A little bit about me
Hi! :) My name is Alexandra. I am passionate about working with children, primarily ages 1-5.
I most enjoy imaginative play and fostering hands-on learning! I've worked as a student aide for The French American International School here in Portland and also have experience as a part-time private nanny for several families.
I feel that I connect with children on the spectrum for autism or other areas of neurodivergence in a special way too, as I am an autistic-ADHD-er myself.
I am in search of part-time or occasional work, can assist with overnight stays, and am also open to longer-term possibilities. Please reach out if you have any additional questions or are in need of references.
Best,
Alexandra

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is London Harvey and I am 18 years old! I recently moved from Colorado to Oregon. Life has been pretty stagnant lately and I’d love to do something that I enjoy and something I’ve always loved doing was babysitting. I’ve always loved hanging out and playing pretend with my little cousins and I think it would be a great thing for me to nanny. Although I do not have work experience in being a nanny, I’ve babysat all throughout high school and I’ve found that to be very fun. I’ve worked at Chick Fil A for 2 years and am currently working at Starbucks. I’m super outgoing and creative! Some of my hobbies include hiking, running, and jamming out to Taylor Swift haha! I am planning on being an American Sign Language Interpreter in the future as well! I took ASL classes all through high school and loved it. Being a nanny is something I’m interested in and I would love to find my first nanny job! :)

Hi, I'm Jennifer. I'm a personal support worker (psw) I took care of a 8 yr old boy who had autism and is 85% deaf. I would bath him, feed him, change him. I was loved with this little boy, so I did everything with this little guy.

Hi! My name is Emilia and I'm from Alameda, California! I have recently graduated from the University of Portland, majoring in Public Health. I currently work at European Wax Center in sales. I’ve babysat, been a nanny, and worked as a preschool teacher throughout high school and college. I love kids of all ages, but tend to prefer ages under 6 years old. I’m available any days of the week, any times that you need me! I’m hoping to work with a family who’s looking for someone to be with them longer-term and full time

A little bit about me
Hi! I have spent 4 years working in child care at two preschools (learning tree and Becca’s place early learning center ) and while I enjoyed where I was full time, I’ve recently decided to put more focus on my art career while holding a part time nanny job :) I am on the ORO background registry and certified in several child care courses as well as hold a good reputation with the parents of the children I worked with. Before child care I had worked with adults with autism and other cognitive/physical disabilities for two years. At Life emp. I was insulin delegated and continued to work part time after leaving to fill in the gap until they were able to hire new help. I am extremely organized and prefer to do whatever I can to make a safe environment and put those around me at ease :)
