A little bit about me
I just recently graduated from Oregon State University and I am now currently attending Portland State to earn my Master's in teaching. I have over a year of nannying experience for a family with four children (ages 2, 4, 6, and 8), and I have 2 years of experience as a camp counselor for children aged 4-13. I love working with kids and I hope that I get a chance to do it this summer! I have classes on Tuesday and Thursday, but other than that I am completely available. I look forward to meeting you! :)

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Sese, and I’ve been nannying for collectively 2 full years. I’m 19, and born and raised in Portland! I’ve always been passionate about childcare type work, and am working towards a degree in Psychology to eventually become a therapist for adolescents. My first long term nannying job started about a year before COVID, and ended when COVID started in March of 2020. The family was amazing, and their (at the time) infant daughter and I grew an amazing bond over the year. I still see them often! I then took a short break and began nannying for a 8 month old little boy for about 6 months. Though those are my longest term jobs, I have experiencing working here and there with children aging up to 11. I’ve spent this summer traveling Europe, and I plan to be home at the end of August! I love being outside, doing art projects, reading, being with my cats and cooking. I have experience doing light housekeeping as well as a bit of homework help. I hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Jacey! To introduce myself a little, I am a 28 year old full time PSU student. I am CPR and first aid certified and am certified in blood borne pathogens training. I enjoy reading, hiking, art, museums and anything outdoors. I am at an intermediate ASL level of education and would love to incorporate it throughout your little ones day and be more than happy to teach whoever wants to learn. I am happy to regulate a purposefully structured environment for your child and provide the necessary tools for their minds to absorb.
I am fully vaccinated with three boosters. Feel free to ask me any questions! :)

A little bit about me
I’m a fun-loving and creative person who enjoys spending time outdoors and bringing that energy into my work with children. In my free time, I love hiking, kayaking, and gardening, as well as making art and finding new ways to be creative. I’m also a big animal lover — especially cats — and I enjoy sharing that gentle, caring spirit with the kids I work with. Families often find that my mix of playfulness, patience, and warmth helps children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn and explore.

A little bit about me
I am Sheily González, a responsible, patient and loving person with a great passion for childcare. My experience taking care of children is 1 year but I have a brother that I have taken care of since I was a baby. So I consider myself a reliable and punctual person who is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of children at all times. I easily adapt to the needs of each family and I am excited about the idea of meeting them to see if I am the right person to take care of their children

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Samara but you can call me Sam. I’m turning 19 in November, I have many years of experience with all age groups of children. I enjoy being around kids, teaching, caring, building relationships. I’m currently living in my first apartment and trying to find a job that I’d know for a fact I’d enjoy, I want to be dedicated to something.. look forward to “work” everyday and what best way to do it then be around amazing, growing, new personalities. Communication is important to me, as well as routine and a game plan so I’ll always be prepared and on time! I would prefer to look after children in their homes to ensure their comfort but I’m willing to welcome anyone that feels comfortable into my home as well. I have no car but I’m saving up for one! No schedule preference and ready to start whenever!!
