking forward to going back to work in person once the office opens in January, just to set expectations. We are pro-vaccine, pro-mask, and pro-parent's mental health for having children in care while working while accepting the risks involved with that choice. We do have an established nanny who has 10 years of experience in early childhood education and who we have known and loved since 2019 when she was our older child's preschool teacher. She has worked at Happy Hollow Children's Center, the Nike Child Development Program and the Children's Daycare at Portland State. She graduated from Portland State with a bachelor's degree focused on education. She's worked in diverse schools that focused on multi-sensory experiences based on a mindfulness curriculum that cultivated empathy and emotional/social skills in children. Her methods are creating an approach to ensure a positive development for the child's emotional, social and cognitive learning. She uses positive behavior intervention strategies and mindful language that builds upon trust and compassion with the child. She believes that exploration and discovery are key components that enrich the beauty of the child's unique development. She creates a non-judgmental, safe and calm presence with children. Nanny has been background checked and has a clean driving history, and ideally would be cleared to transport your child by car within reason for daily adventures around the Portland area. As the host family I do offer her paid vacation time and paid sick time. The rate for the share family would be $13 per hour paid directly to the nanny under your own contract with her.

We are a family of 3. Andrea, Chris, and baby H. We are a mid and late 30s couple. Chris is a Portland native and Andrea has been in the Portland area for the last 10 years. We both used to work in higher education and have since transitioned into tech - Andrea in education technology. No pets currently and likely not for a couple of years. We said goodbye to our sweet little Maltese 2 years ago and we are dog lovers but we knew we were family planning and wanted time to adjust as a family of 3 before inviting another pet in. We both work from home most days but have the option of office spaces here in the Portland metro area. We love traveling (obviously not during COVID times), spending time outside, going on walks, runs, and just enjoying everything the PNW has to offer. Our ideal nanny share: Ideal share would be another smallish family (1-2 kids) with another kid >1 for some socialization for our little one. Equity, inclusion, and care for one another and our community are important values of ours so a family with similar beliefs is a must. Open, transparent, and thoughtful communication are also important to us. We try to practice gratitude and patience in all of our relationships, including our parenting approach.

We are a family of three humans and one corgi. Our son is 19 months old and currently in daycare. He loves dogs, playgrounds, books, and food. We have two potential nannies in mind who have babysat for us. Our ideal nanny share: We're hoping to find another family that values outdoor time, doesn't worry about the occasional Baby Shark video, is pro-vaccine, and communicates well.

We have a family of 5 soon to be 6. Our ideal nanny share: A family of color that cares about education and monitored screen time.

We have lived in SE Portland for three years and welcomed our first baby in May. We enjoy stroller walks to brunch on weekends and spending time outdoors. Our ideal nanny share: We are generally easy going but keeping baby safe with vaccinated friends is important to us.

We have one daughter, S, who was born in July 2020. My husband is an attorney and I am going back to work as a nurse practitioner starting in April. My husband is already fully vaccinated and I will be getting vaccinated soon. Our ideal nanny share: We love the outdoors and are looking for a situation that will encourage outdoor play. We would prefer 1-2 other children either in similar age to S or a little older. I will be working half time and do not know my exact schedule yet but will likely need care 3 days/week.

We're Chris and David and we welcomed our daughter to the world in March 2021. We recently relocated from San Francisco and both work in the tech industry (advertising and healthcare) from home and would love to nanny share with another family in the area. Chris was previously a Broadway musician and David was an elementary school teacher. We love the outdoors and exercise, eating delicious food and cooking. We're both fully vaccinated and share our home with O and our two cats. Our ideal nanny share: Partnership with a like-minded, caring, and flexible family. We're excited for our daughter to make friends with another baby and build a relationship with a caring nanny. We live in a home with plenty of space to host and would be happy to rotate hosting with a family.

We are a family of three with a yellow lab and have been the primary host of our current nanny share since our son was 5 months. He is now a year old (in April) and we are looking for a new nanny share, as our nanny is moving on in July.
