A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Darla and I am originally from the east coast, but have been living in Oregon for the last 4 years.
I have a vast background of working in childcare and find it so exciting to connect with children where they're at and encourage them to be themselves, channel their inner creativity, and laugh till it hurts!
When I'm not nannying your kiddo(s), I am usually at home with my partner and cat, checking out local coffee shops, and photographing weddings!
I hope to have the chance to chat more soon!

Alexandria Y. - Seeking Work in Portland

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Alexandria Y.

Hi! My name is Alexandria. I’m 20 years old and someone who naturally brings a lot of energy, patience, and care into everything I do. I love being around kids and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where they feel comfortable and supported.

I am currently in college working on my prerequisites, however my schedule is pretty open so I am looking for some way to keep myself busy!

I’m very organized and attentive, so I’m good at keeping routines on track, helping with daily tasks, and staying on top of things without being asked.

I’m responsible, reliable, and take my role seriously, especially when it comes to a child’s safety and well-being. I also understand how important it is to communicate well with parents and respect your home, your rules, and your parenting style.

I’d love the opportunity to be someone your family can depend on and to bring a positive, caring presence into your home. Thank you for considering me!

Sincerely,
Alexandria
Claire V. - Seeking Work in Portland

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Claire V.

Hi, I’m Claire 🤍 I provide small-group care (1–2 children) for infants and young toddlers in my Tigard home (97223).

I keep my space intentionally calm and low-ratio so each child receives truly attentive, relationship-based care. My approach focuses on connection, emotional development, and creating a secure, predictable rhythm to the day. Children are supported in building confidence, regulation, and trust through consistent presence and gentle guidance.

Our days include outdoor time, simple play, and age-appropriate routines, all within a peaceful home environment. I prioritize clear communication with parents and provide regular updates so you feel connected and at ease.
Emerald D. - Seeking Work in Portland

Full-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Emerald D.

Hello, I’m Emerald, I’ve worked with kids since my early teens, and have years of experience with kids of all ages in single families, nanny-shares, and daycare facilities.
I studied child development in college and love to put my skills to use caring for children from infants to school-age. I believe it takes a village to raise happy, healthy kids and it’s so beneficial for them to have multiple trusted adults in their life that they can trust and look up to. I currently specialize in infants/toddlers but love every stage of development! Read-aloud/creative imagination games are my forte, and I love to encourage emotional regulation and healthy development through age-appropriate activities. I’m well-versed in weaning/potty-training, as well as all the other fun milestones. I enjoy exploring the world with kids (visiting the library, zoo, etc) to encourage self-confidence/confidence in their community. I am pet-friendly/have no pet or food allergies. I am CPR/first aid certified.

I have been a nanny for nearly 14 years and have a background in early childhood education. I embrace supporting your child's own curiosity and creativity to learn, and emphasize communicating their needs and autonomy in a constructive manner as well as respecting the needs and autonomy of those around them. Whether you're a family or two or ten my goal is to integrate seamlessly into your own parenting plan for your kiddos; I am very open minded to new and familiar parenting styles but am also more than willing to offer advice when asked. I have experience with many different family dynamics and with all ages from newborn to preteen.
