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

Howdy! I'm Alexx the loving experienced sitter and preschool teacher! I’m currently a full-time preschool teacher in the toddler room entering my second year, and I’m also pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Child Development. Caring for children is more than just a job to me, it’s part of my family legacy. Both my mother and grandmother were preschool teachers, and I’m proud to continue in their footsteps. On the topic of family I come from a big one! I have babysat all 17 of my younger cousins, nieces and nephew's over the years so I’m very comfortable juggling multiple kiddos and meeting each child’s unique needs. I’m CPR certified (infant/child and adult), and while I don’t own a car, I do have a valid driver’s license and am happy to drive if needed. Pets are no problem I’m a big animal lover! I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats. Before teaching, I was a certified housekeeper for two years, so you can count on me to keep things clean, organized, and toys put away.

I am trustworthy and can ensure that your child will be always in a safe environment, and treated as I would my very own, if I had any children. I enjoy learning kids many different personlities and interest, and I am always open to new adventures or unique styles of play and fun. I love to laugh, really laugh and will do whatever it takes to get the kid to smile and have the best time they deserve and should as often as possible. They are our future and have so many great talents that should be given the chance to show as much as they or willing to express themselves.  Yolanda
