A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Madison and I have done childcare on and off as long as I have been working. I miss child care!

My experience has a couple spots where it says I was working with 0 children, that is because I was working with a nanny agency and providing care for several families a week.

I have experience working as a daycare assistant and lead teacher for toddlers. I worked in an elementary school supporting English intervention, running 9 tutoring sessions a day, and after school program and providing care during an english learning program for parents. I worked as an Au Pair in Germany.
I am FIND, STARS and Safe sleep certified, please ask me about it!

I believe in meeting people where they are so that I may build relationships from there.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Kerry. I've been taking care of children since I was 12. That's 15 years! First I helped out at an after school care facility, then graduated up to older and older kids and all different types of kids as I got older. I have a lot of skills that are handy both on and off the job. I love art and have a degree in Book Arts from OCAC. One of my favorite things to do with kids is teach them to make a book from one sheet of paper. I also speak poor french :)

I have cared for differently abled and able bodied individuals. Ranging from a teenager with Spina Bifida, to tiny babies! In special needs care I have experience with catheterization, G-tubes, and much more. I also love to play and read books with children. I think it's important to be actively engaged with children and to really pay attention to them. I believe in RIE philosophy and that listening to children is incredibly important.

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.
