The most important part about being a nanny...

I was working with an awesome kiddo who felt afraid of the bath tub. One day we pretended to be fish swimming around the house. He told me that since fish swim in the water he would be willing to try out the bathtub. I love any time a child feels brave enough to conquer their fears!

Hi! My name is Stephanie, and I am a graduate student studying natural medicine here in Portland. I recently graduated from UCLA this past June with a degree in Psychobiology, and I am eager to start nannying/assisting families in my free-time. I am fully vaccinated as well! I love working with children of all ages, as I find an opportunity for education in every moment and am aware of the patience and discipline that is required. My favorite job I've ever had was when I worked at an educational summer camp, supervising kids ages 4-12 but personally specializing in the independent aftercare of large groups of 4-6 year olds. Some facts about me: I love to clean, I am experienced in the kitchen, and I am a confident driver. I look forward to hearing from any families who are interested in getting to know me!
