A little bit about me

¡Hola!
I'm Paula, originally from the picturesque island of Mallorca in Spain, I bring with me a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for caring for children.

At 27, I've embarked on a new chapter in Portland alongside my partner, who recently secured a job opportunity here. While I finalize paperwork to transition my career as a certified teacher in the U.S., I'm excited to dedicate my time to what truly brings me joy: enriching the lives of children and making meaningful connections along the way.

With a diverse background in childcare, including babysitting, tutoring, and being an au pair, I've had the privilege of nurturing children aged 1 to 14. My educational background allows me to not only care for your children but also to engage them in language development and academic growth.

I'm eager to extend my services to your family and embark on this journey together, nurturing bright futures and creating cherished memories.

¡Hasta pronto!

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Madeleine and I'm looking for a great family in need of some after-school help! I am a Lewis & Clark graduate in my mid-twenties who has experience nannying, leading educational workshops, cooking, and studying French. I was a Communication major and French minor in school and have been working on a farm as an Education Coordinator for the past year and a half.

I can provide support with driving to school for pick-ups, meal prep, and light cleaning as well as homework help. My preferred tutoring subjects are French, English (Reading and Writing), and Social Studies but I can adapt to what your child needs! My pay rate will depend on the number of kids, duties, and driving distance for school pick-ups.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Portland, OR

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Portland Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a nanny?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
  • Are you open to a live in arrangement in Portland? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
  • Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Portland?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in OR? Do you own a car?
  • What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
  • What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help

Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny

Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
