A little bit about me
I have been a preschool teacher for about 10 years and an outdoor educator for 3 years, since moving to oregon. I am crafty, creative, safety minded, and love performing arts, animals and the outdoors! My goal as a care giver is to empower children with confidence and curiosity. The confidence to express themselves and their needs, and to stand up for others, and the curiosity to learn as much as possible about the world around them. I have training in emotional regulation techniques, as well as problem solving and communication. I have worked with children who have specific medical, behavioral and mental health needs. I have worked in an outdoor survivalist summer camp for 3 summers now, and love to show children the great outdoors and all its wonders!

A little bit about me
Working with children has always been my passion, and I truly love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and feel confident. I have extensive childcare experience as a teacher and a childcare director, giving me hands-on experience with children of different ages and developmental stages. I’ve cared for children, planned engaging activities, supported their routines and learning, communicated with families, and handled the many responsibilities that come with providing quality care.
As a nanny, I bring patience, dependability, creativity, and a genuine love for what I do. I believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and encouraged, and I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and caring part of your family.

A little bit about me
I love helping children learn and grow into kind, capable individuals. I moved to Portland after graduating from Florida State University with my B.S. in psychology and a minor in child development in 2022. I have worked with children for over 12 years now and have been a nanny for the past 7 years. In that time I have had a variety of experiences working in different childcare settings. I’ve worked with many different ages, levels of ability/need, and group sizes. I’ve also had experience both with and without the presence of work-from-home parents. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I strive to always learn new things and stay up to date on child safety and development guidelines. I also pride myself on being flexible and working with families to make sure everyone’s needs are met and that our time together runs as smoothly as possible.

Nanny Lucas
"Lucas is calm, kind, responsible, and so great with the kids — they have so much fun playing with him and immediately felt comfortable around him. 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!"
