A little bit about me
Hi. I'm a mature mother of 3, my oldest daughter is grown and has children of her own, I have 15 year old twins at home, so I'm comfortable with all ages.
I've been working in child care my whole life.
I've worked in many daycares and worked many nanny jobs up until I ran a small in home daycare in Portland for the last 3 years. You can contact all of those families upon request.
• I have 30 years of experience working with children.
•I am CPR certified and CBR enrolled.
•I can provide many references.
Recently moved back to southern Oregon because it's my favorite place to be and I'm looking for part time work (babysitting) through the summer until I start a daycare or nanny share in Grants Pass in the Fall.

Hi There!
Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me! As you can see from my profile, I am not only experienced with childcare but it is my place where work does not exist. They say if you find what you love to do you will never work again, being with young children brings that to me.

A little bit about me
After working as a preschool lead teacher for five years, I’ve realized how much I value deeper, more personal connections with children. While I love the classroom environment, I’m now hoping to transition into a nanny role where I can focus on 1 on 1 support, individualized learning, and more meaningful moments throughout the day. I’m excited to bring my experience, patience, and passion for early childhood development into a more personalized setting.

Nanny Andrea
"We have been lucky enough to have Andrea nanny our one and sometimes two boys. She’s truly a part of the family. She’s always on time, entertaining the boys, and even cleans when the boys are napping. They love her so much they cry when she leaves! Our boys enjoy being outdoors most of the day and require A LOT of energy. I never worry about their safety or comfort. I 10/10 recommend her."

Nanny Silvana
"Silvana was a very nurturing nanny. She had the difficult task of being the first nanny to care for my 6 month old son. She knew what to do and helped my son quickly overcome the separation anxiety. She brought him toys and played the flute for him to introduce him to new things. I am very grateful for the care she provided."
