A little bit about me

I have 3 years of official childcare experience and am also a full-time mother. I will, and am open to, recertify my cpr and first aid. I am also open to being able to drive your children after the first 30 days, as I prefer to understand the temperament of your children as far as travel. I have been caring for children in many different capacities voluntarily since I was very young; I helped raise my own baby sister. I am looking to move to Portland and am open to live-in availability. I prefer evenings and two additional days off so I may have personal time with my daughter who will be accompanying me. I am a loving disciplinarian type who loves adventures and new experiences. I am able to help with ALL AGES.

My name is Darla and I am originally from the east coast, but have been living in Oregon for the last 4 years.

Emerald D. - Seeking Work in Portland

Full-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Emerald D.

Hello, I’m Emerald, I’ve worked with kids since my early teens, and have years of experience with kids of all ages in single families, nanny-shares, and daycare facilities.
I studied child development in college and love to put my skills to use caring for children from infants to school-age. I believe it takes a village to raise happy, healthy kids and it’s so beneficial for them to have multiple trusted adults in their life that they can trust and look up to. I currently specialize in infants/toddlers but love every stage of development! Read-aloud/creative imagination games are my forte, and I love to encourage emotional regulation and healthy development through age-appropriate activities. I’m well-versed in weaning/potty-training, as well as all the other fun milestones. I enjoy exploring the world with kids (visiting the library, zoo, etc) to encourage self-confidence/confidence in their community. I am pet-friendly/have no pet or food allergies. I am CPR/first aid certified.

Brianna W. - Seeking Work in Portland

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Brianna W.

I have been a nanny for nearly 14 years and have a background in early childhood education. I embrace supporting your child's own curiosity and creativity to learn, and emphasize communicating their needs and autonomy in a constructive manner as well as respecting the needs and autonomy of those around them. Whether you're a family or two or ten my goal is to integrate seamlessly into your own parenting plan for your kiddos; I am very open minded to new and familiar parenting styles but am also more than willing to offer advice when asked. I have experience with many different family dynamics and with all ages from newborn to preteen.
