A little bit about me

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.

Part-Time Nanny Available in Portland, OR: Karly D.

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.
