A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Maria, and I bring over eight years of experience in early childhood education, most recently as a school director and educator coach. I’ve chosen to step away from administration for a bit and return to caring for children one-on-one and supporting families.

I have cared for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, supporting each stage of development with warmth, patience, and routines. With infants, I focus on creating a safe, loving environment through gentle care, sensory play, and responsive feeding. For toddlers and preschoolers, I help guide early independence with activities that encourage curiosity, problem-solving, and self-help skills, including toilet learning and diapering with patience and consistency.

I naturally weave learning into everyday moments; whether it’s singing songs during diaper changes or practicing language through story time and ready to attend to families goals and needs.

I am CPR/First Aid certified. References provided upon request.

Tyler O. - Seeking Work in Portland

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!

I believe caring for children is more than a job it’s a calling! I bring patience, creativity, and a nurturing spirit into every day, helping little ones feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore the world. With a balance of fun activities, gentle guidance, and consistent routines, I create an environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually. I’m attentive to each child’s unique needs and personality, and I work closely with families to ensure we’re a true team in supporting their growth. Whether it’s story time, outdoor play, or helping with homework, I approach each moment with care, joy, and reliability. I hope to be the next addition to your family :)
