A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Abby. I've been a full-time teacher in preschool and infant/toddler classrooms for the last seven years. This included three years as a lead teacher writing and implementing developmentally appropriate learning activities. I have also worked as an assistant teacher and a direct support professional for children with specific needs.

I'm currently finishing my Bachelor's in Child, Youth, & Family Studies. I am a Step 10 within the Oregon Registry -- meaning I have a combination of college credit and community-based training that is equivalent to a Bachelor's degree. I have a current First Aid/CPR certification as well as Safe Sleep for infants and a Food Handler's card.

I believe in positive guidance for all ages. I follow the principles of RIE, providing respectful and intentional care to infants and toddlers. For preschoolers, I believe in play-based learning with a focus on child-led investigative learning. I enjoy exploring the outdoors with all children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I believe that outdoor exploration and extended free play is important for all children. I enjoy going on walks, visiting parks, and exploring community activities.

When planning learning activities for children I strive to create open-ended experiences that help children find a love for math, literacy, and science. I love creating life-long learners who will speak up for what they want.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being able to meet your child where they're at. All children need relationships with adults that are able to give them developmentally appropriate support.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked as a direct support in family homes. In this role I provided behavior support, transportation, and strong relationship-based care to children between the ages of 7 and 16. My experience was primarily with children on the autism spectrum or with intellectual delays.

I have also support for students with specific needs in my work as a teacher, adapting the classroom to meet their needs and working with them to build the skills they need in order to succeed.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments are always the ones where I feel I can see true growth in the children I care for. Watching children master a new skill, unlock an interest, or become more confident in their spaces is so rewarding!

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Milwaukie, OR: Sonja S.

Hello,
I am a retired Flight Attendant of 30 years. I retired early, I was ready to be at home more. As a Flight Attendant I worked with many families helping them with their children and unaccompanied minors. I would pack extra coloring books, wings and activities to help entertain the kiddos.
Prior to my work as a Flight Attendant I have years of Camp Counselor experience day camps and overnight camps. Leading hikes, fire building, songs, arts and crafts, outdoor games, monitored swimming (at the time I was lifeguard certified) I truly enjoy working with kids both young and old. I myself raised four children.
I also have a copy of my latest background check.
That’s a little bit about me and what I could offer your family.

I am not certified but I am currently in the process of going to college to be a Pediatric Nurse and get my certification as well for CPR. I have always had a soft spot for infants and children since I was 8 years old.

I have 3 years of housekeeping experience so I am willing to clean your house a bit as well if that is something you would need help with:) I am a person with a lot of patience and gentle care. I am respectful of all parents and their dos and donts of taking care of their little ones! Being a nanny brings me so much joy and if you need me to provide cleaning service to relieve some stress I am more than willing! *I put 5 years experience for total of off and on infant care:)*
