A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Anastasia but I also go by the nickname Tori. I am 24 years old and I have over 4 years of childcare experience ranging from babysitting to nannying for children ranging from infants to 13 years old. I am also a registered Personal Support Worker and have nannied/cared for children with disabilities. In 2019 I finished my Masters degree in Business Administration and was working in Marketing for a construction company until I was furloughed last month due to Covid-19. Currently, I am looking for a nannying opportunity, preferably part time during the week days! I have experience with childcare for younger children, as well as experience entertaining and playing with older boys. I love the outdoors, I have a valid drivers license with a clean record and reliable and safe transportation and I am comfortable driving children and having car seats in my car. (I wear a mask, observe social distancing guidelines, and I am smart about observing pandemic guidelines.)

A little bit about me

I am 26 years old and I hold a MA from Portland State University in Sociology. Currently I work for Portland Public Schools in the Research and Evaluation department; however, I am hoping to return to working full-time one-on-one with little ones! I have 10 years of experience with children ranging from ages 0-12. I have a very calm and consistent temperament, and children tend to bond with me quickly. I truly enjoy spending time with young children as they grow, explore, and discover new things about their environment. I love to encourage creative play, read books aloud, go on walks to the park, and more.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Elena Justine Ganev. Born in Vancouver BC, raised in San Diego, and Educated in Arizona.

In 2018 I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Agriculture Technologies Management and Education, while working as a teaching assistant at the University, and a leader in our sustainability organization.

Having grown up babysitting and nannying, child care comes naturally. I love to educate, explain, and grow with their intrinsic curiosities. Additionally, I am a certified nutritionist and am more than capable of cooking healthy well balanced meals.

Currently, I work as a part-time business development associate (a glorified title for an intern) about 20 hours a week remotely, on my own schedule. So any days or time preferences you have will work.
-------------------------------------------
I would love to learn more about you child(ren) and your individual needs. I know parents can always use an extra set of hands, so I'm here to assist any way I can.
