A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Allison Ryan, and I graduated from Lewis & Clark College last May. I played collegiate soccer and Ultimate Frisbee there! I grew up in San Luis Obispo and was a part of the Avila Junior Lifeguards program for 11 years. I was an aide instructing children in beach safety, ocean swimming, running, paddling, and games for 3 years! I went through beach lifeguard training and I am first aide and am CPR certified. I was a pool swim instructor a few summers ago as well. I love being around kids and hanging out with them! I have nannied every summer for the past three summers. I am currently an early childhood education specialist and work with children ages 15 months to 3 years old in a therapeutic model classroom. I am in charge of providing breakfast and lunch, driving the bus, and also teaching in the classroom. I have experience in helping with elementary school-aged homework as well. I hope to nanny in my time before I go to grad school for either pediatric OT or PT!

A little bit about me
I have been babysitting for almost 9 years now. I have always had a passion for caretaking. I recently moved to Portland and am looking to find a great family to help out! I am an organized, loving, creative young woman. I come with solid references to back up my experience with kids. I put safety first whether I am taking the kids to the pool, making collages together, taking walks in the park, or baking cookies together. I also come fully prepared with nutritional meals to cook for the kids I work with. I have also worked as a housekeeper so I am comfortable doing jobs around the house like laundry, cleaning, getting groceries, etc. I have my own transportation! I have a strong educational foundation and a love for nurturing and helping children develop in their own ways. I want to contribute to your children's growth and development and I'm confident in my skills that help do so. I can't wait to meet your children and family and make strong, lasting relationships!

A little bit about me
I’m a part-time nanny as well as a mom to a toddler. I like to keep things lighthearted when I work with kids. I’ll often offer to play a silly song so that little ones can dance and get their energy out in a positive way. I also offer both hugs and space, both talking time and cool down time, depending on what kids seem to be communicating that they need in the moment. I typically try to speak to young children without too much “baby talk,” so that they can grow their vocabulary and become competent communicators.
My approach to childcare is informed in part by the ~3 years that I worked in daycare settings. In those environments, I learned a lot about child safety and typical child development. In nannying settings, I’m able to adapt that knowledge to the needs of the specific home that I’m working in.

A little bit about me
Hello! I'm Jed and I am from South Carolina, but have been living in Portland for the past 3 years. I was a nanny for a family of 4 kids for many years when I lived in SC, and it was such a fulfilling job. Now that I am in Portland, I would love to get back to working in child care. I am a goofy, animated, person, who loves to see kids get creative and use their imagination. I was a special ed teachers assistant for a while and I also have a passion for helping kids learn. In my free-time, I love to cook, hike, read, travel, and I am also a portrait photographer.

The fact that he is majoring in nursing is an added bonus and gives us extra peace of mind. He is dependable, easy to communicate with, and creates such a positive, relaxed environment. We absolutely recommend him to other families!"
