A little bit about me

Hello! My name is McKinley and I am a passionate and creative teacher and Nanny! I had the pleasure of being the lead teacher for a play-based preschool program at The Children's Gym for 3 years. I have a background in early childhood education, Montessori, and arts education for elementary and middle school-aged kiddos. In addition to teaching, I have been a trusted nanny and child sitter for 4 years in Portland OR. I practice positive behavior support and utilize a calm and empathetic approach with all of the children I work with.

I am happy to provide references from past employers and families I have worked with.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I was working with an awesome kiddo who felt afraid of the bath tub. One day we pretended to be fish swimming around the house. He told me that since fish swim in the water he would be willing to try out the bathtub. I love any time a child feels brave enough to conquer their fears!

Nurturing young minds is my passion, and most of my adulthood I have been providing enriching childcare experiences by working closely with families as their nanny.

I'm comfortable caring for up to two children of varying ages, from infants to pre-teens.

I believe in creating a safe and stimulating environment through activities like board games, puzzles, and educational games. I am patient, friendly, and comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, crafts, and swimming supervision. I communicate with parents at pickup and follow your preferred method. Seeing children thrive brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones.

Part-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Stephanie R.

Hi! My name is Stephanie, and I am a graduate student studying natural medicine here in Portland. I recently graduated from UCLA this past June with a degree in Psychobiology, and I am eager to start nannying/assisting families in my free-time. I am fully vaccinated as well! I love working with children of all ages, as I find an opportunity for education in every moment and am aware of the patience and discipline that is required. My favorite job I've ever had was when I worked at an educational summer camp, supervising kids ages 4-12 but personally specializing in the independent aftercare of large groups of 4-6 year olds. Some facts about me: I love to clean, I am experienced in the kitchen, and I am a confident driver. I look forward to hearing from any families who are interested in getting to know me!
