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 Emily! I am 22 years old and a recent graduated from University of Puget Sound. I now have my bachelors in Kinesology and Neuroscience and plan on applying to medical school in three years.
I love reading, the outdoors, and I have the most adorable cat!
I have a car to commute to you! I would be open to one time coverage or a long-term position.
I started babysitting when I was 13 (ages ranging from infant to 10. years old) and became a camp counselor at 17. Here, at camp, I spent 8 weeks of the summer with a cabin of ~12 campers ages 13-15 years old. I do, however, have experience working with all ages. At 15 years old, my family adopted newborn twins and I was a crucial part of their upbringing. I have a car to commute to you! I am graduating in May, but am planning on staying in the Seattle area post-graduation, and I would be able to move to full-time in the summer!
