Former special Education teacher turned property manager and foster parent seeks reconnection with fun families while making a little extra money! I'm flexible, reinforcement based, a believer in imagination, and play. I support your family values and needs. I grew up starting my own babysitters club and made my way through all education as a nanny. I developed a career in Special Education before a career change led me to a different direction. I've enjoyed helping raise my nieces and you'll often find me spending my spare time by their side. I love to bake and cook, walk my dog, read, do arts and crafts, enjoy all sorts of seasonal activities in Portland, and travel.
