A little bit about me

I'm a mother of 6 boys so I'm REALLY good with kids of all ages. I cook, clean, and love all games kids love. Im high energy so I will be able to keep up with the kiddos, and work also. I also have some experience with special needs kids, ADHD, ADD, AND AUTISM (I worked at an elementary school with multiple children plus my son is possibly on the spectrum).

I'm Always available and on time.

I am ok working here in my home or with coming to homes (depending on how far, Vancouver I don't drive to just yet sorry), drop offs/pick ups are ok if it works for you

DATE NIGHT READY🥰

Unfortunately....

I am not vaccinated, and do not plan on becoming vaccinated. (Personal choice) if you are ok like some families I am willing to wear a mask in your home or if in mines around your child. Also outside the home/work I am covid cautious.

A little bit about me

I have worked in reproductive health for 15 years and childcare for 10 years. I value having fun and engaging with littles while providing compassionate, non-judgmental care to them and their family.

I prioritize working with individuals who have a similar approach to my style, which is essentially gentle parenting.

I am a trained birth and postpartum doula, have extensive experience in childhood development. I love, love being witness to the magic of a kiddo growing and exploring.

Outside of my work, I value equity and creativity. I love making art, sewing, being in nature, and spending time with my 3 dogs and amazing partner.

A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Jennessa Jackson, I have been in the childcare field for about 4 years now going on 5. I am 19 years old, a college student at Portland State University studying Child, Youth, & Family Studies hoping to be an Occupational Therapist one day or an Early Childhood Educator. I have experience by being a nanny for a family in NE Portland for two girls ages 6 and 9, since they were 2 and 5. While doing that, I was in High School completing Sabin-Schellenberg’s Technical Center - Child Development Program. I did this all four years. The first year was a more textbook informed study, second year was hands on with kids aged 3-5. The third year consisted of me in Mt.Scott Elementary School working as a Kindergarten Aide, and the last year was a practicum level 2 for child & family services working as a Kindergarten Aide as well. I just recently worked at a Daycare in Portland working with kids aged 1-5 , but had to be cut short because of an unexpected family emergency.
