A little bit about me

Hey Ya'll, My name is Kesaia , but I go by Saia. Just a little bit about myself :)
I am a 23 year-old black indigenous poet, doula, care worker, artist, and activist. I am passionate about early childhood education, reproductive justice and LGBTQA+ rights.
My most previous job was working as a teacher at the Childroots Early Learning Center in SE Portland, where I was working with ages 15 months to 24 months. I have over 6 years of experience working with small to large groups of children age newborns to pre-teens. That being said I have a deep love for infant care and would love to grown with a family.
I completely enjoy every moment I spend with children I care for. Some of the activities I enjoy doing with the children are dancing, expressive play, singing, reading. I feel it is important to create space for children to be themselves and further their developmental skills through autonomy, compassion and open communication.

More About Me

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

I have been an ELC teacher for 6 years at different centers across Oregon. I will be happy to bring references and my resume to interviews! I am also a doula I have extensive knowledge on preborns and new borns!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am big on anything art, I explained a bit in my brio but my main focus is to really see what the children are interested in and create an environment where they can experience and explore their interests; as well as inspiring expressive and autonomous play. I also love sensory play that appropriate for the age of the child I’m with and lots of outside time rain or shine!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I resigned as a in center teacher due to covid and the risks of being in the classroom. The most important part of being a care worker/nanny is, communication, trust and a love for the little humans I work care for. Making sure the children know that I am there for them and you as parents know your children and yourselves will be supported while I’m working for you.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children with Autism, ADHD and Cerebral Palsy. Yet you am quite comfortable learning how to care for anyone!

The most important part about being a nanny...

My latest family really loved projects! So me and the older child I was watching would do these science projects all the time, and the best thing we made a volcano. Watching his eye light up when it exploded was priceless.
