A little bit about me

Hey there my name is Isabella! I have been working with children with 5 years now. I genuinely love what I do and am passionate about working with children. I started off by volunteering at preschool and teaching art classes at a local studio. I have worked with a variety of families including newborn age all the way to early highschool. I am also a registered DSP and have special needs training. I have experience working with kids with autism, down syndrome, and other special needs. Additionally I have worked in houses that require medical attention and care to children. I have done emergency room visits with families, travel, and over nights. I also have been trained and worked through families that have actively been going through the foster care process. I would be so excited to start with a new family soon and can’t wait to get to know you!

Hi Parents and Guardians!

My name is Kara. I am 35 years old and live in Portland, Oregon! I have been a nanny going on 16 years now (I can't believe it)!
I have experience with children ages infant - 16 years old. Of course, job responsibilities have varied depending on the ages of the children, but some of my skills include:

Early Childhood Development, Infant Care, Routine Adherence, Development of Social Skills, Recreational Activities (love library time, OMSI trips, and fun outdoor activities!) Behavioral Modeling, Toilet Training, Light Housekeeping, and Maintaining Children's Safety.

I have a pretty flexible schedule and can adapt to most scenarios quickly.

Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos :)
