More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I've been a nanny and a babysitter since I was about 12 years old. I grew up watching neighbor kids, and as I got older I took on some local babysitting and nannying jobs, as well as helping nanny for my 5 nieces and nephews throughout the last 10 years. I also briefly was a nanny for a very busy family in Lake Oswego; I did some housework for them, drove the kids to and from their various appointments, helped them with their homework, fixed them lunch and snacks, and helped set up for their dinner.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to do crafts such as yarn work and drawing/painting, as well as physical activities like hiking, playing catch or simple sports, and yoga. I'm also very fond of puzzles and board games. I've very open to trying new activities that interest the kids I'm looking after.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think its very important to make sure that kids feel heard and listened to, and that gentle words and patience are key. I also make a point of setting time aside for bad days and big emotions.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite experiences I've had was teaching some little ones how to play frisbee. At first they really struggled, either throwing the frisbee off some random way or crashing into the ground. With some time and encouragement, we figured it out and were playing catch with the best of them. I loved seeing how proud of themselves they were, and we quit when they finally got bored of it.

Hello! My name is Karly and I am looking for a job as a nanny for the summer, could be longer if needed. I come from a big family and am an aunt to 11 nieces and nephews. My experience comes from my time helping nanny multiple of my nephews. Between 2019 and 2020 and Nani full-time for my nephew. I was also a nanny between 2017 and 2019, where I was a nanny for a toddler under two years old and a 10 year-old. In that role, I helped tidy the house, and take care of the children, and always made sure to take care for the children to my best ability. When I left that role in one of the comments, my prior boss said was “ the best thing about having you here as a nanny is that you truly cared about our kids.” I come from a career in law-enforcement that has recently come to a close due to being laid off. I’m looking to getting back into becoming a nanny because I coming off a hard job and would like a job that brings me joy.

Richard S. - Seeking Work in Portland

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Richard S.

I have devoted the better part of my life towards working with kids in various capacities from ski instructing to summer camp directing to program development to tutoring. My philosophy when it comes to childcare is based around creating a safe and engaging atmosphere where kids feel they can try new things and experiences without the fear of failure. I believe in experiential learning by way of getting outside and engaging in the world around us. I don’t believe in talking down to children and in fact I try and engage with kids on a level of mutual respect and trust. I believe in positive reinforcement and giving kids a second chance when it comes to behavior problems in the sense that without the tools to understand what they could have done differently in a given situation a child may never learn to correct that behavior. I have spent time as a prep-cook and a line cook in various commercial kitchen settings. My hobbies include skiing, mtn biking, climbing, camping, and travel.
