Meet Yvette

Hello! My name is Yvette and I have a lifetime of experience and a love of children, youth, people of all ages, pets, and life! My experience started as a pre-teen; however, it officially started when I met my husband in 1985 and I started caring for 'his' two young children, ages 6 and 8. We married three years later and I raised our children, who now have their own families. Ever since they have grown, I have gone through Nanny school (2003) with practicums with families in the Portland, Oregon area; received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology (2010); have had two full-time Nanny positions, one live-out with 4 children--the youngest was 18 months old with severe autism (2004-2006), and the other was a live-in with 1 child and caring for a man who was wheelchair bound (2007-2009); and I will be receiving my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy Read more Degree with a Graduate Certificate in Psychology in Play Therapy in June 2018. I became a caregiver because I genuinely love people of all ages and pets! I have been this way ever since I was quite young. I love my job because it not only gives me a chance to be young again with the younger children; it also gives me a chance to help others (such as adults needing help). I love to play and be an adult at the same time! What makes me good at my job is that I can relate to pretty much anyone from any walk of life--rich to poor, any race or culture, any age, any gender or sexual identity, any size, and any religion. I do not judge anyone by their looks or anything else. I get to know a person from the inside out. I look forward to meeting and working with you soon!
