A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Christine and I am a native Portlandian. I have been working with children since my humble beginnings running the Kids Club at a gym at the age of 18. I’ve worked multiple sessions as a Program Leader for the MESD Outdoor School program, where I provided 24-hour care for as many as 30-plus children, including those with special and specific needs. I am currently working with preschoolers ages 4-6 at a summer camp where I develop programming and provide empathetic, individualized care for my kiddos. I am also the proud auntie to TEN nieces and nephews. All of my kids mean the world to me, no matter the length of time I get to spend with them, but I am always heartbroken when I have to say goodbye after only five or six days with them. I recently nannied during the winter months for a family of five and I loved the strong bonds that were formed. I hope to find the right family that I can support and grow with!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I’ve worked with children in a wide array of settings including but not limited to highly structured outdoor education through the MESD Outdoor School program, developing and executing programming for pre-schoolers at an adventure day camp, working as a live-in nanny for a family of five, and making paper airplanes with children who spoke different languages from all over the world during my travels. I am always looking for new ways to inspire and engage with the little ones I am responsible for.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love enriching the lives of the children I work with through art and adventure. My favorite way to engage with a little one through asking them what they love and finding unique ways to involve their interests. I am always planning a cool new project or activity for us to do together. From finger puppets, to terrariums, to obstacle courses, and cooking; I’ve done it all! Their imagination ignites my own.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Empathy and listening. Every family is unique, and it’s my job to tailor my skill set to the unique needs of my employers.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with kiddos with a wide array of specific needs. I have a lot of experience with little ones who are a part of the autistic and neurodivergent community, and they are a big part of my heart.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Any time I know I have helped a child through a difficult experience is a golden moment in my childcare career.
