A little bit about me
Working with children has always been my passion, and I truly love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and feel confident. I have extensive childcare experience as a teacher and a childcare director, giving me hands-on experience with children of different ages and developmental stages. I’ve cared for children, planned engaging activities, supported their routines and learning, communicated with families, and handled the many responsibilities that come with providing quality care.
As a nanny, I bring patience, dependability, creativity, and a genuine love for what I do. I believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and encouraged, and I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and caring part of your family.

Hello! My name is Grace, I'm 22 years old and currently a student at the University of Oregon majoring in Family and Human Services. Working with children is my greatest passion in life as it brings me the greatest amount of joy. I am a fanatic about the outdoors! I enjoy going to parks, going on walks, swimming, chalk art, painting, anything you can do outside-I love doing! I am a kid at heart so anything kid related, I love doing. I also love and appreciate stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things and going to new places. It is extremely important to always make sure each child is safe and that will always be my number one concern. I go out of my way to ensure I'm building and establishing a trusting, safe, and caring relationship with each child.I also highly value ensuring that children have fun! This has never been a job to me, I thoroughly love spending time with kids. Whenever envisioning my future job and what I want out of life, it always involves kids.
