More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I've been a nanny and a babysitter since I was about 12 years old. I grew up watching neighbor kids, and as I got older I took on some local babysitting and nannying jobs, as well as helping nanny for my 5 nieces and nephews throughout the last 10 years. I also briefly was a nanny for a very busy family in Lake Oswego; I did some housework for them, drove the kids to and from their various appointments, helped them with their homework, fixed them lunch and snacks, and helped set up for their dinner.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love to do crafts such as yarn work and drawing/painting, as well as physical activities like hiking, playing catch or simple sports, and yoga. I'm also very fond of puzzles and board games. I've very open to trying new activities that interest the kids I'm looking after.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I think its very important to make sure that kids feel heard and listened to, and that gentle words and patience are key. I also make a point of setting time aside for bad days and big emotions.
The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite experiences I've had was teaching some little ones how to play frisbee. At first they really struggled, either throwing the frisbee off some random way or crashing into the ground. With some time and encouragement, we figured it out and were playing catch with the best of them. I loved seeing how proud of themselves they were, and we quit when they finally got bored of it.

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Eden M.
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.

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Richard S.
I have devoted the better part of my life towards working with kids in various capacities from ski instructing to summer camp directing to program development to tutoring. My philosophy when it comes to childcare is based around creating a safe and engaging atmosphere where kids feel they can try new things and experiences without the fear of failure. I believe in experiential learning by way of getting outside and engaging in the world around us. I don’t believe in talking down to children and in fact I try and engage with kids on a level of mutual respect and trust. I believe in positive reinforcement and giving kids a second chance when it comes to behavior problems in the sense that without the tools to understand what they could have done differently in a given situation a child may never learn to correct that behavior. I have spent time as a prep-cook and a line cook in various commercial kitchen settings. My hobbies include skiing, mtn biking, climbing, camping, and travel.

Part-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Rose O.
My approach to nannying is a balance of support and structure. I believe that patience and understanding is important for children to feel safe and cared for. I also believe that setting boundaries and expectations is essential to help them grow.
I have worked with youth of all ages for 9 years and have developed skills of individualized care, communication, and assistance with development. I am aware that every child has their own unique personality, needs, and wants. And so I tailor my care for each child in a way that best nurtures their needs, desires, and growth.
