About Alison

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I'm Alison, a professional nanny and household manager in Portland and mom of three (including twins) who are now grown. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, registered with Oregon's Childcare Background Registry, and have clear background and driving records. With experience from preemies through teens, I'm confident caring for newborn needs, breast milk handling, baby wearing, twins, allergies, potty learning, and more. I always leave homes cleaner than I found them and am happy to help with laundry, dishes, and light tidying. Families I've worked with describe me as nurturing, reliable, and organized, and I bring excellent references, recommendation letters, and strong reviews. I also foster cats with a local rescue, so your pets will be just as loved as your kids.

We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have Alison with our family for the past two years, caring for both our children (now ages 3 and 1, the youngest since birth). She is everything you could hope for in a caregiver: calm, dependable, and wonderfully low-key. There has never been an ounce of drama, only steady, consistent support that makes our home run smoothly. Alison is extremely responsible and reliable, always on time (or early!), and communicates clearly and respectfully. With our kids, she is endlessly patient, teaching and guiding them through the toddler years with kindness and creativity. She engages them in learning and play, always at their level, while also maintaining structure and consistency. On top of her wonderful care, Alison is tidy, organized, and proactive; she notices what needs to be done and takes initiative without being asked. More than just a nanny, she has truly become a partner to us as we raise our girls. We feel like a united team, working together to give our children the best possible start in life. Our home always feels cared for when she’s around, and our kids light up when she walks in the door. We truly cannot recommend Alison highly enough. She has become an important part of our family, and any family would be lucky to have her.
