A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Ansley!
I recently moved from Seattle to Portland and want to continue my love of childcare in my new city. I have 6 + years of experience working with children and in classroom settings and have built many beautiful connections with kids and families along the way. I love spending time hiking and backpacking through the alpine wilderness and exploring all the PNW has to offer us. I'm passionate about traveling, experiencing the world, and learning about cultures new to me. I love cooking and baking (always willing to share :)), as well as painting and card making, and playing card and board games with family and friends. I also coach and play basketball and love the community that has helped me build. Thanks for reading and I hope to connect with you soon!

A little bit about me

I am senior in high school as well as beginning my second year of college. I enjoyed spending my days and caring for kids. I am outgoing and always willing to lend a helping hand. Nannying/babysitting has always been a passion of mine, as I want to go into the healthcare field working with children. Spending my time outside of school nannying is something that I will enjoy doing!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Emma, I’m 21, and I’ve been a certified caregiver/direct support professional for the last 3 years. I started working for my disabled mother 3 years ago, and moved to Portland last summer and started caregiving for special needs/intellectually disabled children between the ages of 6-9. I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified as of a few months ago, and I will be finished with my Oregon Intervention Systems training next weekend! Aside from professional experience, I used to help babysit my ex-partners 6 siblings who were between the ages of 1-14, and sometimes overnight. I’ve always been interested in helping care for children and consider to myself to be very quick to pick up on others’ emotions and try to have empathy for everyone, especially since I grew up with alopecia and adhd and understand what it’s like to be perceived as different by your school peers. I also especially have a heart for LGBT kids/kids who have LGBT parents. I’d love to be able to help wherever I’m able to!
