Are you an LGBTQIA2S+ parent or primary caregiver of a young child in Portland, OR?
Have you been wondering when the “village” is going to show up to help out? You aren’t alone.
We are building a trusted local network of caregivers, and getting ready to launch family memberships, designed to connect queer families with affirming, high quality caregivers who get it.
Beyond individual care, we are organizing a local movement. By fostering connections, shares, and care pods between nearby families. Our goal is to build and strengthen lasting networks of mutual aid and community care across Portland.

Our Core Beliefs:
For Families: Every family deserves a caregiver who respects their identity, family structure, and parenting choices.
For Caregivers: Excellent care starts with people who are paid thriving wages, treated with respect, and backed by a supportive community.
We are building a private, curated caregiver network designed to connect LGBTQIA2S+ families with progressive, affirming, and thoroughly vetted caregivers who share your values. We are currently developing a community agreement and safety standards to ensure every connection is rooted in mutual respect and care.
When we launch, access to our exclusive network and directory will be available through a family membership model which is designed to sustain this community resource, and keep our matching process intentional, safe, and high quality.
If you’re interested, fill out the form above to tell us a little about your family, and you’ll be the first to hear when family memberships open!
DISCLAIMER: Family Friend is a community networking and referral platform. We do not employ caregivers. All hiring, background checks, employment eligibility verification, and tax compliance are the sole responsibility of the hiring family and the individual caregiver.
