A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Kiara! I am a nursing student at OHSU who absolutely loves working with kids. Nannying was my first job when I was 12 years old. Currently, I am on summer break until late September. If you are a family that needs a part-time nanny or someone to babysit several times a week then I am your perfect match!

My family and friends call me a busybody because I love to engage in many hobbies and organizations to uplift my community. A few months ago, I was elected as the Oregon Student Nursing Association president, overseeing all the Oregon nursing program associations. I also work as a liaison (All-Hill representative) between OHSU's nursing program and the University to discuss pressing matters in the nursing, dental, and medical programs and vote on funding to change these issues. A few of my hobbies are cooking, baking, hiking, going to the gym, singing, and studying artwork, and I am trying to learn how to play the piano right now!

I worked as a nanny for three years for a family in Las Vegas, Nevada, from [phone number hidden], have done babysitting for multiple families in Las Vegas, Hillsboro, and Tigard. In 2019 I was a PT intern for St.Vincent Providence Children's Development Institute, working closely with nurse practitioners, dietitians, occupational therapists, and physical therapists to help children with various conditions.

I love engaging children in developmental games, reading books together, doing different outdoor activities, and preparing easy meals that help familiarize them with different food textures, colors, and palettes.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To ensure a child is safe and has all of their needs met. As a nanny, building a trusting positive relationship with the child you're looking after is vital so they feel safe until their parents come home.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The first time I saw my kid walk was one of my proudest nannying moments. He would also give "superpower" hugs to everyone because he believed they could heal anyone and fix their day.
