More About Me

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

my work as a Teacher Assistant at the International School of Portland during their summer camp program (caring for children ages 3 to 5), alongside my certification in Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

outdoor explorations like nature walks and park play, interactive storytelling, creative arts and crafts, and engaging games that encourage movement, teamwork, and active learning.

The most important part about being a nanny...

is building a safe, trusting environment where children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to explore the world around them.

Sara C. - Seeking Work in Portland

Live-In Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Sara C.

Working with children has always been my passion, and I truly love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can learn, grow, and feel confident. I have extensive childcare experience as a teacher and a childcare director, giving me hands-on experience with children of different ages and developmental stages. I’ve cared for children, planned engaging activities, supported their routines and learning, communicated with families, and handled the many responsibilities that come with providing quality care.

As a nanny, I bring patience, dependability, creativity, and a genuine love for what I do. I believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and encouraged, and I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and caring part of your family.

Kiara S. - Seeking Work in Portland

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Kiara S.

Hello!
My name is Kiara and I have over 7 years of experience in the nanny and childcare space. I have worked with children ranging from 2 weeks to 12 years old but specialize with those 7 and under. I have worked with medically fragile and those with disabilities which is also a specialty kind of care I can provide. I am BLS certified (A step above CPR, intended for healthcare professionals). I am actually a nurse by trade, but in a transitional period in my life and career as I take a step back to cure some burnout and care for an ill family member and would love to invite part time work as a nanny once more (I did it from high school and up through nursing school). I am confident in my ability to care for your children, engage with them, and make our time together a blast while also enriching their age appropriate development in fun and exciting ways.

Fun facts: I am a dancer (Latin ballroom, jazz, and hip hop!!), bookworm, love being out in the sun, and am the queen of crafts :)
