I have 6 years of experience in a formal childcare setting. I have experience working with multiple age groups ranging from six weeks old to 11 years old. I worked as a Teaching Assistant in a nursery, two-year-old program, and preschool program. Before that, I loved to help family and friends with their babysitting needs. Ever since I was 12 years old I have been a reliable babysitter for most of the parents in my life. I currently work as an infant teacher where I care for up to eight babies with another helper. I am CPR/First aid certified and have completed multiple child safety trainings on the Oregon Registry Online. I recently graduated from Portland State University with a major in psychology and minor in child/family studies. I have really enjoyed my time working in the classroom and meeting new families. I hope to continue working with children and Read more families in a therapeutic setting after pursuing my masters.
