A little bit about me

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.

Eden M. - Seeking Work in Portland

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.

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.
