Kimberly Watkins

Southwest Portland, Portland$17/hr | < 1 yr experience

(Fully vaccinated as of 5/24)
Greetings! My name is Kimberly and I am a 23 year old Oregonian currently residing in Portland.
My approach with children in my care is to treat them as growing intellectuals who I am assisting with everyday tasks. They’ll have questions that I have answers for, and I am ready to help them develop skills and routines they hadn’t prior.
I am open to doing housework and/or running errands as needed, be warned that I’m not a chef but I can follow a recipe.
Open to either full or part time, just looking for the right family!
Thanks for reading this far, I look forward to hearing from you. :-)

My name is Jordan, I am 28YO and work full time in Women's Healthcare at an OBGYN in NW Portland. I've always nannied on the side and enjoy all ages!

I am still working with the few families I listed under experience and didn't add every family. There wasn't an option for me not to add an end date. I also have more families I help with on an as needed basis that weren't documented.

Jennessa Jackson

Portland$14/hr | 4 yrs experience

Hi families! My name is Jennessa Jackson, I have been in the childcare field for about 4 years now going on 5. I am 19 years old, a college student at Portland State University studying Child, Youth, & Family Studies hoping to be an Occupational Therapist one day or an Early Childhood Educator. I have experience by being a nanny for a family in NE Portland for two girls ages 6 and 9, since they were 2 and 5. While doing that, I was in High School completing Sabin-Schellenberg’s Technical Center - Child Development Program. I did this all four years. The first year was a more textbook informed study, second year was hands on with kids aged 3-5. The third year consisted of me in Mt.Scott Elementary School working as a Kindergarten Aide, and the last year was a practicum level 2 for child & family services working as a Kindergarten Aide as well. I just recently worked at a Daycare in Portland working with kids aged 1-5 , but had to be cut short because of an unexpected family emergency.
