A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Giselle and I am a recent graduate from the University of Oregon's honors college. I have lived in Lake Oswego since high school and spend a lot of my time babysitting when not studying or playing tennis. I love being active and exploring, whether by playing sports, hiking, walking around the zoo or museum, etc. I have nannied children of all ages and needs, from 8 months to 15 years.

I strive to go above and beyond. As a bilingual woman, I would love to also provide an opportunity for kids to practice their Spanish (as approved).

I have a clean record, have never been in an accident, and I do not smoke or vape.

In my free time I love to workout, play tennis, try new recipes, read, and hike.

I look forward to getting to know your child(ren) and providing a positive and safe experience for them as I help in their care.

"Giselle worked with us during her summers and college breaks, and continued working with us after graduation. Throughout that time, she consistently demonstrated an outstanding work ethic, professionalism, and a level of maturity and responsibility that set her apart. She is highly dependable, and someone who approaches every responsibility with care and dedication. She takes initiative, adapts easily, and can always be counted on to do her very best. What makes her especially remarkable is her character. She has a tender heart and a natural ability to connect with people, making others feel comfortable, valued, and understood. These qualities were particularly evident in her interactions with our patients, who benefited greatly from her warmth, patience, and compassion. Beyond her professional abilities, she is simply a wonderful human being. She is thoughtful, conscientious, hardworking, and genuinely cares about doing what is right. I’d highly recommend her to any employer."

More About Me

The most important part about being a nanny...

I LOVE when a kiddo finds something they really enjoy or overcomes a problem and just beams with happiness and pride. It is the most pure moment and hallmark of success as a nanny that I got to witness it happen.

My experience with special needs children...

I babysat for a little boy with Cerebral Palsey for 7 years.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When the toddler who had been incredibly shy for the few months I had been watching him cuddled up with me and offered me her blankie because I asked if she was cold too.
