I’m from the East Coast and moved to Portland two years ago and live outside Ladds Edition. I’m an experienced nanny and went to school at Western Kentucky University for special education. I am also an experienced petsitter and was a veterinary technician for five years I absolutely love spending time with kids and watching them grow. I refuse to lose my child like wonder. I am fulfilled when I see that I have had an impact on a child’s life. I grew up in a dysfunctional family.

I love art, crafts, playing outside and being active with the kids! Painting, Gardening, Animals and anything outside

Hi! My name is Rachelle and I have been working with children for quite a few years now and it is my passion! I've worked in infant toddler development centers, taught preschool, been a nanny several times and have had children of my own! I've taken several child development classes and been to several trainings and continue to educate myself in child development. I'm especially interested in the Reggio approach.

17 years of safe, engaging, skill building fun facilitation; supplemented with homework help, tutoring, and academic support... While attending university, I began facilitating recreation therapy respite for families adjusted by developmental differences. I also continued with the YMCA, YWCA and local youth bureau; all while also living and serving with the local volunteer fire department. Upon graduation I accepted a couple roles as Program Director, but soon realized that front line work was my truest passion. Since my work as a Family Advocate, Wilderness Therapy Guide, Kids Ski Instructor, "Manny" (Nanny), Firefighter, Alpine Manager, Mountain Bike Coach, Lifeguard, and Summer Camp Director for multiple camps, I have gained and honed a diverse skill set. My experience provides families with a compassionate, professional, fun loving, supportive, flexible, and nurturing care giver. Whether you need a one time “babysitter” or a commitment over an extended period of time, I feel confident that I can provide the stimulating and/or structured environment, balanced and tailored for your little people to thrive. Philosophically, I believe in and promote autonomy and democracy; encouraging choice, individuality, compromise, and teamwork. Ex: I do not believe in asking one to apologize, but rather explaining to them the relational benefits of such actions, and providing them the opportunity. Currently, I spend a lot of time in the mountains, tackling personal objectives; so though my location may be elsewhere, I may be looking to work in an area close to your childcare needs.

Hi! I love working with children because every day with them is a unique adventure, it’s always exciting, rewarding, and full of new opportunities to learn and grow together. As the oldest grandchild in my family, I naturally grew up caring for my younger cousins, from changing diapers and preparing meals to helping with homework and daily routines. Along with over 4 years of childcare experience, I’ve worked at an under-five clinic, where I assisted with basic infant health checkups and provided nutritional guidance to parents. I also helped run my church’s summer daycare program in 2023, creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for children. I’m CPR and First Aid trained and committed to providing dependable, attentive care. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and I’m happy to help with meal preparation, homework, transportation, light housekeeping, and maintaining daily routines. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and free to have fun while giving parents peace of mind.

Hello families! My name is Vitoria, and I bring both professional experience in early childhood care and a genuine love for nurturing little ones. I currently work as a childcare provider at a daycare, where I care for toddlers around 3–30 months old, helping them grow, explore, and thrive in a safe and joyful environment. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I love creating engaging activities, from music and playtime to reading and gentle routines that build comfort and trust. My goal is always to provide a sense of stability, safety, and joy, so that children feel cared for and parents feel at ease. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, and sharing stories and songs with little ones. I also speak Portuguese and English fluently, and I’m currently learning French, which can bring an extra fun, multicultural touch to care. I would be honored to support your family with childcare that combines responsibility, warmth, and genuine dedication.
