Hi! I’m Megan and I love working with kids! I’ve worked as a camp counselor/teacher with Adventures in Writing for four years, a Lead Teacher with the YMCA for two, and a lead teacher for Innovation Learning for two years. I moved from Ashland, where I was a toddler teacher for two years. After moving from Ashland I became a Lead a Toddler Teacher at an in home daycare for over a year before getting the opportunity to become a Toddler Guide at a Montessori School.

Hi! I'm a 25 year old artist, student, and experienced child care provider. I have spent 10+ years working with families as their sitter/nanny, in overnight camps, in day camps, and with after school programs. Working with kids and giving the next generation a sturdy, supportive foundation is one of my passions and greatest joys. Families looking for a nanny or sitter who have LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent members will have priority with me because I have lived experience in these areas and can empathetically relate. I know it can be hard for these families to find child care providers, and all kids deserve excellent caretakers. I also identify as nonbinary and have ADHD & ASD (think Amelia Bedelia-- she was a hard worker but just needed clear communication)! I prefer meeting families and doing a working interview before agreeing to any long-term arrangement! Thank you for your time, and I hope you're having a great day.

Hello!! My name is Rostana, I recently graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Public Health and I will be going to nursing school at Linfield doing their Masters in nursing program upcoming term. I am hoping to become a pediatric nurse down the road. Caring for kids has always been close to my heart, and my career goals really reflect that. I’m CPR certified, I currently work in a hospital as a CNA where I’ve been for almost five years. Those experiences have taught me responsibility, patience, and how to handle emergencies with a calm head. Outside of school and work, I’ve been babysitting for about eight years. I regularly care for my younger brothers and often babysit for family and friends, so I’m comfortable with kids of all ages. A lot of my experience has also been from the Portland babysitting group in facebook(can provide references to parents from there if needed) I love creating a safe and fun environment where children feel cared for and parents feel confident leaving them in good hands. I also speak 5 languages (Burmese,Hindi,Korean,Malay, English) *looking for one time or occasional roles only Please feel free to message me if you’d like to connect 🤗

I am currently working as a mental health therapist for adults, and am available for childcare on evenings and weekends. I have the most experience with infants through early elementary school age. What I most enjoy about spending time with children is how they bring me to engagement with the present moment, and witnessing how their curious, eager minds develop and interact with the world. I love spending time outside whenever possible, and enjoy indoor activities such as reading books, crafting, or playing with Legos. I have 15 years of paid experience working with children including working as a nanny and a Paraeducator in public schools. Because of my varied positions, I am skilled in a crisis, can help children navigate emotional challenges, and offer a sense of safety while encouraging playful expression.
