A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Autumn and I am 24 years old. I have been a server for about 5 years at a restaurant, Din Tai Fung. I have a Bachelors degree from PSU in Clinical Health Science and transferring over to a Masters of nursing either at OHSU or Linfield within the next year. I also have completed a CNA program. I have also been a co-teacher at a preschool, responsible for 3-4 year olds. Sometimes 20 total at a time, educating, engaging, playing, and building a relationship. I have been babysitting children ages 0-14 since I was 12. I have two nephews, 11 and 5. I helped raise them both growing up as we lived in the same household and I have a passion for it. My nephew who is 5 years old was diagnosed with autism as well, which I have helped him with that when I can. I am educated in the necessary skills such as diaper changes, feeding, nap times, play time, fun outings, educating, moving our bodies etc. My schedule is flexible and would love to babysit/nanny when I can!

"Emily is an exceptional caretaker and my son absolutely adores her. She is patient, gentle, and very engaging. Her approach to childcare is exactly what we wanted in a nanny: soft, encouraging, and matching the energy my son needed to be around. Most of all, we appreciated her dedication. She showed up for every pick up on time and was flexible when we had something come up. There was not a single day where Emily was late. My 6 year old is very high energy and Emily encouraged him to play outside for as long as possible. She took him on walks where they picked flowers and visited other neighbors. I would entrust Emily to watch my son again at any time, no questions asked. We are very thankful for her care and can’t recommend her enough to prospective families."

A little bit about me
I bring 10+ years of youth care and enrichment experience, including leadership and direct support in Outdoor School, summer camps, Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCA afterschool programs, public schools, youth arts, and Special Education settings.
I focus on individualized, strengths-based care—especially for children with autism and other neurodivergent needs—using observation, consistency, and empathy to support each child’s growth. I believe learning and development are most meaningful when guided by a child’s interests, curiosity, and pace.
Fun and play are also at the core of my work with kids! I love to act silly, play characters, sing songs, act out scenes, read aloud in character voices, and anything else that helps to positively engage.
I aim to be a steady, positive male role model, creating a safe, encouraging environment where kids feel seen, respected, and empowered to be themselves.

A little bit about me
Hello!
My name is Kiara and I have over 7 years of experience in the nanny and childcare space. I have worked with children ranging from 2 weeks to 12 years old but specialize with those 7 and under. I have worked with medically fragile and those with disabilities which is also a specialty kind of care I can provide. I am BLS certified (A step above CPR, intended for healthcare professionals). I am actually a nurse by trade, but in a transitional period in my life and career as I take a step back to cure some burnout and care for an ill family member and would love to invite part time work as a nanny once more (I did it from high school and up through nursing school). I am confident in my ability to care for your children, engage with them, and make our time together a blast while also enriching their age appropriate development in fun and exciting ways.
Fun facts: I am a dancer (Latin ballroom, jazz, and hip hop!!), bookworm, love being out in the sun, and am the queen of crafts :)

"Makenna was very hands on with my 3 children! She watched my two little boys and once I had my daughter she watch her as early as 2 weeks old! I didn’t ask much of her. I asked that she care and provide for my children. That she was active with them. Not only did she do excellent in providing care and love for my children but she went above and beyond. On days I worked late she made dinner for not only my children but myself and my fiancé. She also always kept the house clean (which we did not ask her to do but much appreciated since we both worked 50-60 hour work weeks!) She showed my kids nothing but love like she was part of our family!"
