Layla Gonsalez

Portland$17/hr | 1 yrs experience

Hello ! My name is Layla bu I go by Lila and I've been a Early Childhood Educator for a year and a half immersing myself with ages 0-6. I'm currently a Pre Kindergarden teacher with a Piaget private school program and CDA certified to formally teach ages 3-5. I believe that all children learn through play and experience with adults as their guides through their development. I am also bilingual and use sign language when communicating with children - I believe it is highly prevalent to build those language skills early. I have also worked for Montessori based programs and have previous Montessori training as well as the Reggio Emelia approach. Before I formally taught in the classroom, I spent my time teaching children how to swim! I enjoyed the Mommy and Me classes to regular private lessons which helped get my foot in the door to a formal classroom setting. I can't imagine working in a career without children - I'm extremely grateful to be able to teach our future :)

Have you considered a nanny share?

A nanny share is when one nanny cares for children from two different families. Each family saves significantly on child care expenses, while the nanny enjoys higher pay than the typical full-time position.

Nanny Shares in Portland, OR

The Jenkins Family

Southeast Portland, Portland$12/hr | 1 kid

Hi my kid is 2.5 years now and we want to nanny share with 1 or more families so the price of excellent care is affordable for us while also providing living desired wage to the caring, attentive provider. Our house is available for the care times, we have a big play structure in backyard which is being built now, close to parks and Hammer And Jacks - technically a toy store but I mention bc it has free arts and crafts zone and indoor playground opening back up soon.. just a fun thing for the nanny to take the kids to which is a stones throw away. light housekeeping too if it's at our place would be excellent. I am open to using the other family's location for the care though if they have a preference or switching off locations. just details we will work out together.. Ideally the provider is doing montessori/RIE style care with at minimum: background in studying these things. She is about to transition from her crib soon and is starting a bit of casual potty training now. We just want someone who will be attentive and caring but giving her space to explore and do things on her own too.. Also of note, I am nonbinary trans and only want nannies and fams to reach out if you are at minimum: deliberate LGBTQ+ ally and also Black Lives Matter supporter.

The Hurd Family

Concordia, Portland$18/hr | 1 kid

Seeking part-time care for our lil 5 month old boy, Phoenix. We want to start with 2 days a week, around 10 hours, with more coming in the future. We are looking someone with a fair amount of experience. He has an older 3 year old brother, Oren, who is in daycare and it would be great to find someone that is also available occasionally to watch them both so us parents can get out together once in awhile. Thanks!

The Spargo Family

King, Portland$20/hr | 1 kid

We're looking for a reliable nanny who will take part in the care of our active 10-month old baby boy. We both work from home and need assistance in the care of our son. We can be somewhat flexible on the schedule (days/hours), but prefer something consistent.

Minimal housework would be required but mainly general clean up after the kiddo (from meals, toy clean up, etc) and maybe some light kid's laundry.

We have an older dog who mostly sleeps, although one of us might need to let him out to the back yard from time to time.

We are both fully COVID and flu vaccinated and take current safety precautions seriously, looking for a nanny that is the same

Thanks!!

I am EXPECTING...no baby quite yet! I am doing research to see what this nanny/nanny share process works. She is expected to arrive early February of 2021, and I will be taking a typical maternity leave at that time. So, I will be needing help starting the beginning of May (approximately).
