A little bit about me
I'm Caroline! I am an infant/toddler teacher with 10+ years of experience babysitting.
My babysitting career began in 2013, when a mom who had hired me as a mother's helper in 2011 (when I was a middle schooler who loved babies) asked me to babysit her toddler. I soon realized I had found my calling! I have cared for children 6 weeks to 9 years old.
I am especially experienced with infants and toddlers, having worked in early childhood classrooms for the past three years.
I am currently a student (I'm an English major) and I love reading books and playing outside, both with kids and by myself!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Stephanie, and I am a graduate student studying natural medicine here in Portland. I recently graduated from UCLA this past June with a degree in Psychobiology, and I am eager to start nannying/assisting families in my free-time. I am fully vaccinated as well! I love working with children of all ages, as I find an opportunity for education in every moment and am aware of the patience and discipline that is required. My favorite job I've ever had was when I worked at an educational summer camp, supervising kids ages 4-12 but personally specializing in the independent aftercare of large groups of 4-6 year olds. Some facts about me: I love to clean, I am experienced in the kitchen, and I am a confident driver. I look forward to hearing from any families who are interested in getting to know me!

A little bit about me
I have been a nanny for nearly 14 years and have a background in early childhood education. I embrace supporting your child's own curiosity and creativity to learn, and emphasize communicating their needs and autonomy in a constructive manner as well as respecting the needs and autonomy of those around them. Whether you're a family or two or ten my goal is to integrate seamlessly into your own parenting plan for your kiddos; I am very open minded to new and familiar parenting styles but am also more than willing to offer advice when asked. I have experience with many different family dynamics and with all ages from newborn to preteen.
