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
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.

A little bit about me
Hello,
My name is Mack and here is a little bit about me. My pronouns are they/them. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. I am a Senior graduating in December from Reed College with a major in Religion. I have hopes to receive my PhD someday. I’ve technically worked with children since I was a young child, due to the fact that I have three younger siblings, two of which who have varying disabilities. I am Oregon Central Background certified, as my job is at a daycare! I work mostly with smaller children but I do have experience with older kiddos. I cook and clean. My hobbies include listening to music, dancing, drawing, and exploring nature and the city alone. My method for engaging with children is meeting them where they are at. Constant communication, in my experience, has always helped address difficult situations. If you are looking for someone who can balance fun and practicality, I am the person for you. I will make sure your kid has fun, feels safe, feels heard and is safe!
