A little bit about me
Hello, I’m Chloe! I am Oregon born and raised and have lived in Portland the past four years after relocating from eastern Oregon. I have a daughter in kindergarten as well! I have worked as a preschool teacher for the past four years (lead teacher for the past two) at a nature-based Montessori-Regio type of school. I have a background check done through ORO and have a current CPR/First aid certification. I love being outside and believe kids should be too! My main goals for small children are to love without bounds, teach social and emotional tools and gently teach independence. I love to cook, read and am a huge animal/insect lover and move all of those interests into teaching children. My main goal is to step away from the classroom, but still teach children because that’s what I do! I’m looking for a more flexible environment while I pursue another degree in the spring (part-time and online). I come with many, many glowing reviews from parents and would love a chance to chat!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a rising junior in college who loves working with kids and creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment. I’m very active and enjoy spending time outdoors—whether that’s going to the park, playing games, or just getting fresh air. I also love pets, so I’m more than happy to help out in a home with animals.
I’m big on imaginative play, board games, and keeping kids entertained in creative ways. At the same time, I’m responsible and dependable, and I’m happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, and tutoring if needed.
I strive to be someone kids feel comfortable with and parents can trust, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family this summer!
