About Portia

Experience: 3 yrs

If you are looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible babysitter or nanny, I'm available! I have experience with children of all ages and can help with homework, light meals, and keeping kids engaged with fun and safe activities. Whether it's a date night, a few hours during the day, or a regular schedule, I'd be happy to help give you peace of mind while your little ones are in good hands. I'm happy to provide references upon request! I'd describe my personality as effervescent, diverse, and exciting. I like working with kids because I have a little brother who is 6 and watching him while he grows up is like watching flowers bloom from a seed. It's truly beautiful. I started working with kids when I was 12 because that's when my little brother was born. In my spare time, I like to go fishing, shopping, get food, and hang out with my family. One thing you should know about me is I am studying business and accounting at College of Lake County

Portia has watched my daughter several times in the past, and I have always been impressed with her responsibility, patience, and care. She is dependable and follows any instructions given. My daughter loves spending time with her, and I feel completely at ease knowing she is in good hands. I appreciate how Portia engages with her through activities, keeps her safe, and makes sure she’s happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter.
