A little bit about me

Hi my name is Gissela but I go by my middle name Nataly. I've taken care of my nieces and nephews way back in the day since they were newborn up until they turned 14/15 years. If my brother or sisters wanted a date night, they knew who to call. I am reliable, dependable and have CPR & first aid training, it also helps, I've spent 6 years helping my husband with his CPR classes ( he is an instructor) and years of watching the videos really sticks. I am 37 years of age, married, haven't been blessed with kids, but we have a little cat named Penny who we adopted 5 years ago as a kitten. I started my business selling cookies & sweets about a year ago and hope it grows!

A little bit about me

My name is Heaven Leigh (Heavenly). I am 25 years old. I decided to become a nanny when I used to babysit back in middle school and fell in love with everything about it. I've cared for all children of various ages, needs, and types of personalities. I know that every child is different and has their own way of doing things and learning things. Which is what makes them Amazing.

A little bit about me

I have nine years of childcare experience, including nanny work, daycare, and as a teaching artist. I used to use a different nanny site, so although I am new to this site, I'm a veteran of working with new families! I have worked with all age groups, various disabilities (blindness, autism, ADHD, and others). I have taught a workshop on working with neurodivergent students. I have been a live-in nanny twice and have become close with multiple families! I have early childhood education experience and have created simple curriculums and educational activities! I love the outdoors, reading, arts and crafts, building things, and playing games!

A little bit about me

I am a recent graduate of Gonzaga University, where I pursued studies in Accounting, Marketing, and Religious Studies. Since 2018, I’ve been working in childcare, and I am currently employed as a teacher at a daycare in Beaverton. My passion for working with children stems from their boundless energy and curiosity and aligns well with my desire to create an understanding and empathetic environment within the world. I am proud to provide children new avenues to explore their interests and develop both socially and academically.

I am an avid basketball fan, a passionate Lego enthusiast, and a cinema aficionado. I also have a special place in my heart for animals (especially dogs) and love spending time outdoors. My love for music and theater has been a part of my life since childhood. This passion expanded through my work in the music industry, both independently and with the world’s largest entertainment company. (though I am still re-learning guitar after a basketball injury... oops!)

A little bit about me

I have 3 years of official childcare experience and am also a full-time mother. I will, and am open to, recertify my cpr and first aid. I am also open to being able to drive your children after the first 30 days, as I prefer to understand the temperament of your children as far as travel. I have been caring for children in many different capacities voluntarily since I was very young; I helped raise my own baby sister. I am looking to move to Portland and am open to live-in availability. I prefer evenings and two additional days off so I may have personal time with my daughter who will be accompanying me. I am a loving disciplinarian type who loves adventures and new experiences. I am able to help with ALL AGES.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Elizabeth and I have been working in childcare for over 10 years. I’ve worked in multiple different countries with all ages of children from infancy to +12. Some of my passions are traveling the world, learning new languages, yoga, meditation, art, and music. My experience ranges from volunteering my time working for preschools in Peru and Argentina to hosting after-school art programs in Oregon. I feel working with children is a direct way to make an impact on the world. They have so much to teach us and it’s an honor to be a safe space for children to express themselves.
