Coralee A. Nanny in Portland, OR 97202.

I was born and raised in SE Portland, which has definitely shaped who I am and how I view the world. I love taking walks, hikes in the forest, playing in our beautiful parks, and spending time in the yard or on the porch. I read books, do arts and crafts, help solve puzzles, play games, make forts and help with homework. I'm great at preparing delicious and nutritious meals. I believe that food is our medicine. I've grown up with dogs small and large (100 lb boxer) , cats, rats, lizards, snakes, fish, and a parrot named Lulu, so pets are always a plus for me!
I've worked with children my entire life as a swim instructor, camp counselor for Outdoor School, babysitter, nanny, and as a volunteer English teacher in India. I adore working with kids, they are my greatest teachers.
In 2010 I worked nannying for a 6-13 month old little boy, worked for a family of 3 boys ages 18 months to 7 and for a family with 2 girls ages 1 and 3. I then spent many years traveling in India, SE Asia, Mexico and Guatemala and NW America. During that time I volunteered on organic farms, was certified as a yoga instructor, took a permaculture design course, and apprenticed with Herbalist Susun Weed. In 2016 I worked as a nanny with an infant 3 days a week and worked at an aftercare program for a preschool 2 days a week.

I am hoping to work 20-30 hours weekly in total. I am open also for weekend or occasional "date night" gigs. I will be enrolled in a 9 month herbalist course with Elderberry starting February. We will meet Thursdays at 6 pm and Saturday mornings

For ethical reasons I do not own or drive a car. I have had awesome success nannying in Portland and using the public transportation system to go to the zoo, forest park, OMSI, Mt Tabor, and after school pick up.

I have been first aid/CPR certified many times but it has been years now. If the job requires I am happy to be re-certified.
