I am looking for a part time to full time Nanny share. I would have my sweet, smart and energetic 2.5 year old son with me. I prefer to have children learn to play and follow a seasonal curriculum.

Since the start of COVID-19, I have decided to make a career change from public health administration to child care / education in hopes of maintaining a healthy work-life balance while still exercising my passion for family development.
As a sitter, my goal is to help families bond and prosper without overstepping boundaries. I aim to strengthen relationships by lightening the demanding workload that comes with being a parent to enable families more time and emotional energy to live in the present.
I am happy to provide references from past employers and families I have worked with.
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.

Our nanny’s experience & background:
I have been working with infants and young toddlers in Portland for the last seven years and specialize in nanny shares with infants.
My caregiving is heavily influenced by the RIE philosophy. I attended a 10 day RIE Foundations Course with Polly Elam and Debbie Bergstrom in August of this year, deepening my understanding of infant needs and development. The principles of RIE put respect into action with the goal of raising secure, confident, and autonomous people. A family interested in Montessori style learning and/or RIE would be a good fit.
I am skilled at helping young infants find their rhythm and settle into a schedule, and believe the familiarity of (flexible) routine supports them in feeling secure in the world. Baby wearing, sleep training, cloth diapering, breastmilk and formula, and baby led weaning/beginning solids are all things I am very comfortable with.
I love taking children out into the community to engage in activities like story times, music classes, and nature exploration. Out in the world, we build relationships with other nannies and children, expanding the children's social-emotional development.
Amber is very reliable and always on time. She has extensive experience which is obvious when seeing her interactions with my daughter. My daughter is always very excited to have Amber watch her. Having an educational background and extensive child experience make her an excellent candidate for anyone looking for a quality nanny. I recommend her without any hesitation. - Craig
Justina was so perfect for our family. She was kind, thoughtful, gentle, focused on early childhood education best practices. Our two kids are different people, and she was able to meet the needs of both of them so well. She is fantastic, and any family would be so very lucky to have her. - Jennifer
