A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Alexandria. I’m 20 years old and someone who naturally brings a lot of energy, patience, and care into everything I do. I love being around kids and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where they feel comfortable and supported.
I am currently in college working on my prerequisites, however my schedule is pretty open so I am looking for some way to keep myself busy!
I’m very organized and attentive, so I’m good at keeping routines on track, helping with daily tasks, and staying on top of things without being asked.
I’m responsible, reliable, and take my role seriously, especially when it comes to a child’s safety and well-being. I also understand how important it is to communicate well with parents and respect your home, your rules, and your parenting style.
I’d love the opportunity to be someone your family can depend on and to bring a positive, caring presence into your home. Thank you for considering me!
Sincerely,
Alexandria

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Claire 🤍 I provide small-group care (1–2 children) for infants and young toddlers in my Tigard home (97223).
I keep my space intentionally calm and low-ratio so each child receives truly attentive, relationship-based care. My approach focuses on connection, emotional development, and creating a secure, predictable rhythm to the day. Children are supported in building confidence, regulation, and trust through consistent presence and gentle guidance.
Our days include outdoor time, simple play, and age-appropriate routines, all within a peaceful home environment. I prioritize clear communication with parents and provide regular updates so you feel connected and at ease.

A little bit about me
I’m a part-time nanny as well as a mom to a toddler. I like to keep things lighthearted when I work with kids. I’ll often offer to play a silly song so that little ones can dance and get their energy out in a positive way. I also offer both hugs and space, both talking time and cool down time, depending on what kids seem to be communicating that they need in the moment. I typically try to speak to young children without too much “baby talk,” so that they can grow their vocabulary and become competent communicators.
My approach to childcare is informed in part by the ~3 years that I worked in daycare settings. In those environments, I learned a lot about child safety and typical child development. In nannying settings, I’m able to adapt that knowledge to the needs of the specific home that I’m working in.
