For three years I have worked for several families including ones with special needs. The kids I've watched ranged from 1-10 years old and for most of these families I cleaned house, did laundry, and cooked meals as well. I am passionate about teaching kids to use their time creatively and to have fun in the process! I would say my strengths are listening, being fully engaged while on the job, and also keeping up good productivity. To get more personal, I am married and have my own small business in NW Portland as a florist, graphic designer, and stylist (www.tribesnpines.com). Mainly working with brides, my busiest season is in the summer months so I am less available from May-August. My husband and I are involved in our church and so we've had great opportunities to serve in other nations like Asia, teaching kids art, English, computer classes, and more! Read more I would love to meet with you and answer any questions you may have about my experience! Warmly, Vanessa Schmidt
