A little bit about me…Hi families! I'm a 36 year old career nanny with almost a decade of experience with young children in various settings, and 5 years of nannying experience with infants and toddlers, primarily with multiples in a share or as siblings.
Since my current nanny child just moved on to preschool at the end of January, I'm looking for a new family to support and love!
I feel free and uninhibited around young children, which helps me understand and truly enjoy their play, while also reminding me of how important it is to model what it means to be a full, responsible, respectful, and confident person.
My 5 year old daughter, Niamh, comes with me half the month (2 consecutive weeks on/off.) She's come along with me at all of my positions since she was born, and having a playmate has been wonderful every time!
Take a look at my experience and childcare philosophy, and let me know if you think I'm be a good fit for your family!

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were…At my most current position I cared for a sweet 2 year old. We went on daily morning outings to parks, play spaces, and other out of the house places. I have a family membership to OMSI and a few other spaces which I use regularly with both my nanny families and my own.
Prior to that I worked with wonderful twin 2 year olds, and have extensive experience with multiples and various age groups, both in classroom and home settings.
I am a certified Montessori preschool and toddler teacher, and am trained in the RIE philosophy for infants.
I have extensive experience caring for and teaching mixed age groups from birth to 6 years, and privately tutoring children ages 6-18 years.

I have extensive experience caring for and teaching mixed age groups from birth to 6 years, and privately tutoring children ages 6-18 years.
Activities I enjoy doing with children…I believe in a very child centered method of care, including either daily outings or projects and a general Montessori and Reggio influenced curriculum with lessons for older children, and a RIE centered philosophy for infants.
This allows me to observe the interests and needs of each child and tailor my care to fit them.
In connection with this, I always try to practice positive correction and redirection, and prefer to allow children to experience natural consequences, when safe.
In addition, since I'm both a musician and an artist, art and music feature heavily in my care, as well as creative scientific exploration of all kinds.

The most important part about being a nanny…I believe that the most important lessons young children learn are those involving emotional recognition and processing abilities, behavioral and social regulation and skills, and above all, empathy and care for all living things.
I work on making sure they have a strong feeling of safety and support from all caregivers to allow them to learn these vital skills in a safe environment.

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Autumn M.
Hi! My name is Autumn and I am 19 years old. I am in college and I’m taking classes at PCC to work towards my nursing degree. I also graduated cosmetology school this last summer. I am in all star cheer leading, I have been in sports since I was 4 years old. I love kids and animals! I recently was a co teacher at a preschool and a nanny but that ended because of Covid. I have a one year old nephew and a nephew that is now 7 and I have been with them since the day they were born and I always loved babysitting and caring for them. I have babysat kids ages 1-13 for many years now for as long as overnight and I have taken care of their daily needs such as changing diapers and clothes, feeding, bathing, sleeping schedules, going on walks, fun activities and play time. I have my own car and I live in the Bethany area right across from Bethany Village. I have used the Care.com app for awhile now but so many people use that app so I am looking at other websites too!
