Hi there! I’m Erin, a 35-year-old with a passion for working with children. I’m currently seeking part-time opportunities but am open to full-time work as well. Over the years, I’ve worn a few hats, from nannying to teaching outdoors at Whole Child Montessori School in Portland, and even working as a rock climbing instructor. With a background in English from the University of Missouri - Columbia, I also bring a love for learning and creativity to everything I do. In my free time, you can usually find me climbing, running, or exploring the outdoors on hikes. Adventure and activity are a big part of my life, and I love bringing that spirit to my work with children. My approach is all about empowering kids to make safe, informed decisions while offering plenty of positive reinforcement and compassion. I always make sure to keep things light with a sense of humor and embrace their unique personalities—there’s nothing quite like seeing kids shine in their own goofy ways! With over ten years of experience caring for infants through to older kids, I’m well-equipped for the energy and excitement that comes with the job. Coming from a big family myself, I know how to keep up with the lively atmosphere that kids bring. I especially enjoy encouraging imaginative play, getting outside for adventures, and diving into a good story together. I’m fully vaccinated and boosted, and I’d love the chance to connect with you and your family! Warmly, Erin

Hi there! My name is Zaria and I’m a childcare professional with over eight years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. My background includes working as a professional babysitter, full-time nanny, and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), giving me the skills to support children of all ages and a wide range of personalities and learning styles. I’ve had the joy of caring for children in home and classroom settings, including those with special needs. My time as an RBT gave me valuable experience supporting children with developmental, behavioral, and sensory differences, and it taught me how to create a calm, safe, and positive environment for every child. I approach each day with patience, empathy, and creativity, meeting kids where they are and helping them thrive in their own unique ways. I believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported, and I work intentionally to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment. My caregiving philosophy centers on intentional and mindful interactions that help to build trust through empathy, active listening, and positive reinforcement. I believe kids do best when they feel safe, heard, and understood. I also love helping families feel confident that their children are in caring, capable hands. I’ve taken coursework in Child Development, Child Psychology, and Applied Behavior Analysis, which gives me a strong foundation in how children think, learn, and grow. When I’m not working, you can usually find me cooking, reading, writing, singing, or painting. I love bringing those hobbies into my childcare time, whether it’s through baking cookies together, singing songs, or making creative art projects. Overall, I’m passionate about helping children grow into their best selves and I look forward to partnering with families who value intentional, compassionate care.
