A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Jennessa Jackson, I have been in the childcare field for about 4 years now going on 5. I am 19 years old, a college student at Portland State University studying Child, Youth, & Family Studies hoping to be an Occupational Therapist one day or an Early Childhood Educator. I have experience by being a nanny for a family in NE Portland for two girls ages 6 and 9, since they were 2 and 5. While doing that, I was in High School completing Sabin-Schellenberg’s Technical Center - Child Development Program. I did this all four years. The first year was a more textbook informed study, second year was hands on with kids aged 3-5. The third year consisted of me in Mt.Scott Elementary School working as a Kindergarten Aide, and the last year was a practicum level 2 for child & family services working as a Kindergarten Aide as well. I just recently worked at a Daycare in Portland working with kids aged 1-5 , but had to be cut short because of an unexpected family emergency.

Live-In Full-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Fiona P.

Hi there, I'm Fiona! I have over a decade of child care experience from nannying to teaching in early childhood education, for both infant and toddler classrooms. My work in the preschool setting has been rooted in the Reggio Emilia model of education, viewing the child and caretaker/educator as co-creators of knowledge, with just as much to teach and learn from each other, as well as a deep trust in children's intrinsic abilities and skills to develop and grow. When working with children, I value letting children express their own interests and ideas when engaging in free play. I have experience working with children of all ages, and have particular experience with infants and toddlers.
