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!

A little bit about me

My name is Sabine! I am a fun and outgoing nursing student with over ten years of childcare experience. I live in SE PDX with my partner of 6 years, our dog Maia and two cats (Bill and Turtle). I enjoy all things outdoors, playing board games, and working at OHSU as a nursing assistant.

I personalize my care based on the child's needs. I like to create a safe space for children by providing clear boundaries and communication. I believe that for a child to feel confident and independent they need a stable foundation. I excel at conflict resolution, encouraging active play time, and putting babies/toddlers to sleep.
