A little bit about me

I have worked in reproductive health for 15 years and childcare for 10 years. I value having fun and engaging with littles while providing compassionate, non-judgmental care to them and their family.

I prioritize working with individuals who have a similar approach to my style, which is essentially gentle parenting.

I am a trained birth and postpartum doula, have extensive experience in childhood development. I love, love being witness to the magic of a kiddo growing and exploring.

Outside of my work, I value equity and creativity. I love making art, sewing, being in nature, and spending time with my 3 dogs and amazing partner.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have worked as a postpartum doula and nanny for 10+ years. I have worked with doula agencies, had my own practice, and for individual families.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I always honor a child's development stage. I love incorporating sensory play, story time, going to the museum and library, making art, seeing live music, and incorporating new foods when the time is right. My goal at the end of the day is that the children and families I am working with feel loved, held, and supported.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Ensuring the kiddo and family feels loved, trusting, and safe with me. Also, JOY, ART, and FUN.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moments are being outside with the kiddos I am working with, and witnessing them discover new things in nature.

I love taking flower and plant identification walks and showing kiddos how to smell flowers. Once they do it on their own, it is the sweetest thing.

Kathleen R. - Seeking Work in Portland

Full-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Kathleen R.

I am so excited to be starting a new chapter in my childcare career. Leaving teaching at a school is a bittersweet feeling, as I've built so many beautiful relationships with the children and families I've worked with. Over my years teaching, I've worked hard to learn everything I can about how to best nourish a children's growing mind. I have vast experience working with babies as young as 2 months old and as old as 3. I am ready to dedicate my care to an individual child and family. I absolutely love being a trusted loved one to sweet little ones, and find building secure attachments to be extremely rewarding for all parties. I love playing, reading, singing, and going on adventures with kids. I have an expansive knowledge of baby sign language and find it a beautiful way to communicate with growing minds. I've been planning and carrying out engaging and educational projects on a daily basis. It's an incredible joy to watch a young child experience our world for the very first time!
