Meet Meredith

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets

Hello Portland! My name is Meredith Lockwood. I am an experienced babysitter/nanny currently living in Portland, Oregon. I recently moved from Los Angeles where I lived and worked as a nanny for two wonderful girls who are now ages 9 and 12! During my ten years with the family, I also worked in film, tv and music. My creative skills were put to good use when teaching and guiding the girls in school projects, artistic adventures and more. I am now called "Aunt Mer Mer" by those girls and by my four little nephews. I am not only great with kids, but I also respect the boundaries and challenges of parents and caregivers. I frequently prepared dinner and prepped school lunches for the kids. I was even given a homemade award for "best cooking" by quite a particular nine year-old:) I am a college graduate of the arts and film Read more and am currently looking to pursue a masters degree in Child Psychology starting in the fall. I want to work with families to help them create happy and healthy relationships with each other and to help them navigate the challenges of their world. I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have about myself. I can confidently tell you I am honest and reliable and that I truly care about children and their well-being. Good luck with your search for a quality caregiver.. it's an important decision and I wish you all the best! -Meredith
