Hello, My name is Mehiska Jackson and I have been caring as a nanny/babysitter for the past 10 + years working with infants, children, youth, and adults. My CPR/first aid and food handlers card still valid. My experience as a nanny has shown me that there are a number of essential aspects, such as developing a sense of trust and respect, consistently promoting the child's development and well being, and forming a bond. The qualities that I like to instill in children and what children love about me include my creativity, sense of humor, patience and understanding, and my ability to understand the child at their appropriate age level. Children are the reason I love nannying and why I’m currently a nanny. The top three reasons why I am a great fit for your family are 1) understanding and patience, 2) reliability, and 3) energy and enthusiasm. I’m constantly learning Read more new ways to help boost children’s development and complete their milestones and by doing so, I am currently enrolled in a online Masters of Social Work program at Portland State University. If you believe I’m a great fit for your family, then please call me (458) 205-4906. Thank you, Mehiska Jackson
