Hello! My name is Annika, and I would love to work with you and your family. I grew up working with kids, my mom was a teacher and I was always by her side watching her interact with kids, and learning so much from her. I continued to go onto becoming an swim instructor for 4 years and got many opportunities to work with kids through that, which include nannying, babysitting, and becoming parts of families that I am still in contact with today. I really look forward to working with you.

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Brooklyn and I am a pre-medicine undergraduate student at Portland State University. Before working as a nanny to three wonderful special needs boys I worked as a caregiver in a long term residential care facility for two years. This job gave me extensive knowledge on how to work with all age groups with all different kinds of disabilities. I am one of seven children and have brothers who are on varying spots on the autism spectrum and this gave me a passion for working with children with special needs. I have also worked for a family whose child is neurotypical and have loved every minute of it. As I am a full time student my schedule has to be worked around for classes and testing and I may not be able to work as much during finals weeks and such, but with most classes online my schedule is still mostly very open!

We absolutely recommend him to other families!"
