Hello! My name is Allysse, I’m 21 years old, and am a full time student at Portland Community College. When I am not in my online classes I am typically cooking, journaling, or practicing my yoga. I also enjoy going on runs, finding new hikes and trails, and camping any chance I get! I love kids and have been nannying/babysitting for about 7 years now. I can help with light housekeeping, meal preparations, changing diapers/bathing, running errands, dropping off/picking up kids, and helping with TUTORING! I understand there are many kids at home who need help with online classes and extra support in this time. I can assist with any schoolwork your child might need help with while I am there! Have any questions? Feel free to email my personally:

Hello, my name is Olivia! I am 24-years-old, and recently graduated from the University of Puget Sound and got a degree in cello performance. I have a passion for music and working with children and teens--therefore I would eventually like to combine those passions and become a cello teacher. I have been a nanny, a babysitter, and a camp counselor, so I am very comfortable around kids. I am goofy, engaging, fun, and honest; plus, I know how to give positive discipline and establish healthy boundaries. I would love to get to know your child and your family! :)

I’m new to the portland area, attending Portland State University to get a bachelors in biology and pre-med. I have much experience with kids and am very family oriented as I have four sisters and six nieces and nephews. I love kids and would love to have a part time job taking care of yours!

I hope you consider me as a candidate as it would also benefit me while I attend school:)
