A little bit about me
I've been working with children for 8 years as a preschool/toddler teacher and nanny. I absolutely love this field of work and have plans to make it a lifelong career! I strongly believe children are inherently deserving of respect and acknowledgement of their full personhood, individuality, and unique support needs. I specialize in anti-bias and trauma-informed care, with years of training and experience in both methodologies. I also have 3+ years of experience working directly with children with disabilities (especially neurodivergence).

A little bit about me
I bring over 10 years of early childhood educational and care experience, both in and out of a classroom, to every new family. My technique to nannying tends to pull from the Reggio Emilia approach and involves a mixture of gentle guidance and redirection while following the child’s lead based upon their interests and questions. I excel in helping busy families create and maintain schedules that they can incorporate to their homes even when I am not there. I also have experience in home management, organization and design, and helping with any projects or errands to make the day feel lighter for the family. Overall I have dedicated a decade now to caring deeply about every child I meet, and I am looking forward to continuing.

I have extensive experience working with children ages 6 months to 18 years old in various settings ranging from nannying to daycare to summer camp to all levels of schooling.

Hi Parents and Guardians!
My name is Kara. I am 35 years old and live in Portland, Oregon! I have been a nanny going on 16 years now (I can't believe it)!
I have experience with children ages infant - 16 years old. Of course, job responsibilities have varied depending on the ages of the children, but some of my skills include:
Early Childhood Development, Infant Care, Routine Adherence, Development of Social Skills, Recreational Activities (love library time, OMSI trips, and fun outdoor activities!) Behavioral Modeling, Toilet Training, Light Housekeeping, and Maintaining Children's Safety.
I have a pretty flexible schedule and can adapt to most scenarios quickly.
Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos :)

Hello,
My name is Ezruh I’ve never had a nanny position. But I worked for an elementary school where I was a health aid for a boy who has cerebral palsy and was also deaf. It was a classroom setting so I also had multiple other children I would assist with. For roughly 2 years I did that. I also, ran an after school program with children from kinder-6th grade. I currently teach swim at a swim school with children ages 2-12 years old. I am Cpr certified and lifeguard certified.I enjoy working with kids, and would love to help out how I can!

The fact that he is majoring in nursing is an added bonus and gives us extra peace of mind. He is dependable, easy to communicate with, and creates such a positive, relaxed environment. We absolutely recommend him to other families!"
