A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Gina and I have over 8 years of experience working with ages from newborn-seven years old, but am comfortable with all ages. I've worked as a preschool teacher, nanny, mother's helper, and babysitter. I am very knowledgeable about early childhood development and have experience planning developmentally appropriate and engaging activities. I use a positive discipline model and believe in the importance of relationship building between caregiver, child, and family.

A little bit about me
Hello, I'm Ruby Mae!! I'm from Montrose, Colorado but I just recently moved to Portland. I was a library worker but I want to shift my career into nannying/babysitting because I miss working with children. I used to be a behavior technician for children on the autism spectrum and I absolutely loved it. My favorite parts of the job included setting up sensory activities, playing with instruments, and snack time. Who doesn't love snack time? I'm willing to contribute to house-keeping, meal-prep and even pet care if your family has pets! I'm CPR, First Aid, QBS certified, and Covid-conscious.

A little bit about me
My name is Arielle, but most people call me Ellie. I’m a fun and outgoing person who loves to do arts and craft hands on projects as well as learning something new through experience. I love to read and actually enjoy helping with homework. I have two younger sisters as well that are 6 and 8 that keep me on my toes but also show me what types of things kids are into now days so I’m a lot more fluent in kid talk then most. I’m willing to do whatever is needed of me to make sure you feel not only comfortable with me watching your children but also know that their in great hands and will be learning something hands on and not being babysat with televisions and other forms of electronic devices. I prefer to be outside enjoying the fresh air, at least as much fresh air you can get with a face mask that is.

"She’s a great help and the kids loved her. She always had something planned for them to do and even had the youngest involved. She kept the house clean and even did homework with my oldest. Even got my oldest doing her chores without it being a hassle. Took her to all her after school programs and helped teach my youngest to talk. But Covid happened. We’ve made plans already to have her come back to helping us out again!! She’s a great person to have helping out the family!! Won’t let you down and always reliable!"

A little bit about me
I love to participate in arts & crafts and i feel like all kids should be allowed to also. It’s a way of showing emotion and having fun at the same time, while growing their imagination which is an important part of children’s development. I love to explore nature, and view parts of our world that are so beautiful. Even if it’s just playing in the grass🌳🌈 I am a very easy going person, full of love and laughter. I am a high school student, but i do want to work with children in my future, and continue nannying through my college years. I feel i am a reliable, respectful, on time, and a flexible supportive person.
