A little bit about me
Hi families! I'm a 36 year old career nanny with almost a decade of experience with young children in various settings, and 5 years of nannying experience with infants and toddlers, primarily with multiples in a share or as siblings.
Since my current nanny child just moved on to preschool at the end of January, I'm looking for a new family to support and love!
I feel free and uninhibited around young children, which helps me understand and truly enjoy their play, while also reminding me of how important it is to model what it means to be a full, responsible, respectful, and confident person.
My 5 year old daughter, Niamh, comes with me half the month (2 consecutive weeks on/off.) She's come along with me at all of my positions since she was born, and having a playmate has been wonderful every time!
Take a look at my experience and childcare philosophy, and let me know if you think I'm be a good fit for your family!

"Lilly was a fantastic nanny to my daughter Sage. Lilly watched Sage from 2 months old to 2.5 years old. Sage blossomed under Lilly's care. Lilly helped Sage achieve all of her milestones, whether by followed our established plans or researching on her own to find new and creative ways to help Sage grow. Lilly taught Sage sign language, which helped her start communicating early on, since she was slow to talk it was a life saver! Lilly was great a ensuring our daughter was fed well balanced meals and provided with engaging activities. Sage thrived under Lilly's care and I know that anyone else's kids will too. Lilly is great at following instructions and kept the house neat and tidy throughout the day as well as taking on any additional task. I would recommend Lilly for any job that might come her way."

My name is Emily Hughes I'm 21 and I've been interested in working with children for a long time. when I was younger my goal was to become a teacher. Once I grew up I realized I liked being a babysitter more. I worked at a company called Centria Autism for around 6 months, I have my first aid and CPR certifications and I have experience working in high stress environments with children who aren't in the best moods. Im interested in being a nanny because I want to continue to grow and learn in this career field, I want to find the right spot for myself in childcare.

Hello parents!
I taught elementary for a private Christian school for many years and later became there program supervisor (basically same thing as vice principal) prior to that I had also taught Early Childhood Education. Working with children is my life passion. I’m new to Portland well I had lived here for 5 years then moved to VA then to TX my husband was active duty so we moved a lot and now he is done with the military and here to stay so I’d love to find a family to grow up with the kids. I have decided not to go back to teach I just feel like there has become to many politics in the school system and so I can no longer enjoy the reason I started teaching which was teach a child something they will need for the rest of their life. I have open availability but would prefer no weekends. I’m will to discuss that and figure out the needs.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Molly Elyse or M.E. for short. I have been working with children for eleven years. First I was a babysitter, then I opened my own care agency, and after college I went to school to become a special education teacher.
In my free time I love to hike, read, cook, and craft. My sister is a chef and owns her restaurant in Austin, Texas so it’s cool to learn new skills from her in the kitchen. I also recently took up lifting and have made it part of my routine.
I studied anthropology and computer science for my bachelors then I got a dual Masters in Teaching and Special Education. I love the combination of my education because it allows me to see things from different cultural perspectives.
I am looking forward to meeting you and your families.
All the best!

A little bit about me
I m super grandma, super auntie and most importantly super nanny. Easily trusted by children as I show them their safety, knowledge and happiness is my priority. I truly love spending time playing with children, always teaching them to be self sufficient and responsible for their actions. I am loving, patient, compassionate and kind. I am an excellent cook and outdoorsy. I am fluent in Spanish. If you're a clear communicator I am sure I can surpass your expectations. I don't drink or smoke, my driving record is immaculate and my background is pristine.

The fact that he is majoring in nursing is an added bonus and gives us extra peace of mind. He is dependable, easy to communicate with, and creates such a positive, relaxed environment. We absolutely recommend him to other families!"
