Hello! I am an experienced caregiver who has participated in childcare for over 22 years as a nanny, babysitter, and in center based environments. I have experience with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged kiddos; I have cared for children up to age 16. I have done numerous overnights for families, so I have experience with that! I put emphasis on learning through play, and, being a nature lover, try to find ways to incorporate nature in our activities. When with your child, we can sing, read, dance, do art projects, listen to music, go for walks, and take field trips to farms, the museum, playgrounds, and other fun places. I have taken child development classes, so I am pretty aware of where kids are developmentally. Respecting others is important to me, so I try to find teachable moments to convey this. I am first aid/CPR certified. I have reliable transportation, and consider myself to be very reliable as well. I am looking to work in Portland, or within 25 miles of it. I am also fully vaccinated and boosted.

I have been babysitting since 2014 and nannying since 2018. I have also been subbing for the past three years and I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in elementary education. I am a travel nanny in the summer for a family based out of NYC and during the school year I am teaching currently. Summer of 2021, I was a part-time nanny for a 14 month old girl where I had many responsibilities including putting her down for her nap, feeding her, and entertaining her for the duration of our day. I have learned a lot about working with babies and toddlers on things like motor skills, developmental milestones, and emotional understanding. For older children, I have learned many strategies pertaining to supplemental learning inside and outside of the classroom. I love going on adventures and making the best out of any situations, so rain or shine I can guarantee we will have a lot of fun!
