A little bit about me
Hello, I’m Alicia, and I’m 20yo and currently taking a gap year. I have experience caring for my nephew and my little sister, who are toddlers. I love playing with them and just spending time together. I'm a pretty good cook and also a house cleaning. Spanish is my first language, and I'm fluent/native in English. I love weightlifting, going on hikes, and deciding if I want to major in Physics or engineering. I am available throughout the week, including weekends, except for Tuesdays. I don't own a car or driver's license; I will rely on public transit.

Hi my name is Julie and I'm looking for a full time Nanny position. My last job I was the full-time Nanny for one wonderful family that have a 3-year-old boy and a 6-year-old boy. I will be available to start a new nanny position ASAP. In my previous job before that I was a Nanny in a Nanny-share for a toddler boy and girl who I still continue to take care of occasionally. Before that I was working with babies and toddlers 2 months old - 2 years old at a daycare as the head care provider. I have also nannied/babysat for several other families and have worked with all different ages. Plenty of references can be provided. I absolutely love what I do and I hope to continue working with little ones helping them flourish and grow. I have many years of experience as a Nanny, and I am also CPR/ First Aid certified, registered in Oregon's criminal registry, and have recently taken an infant safety class at OHSU. If you're interested I would love to send you my resume. :)

Hi!
I work full time as an interior designer, but am looking for some part time work to make extra cash to pay off my student loans. Growing up my mom had a preschool where I would always help out, and thats where I got all of my initial clients for babysitting. I am responsible, love to clean (not even joking haha), and am open minded. I will be a combination of someone your kid likes to hang out with, but who they also respect and will listen to. I am comfortable with all age ranges. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi! My name is Grace Green! I previously studied Art in Santa Barbara, California, but wasn’t quite sure what direction I wanted to take, so I moved to Hood River for a change of scenery. I’m now studying online and living in the Portland area!
While I was in Santa Barbara, I worked as an assistant teacher at a preschool with children ages 2–4 and older. I also worked at a daycare throughout high school for three years, where I cared for children ranging from 3 months old to almost 4 years old. I helped with things like snacks, nap time, activities, crafts, and creating a fun and safe environment for the kids.
I’m very outgoing, active, creative, and genuinely love working with children! I really enjoy keeping kids engaged, encouraging their creativity, and making sure they have a fun and positive experience. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I could be a good fit for your childcare needs!
