A little bit about me
I’m a very outgoing and bubbly person. Kids usually love my colorful hair! I have cared for kids of all ages and have been involved with caring for kids since I was 8 years old. I know how to handle tantrums, aggression outbursts, and all of the less pleasant behaviors a child might have. I’m great with helping kids do their school work, exercise, and I can teach them how to cook/bake, and much more. I have experience with potty training, infants, toddlers, young kids, pre-teen, and teens. I am CPR certified, first aid certified, valid drivers license, car, and insurance. I am only open to nanny jobs with the children being at my house. I work from home full time, with an older cat, kitten, and small dog (mini aussie). I am looking for part time or full time, depending on the situation. I prefer kids over 5, as I do not have the energy (currently expecting) to chase around a small child (1-3year old). PT a few hours a day for under 3 I am open to

A little bit about me
Hi families,
I graduated from college with a bachelors degree in Psychology in 2017 and have 6+ years of professional childcare experience. I love to stay active through dancing, daily walks, eat insanely healthy (I know! boring), read anything philosophical, get involved in my community, attend local live music gigs, morning mediation etc. You could say I have a very calm demeanor

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!
