A little bit about me

Hello! I'm a parent of a teen (just off to college!), a long time school/little league volunteer (my son did Montessori through middle school), former Santaland elf, a professional tour guide, and started in 2019 being employed by a neighbor for mornings getting her preschooler and kindergartner to school and summer camps. I watched them part-time through pandemic times and virtual schooling and then switched to another family with twins who are now 7yo, also doing the morning 'get them off to school' shift (I've also done the 'pick them up from school shift'). I enjoy meeting kids on their level and helping them navigate being themselves. I believe in being a full household helper, and try to tidy things during my time in your home. I'm a cat lover and happy to attend to pets as well.
* During peak tour season (June-Oct), my availability is less, especially on Fridays.

More About Me

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

I've been a room and team parent, field trip chaperone, assisted with in-class crafting, and led school trip nature hikes at Tryon Creek.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I mostly follow their lead! This can be arts and crafts, legos, toy trains, walks/biking/parks, reading, singing/dancing, and cooking/baking. I prefer not to spend time with media (watching videos, gaming).

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being an extra hand in the family life. Making things easier for the parents and the overall home life. Following the child and their needs.

My experience with special needs children...

I don't have any specific training, but the boy I watch in the early mornings was recently diagnosed with autism.

Full-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Tyler O.

Hi! My name is Tyler! I love being a sitter because I like to help out when I can, and become an influence in a child's life. I am the oldest grandchild in my family with made me the automatic babysitter growing up. Spending time with my little cousins never felt like a job as I always kept things fun whether it be through creative or outdoor activities. I also worked for a neighborhood recreation center where I was an after-school and summer camp counselor. This experience also taught me how to help out with many kids at a time and problem resolution skills while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I am both first-aid and CPR certified and take pride in keeping environments safe. I am always hyper-aware in public environments and prioritize safety. I prioritize communication and time management. I also have my own car, so running errands and driving around is not a problem!
