A little bit about me
Hi!
My name is Amanda but I tend to go by Mandi. I just had a beautiful baby girl named Mila, she is 3 months old. I’m wanting to start working again, but I’m in need of a job I can bring her along with me to. I absolutely adore babies, toddlers, children. I’ve never professionally been a baby sitter, but I’ve baby sat multiple times growing up and in teenagehood. I also have experience with children with extra needs such as autism, and cerebral palsy.
I personally love the idea of incorporating montessori style learning into daily life. Its important for children to have fun, but also learn at the same time.

A little bit about me
Hello families! My experience: I've been a registered nanny for a nanny agency, worked at a church nursery, and worked independently for myself. I've worked with every age of child, from 2 months to 17 years. About me: I've travelled to 18+ countries, and have lived, studied, and worked abroad for several years, mostly in Canada, having recently completed my BSc. I am a Portland native, so this is home for me. My approach to childcare involves patience, kindness, and guidance that aligns with your family's lifestyle and preferences. My goal is to create a seamless childcare experience for you and your children by aligning my style of childcare with your parenting style and routines, tailored specifically to your children, and to be as consistent as possible. I strongly believe childcare is such an important and special job, and I feel honored to have done it as long as I have. If you are looking for a nanny and I sound like a good fit, feel free to reach out! *My rates do vary*

A little bit about me
I’m Courtney, I’m 20 years old. I have my associates degree and women’s studies certificate. On top of that I’m trained and have experience as a nursing assistant, first aid and CPR certified. I’ve been working with children since I was 14 and I’ve never worked a job I love more than nannying. I’m goofy, smart, and creative and these traits come out most when I’m with kids. I love to read books, find educational games to do, have a themed arts and crafts day, cook a meal together, go on nature walks and count how many creepy crawling bugs we find. Any further questions you might have feel free to ask!

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!
