A little bit about me

I've been a early childhood teacher and preschool owner for the last 35 years. I've raised three children and have five grandchildren and now consider myself a granny nanny! I love children and would like to be a loving part of your family. I also have wonderful nanny references.

I just came back from Guatemala where I helped start a school and lived there for 5 years.
I'm happy to be back to my hometown of Portland and hope I can help you as you navigate the landscape of hiring a new nanny. I understand this is a very important decision for your family.
I'm an infant specialist as well with special training and I have RIE experience.
I'm an artist and an animal lover. I am an advocate for human dignity.

Mack M. - Seeking Work in Portland

Part-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Mack M.

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!
Paula B. - Seeking Work in Portland

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Paula B.

¡Hola!
I'm Paula, originally from the picturesque island of Mallorca in Spain, I bring with me a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for caring for children.

At 27, I've embarked on a new chapter in Portland alongside my partner, who recently secured a job opportunity here. While I finalize paperwork to transition my career as a certified teacher in the U.S., I'm excited to dedicate my time to what truly brings me joy: enriching the lives of children and making meaningful connections along the way.

With a diverse background in childcare, including babysitting, tutoring, and being an au pair, I've had the privilege of nurturing children aged 1 to 14. My educational background allows me to not only care for your children but also to engage them in language development and academic growth.

I'm eager to extend my services to your family and embark on this journey together, nurturing bright futures and creating cherished memories.

¡Hasta pronto!
