Find experienced child care providers in Gresham, OR

Hello! I am excited to be back here and am eager to meet you and your family. My background entails a variety of hands-on experience working with and caring for children of all ages and stages. I devoted 8 joyous years as a Special Education Paraeducator, working with children from 4 to 18 years old. Soon after starting my own family, I proceeded with turning my home into a small State Licensed Daycare and Preschool, educating and caring for children from 12 weeks to 13 years old. After 9 adventure filled years, my husband and I decided to depart from the constant sunshine and move here to the beautiful PNW, requiring me to close my Daycare and Preschool. It has been my privilege for 7 years as a Nanny, to have partnered with parents on providing the nurturing and structure needed for the development of their children. I appreciate the significance of my role as a Nanny and look forward to assisting you in the delicate process of fostering happy, healthy, well-rounded little ones.

I have been in this field of work as a child care provider for 20 years. I am currently working as a teacher assistant. I also have experience in babysitting, as I am currently babysitting for parents. As for my training, I did go to college to get my certificate to work in a classroom. I also have a current CPR and FIRST AID card.

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.

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.

Hi Families! My name is Rachel and I’m 23 years old. I am currently looking for a nanny job that is either part-time or full-time.
