Hi there, my name is Lhamo, and I am a nanny with over 25 years of experience caring for children, especially infants and toddlers, with many references available. I currently live in the Woodstock neighborhood, in Portland, OR, and I've raised three kids on my own (ages 25 at NYU Grad School, 19 at the U.S. Naval Academy, and 15 years old at an immersion high school), all of whom I also used to take to work with me, and this ultimately has developed them into the mature and intelligent individuals they are today, teaching all of us important lessons. Over the years, I've worked with over 10 families with a wide variety of different ages, though I'm especially experienced in working with toddlers and infants. When working with kids, I love taking them outside to the park and staying active, providing fun activities for them. Though, my specialty is Read more now more focused in the cognitive development and education of young children, ranging from developing social skills to language learning of languages such as Mandarin Chinese, which I went to university for along with economics. Furthermore, in addition to working with kids, I am able to help with light cleaning, folding laundry. On top of loving to nurture the growth of young children that I work with, and fostering close relationships with the kids, I’ve also found an interest in assisting young and coming parents with learning the necessary parenting skills, helping them by sharing my experiences, creating a more effective and close team between us. All of this has been the most enjoyable part of my journey so far and why I continue doing what I do as a caretaker.

Lhamo has provided babysitting/nannying services to my family over many years now, from the time my younger child was a toddler. My kids really enjoy Llamo and Llamo's kids, who are the most charming and well-behaved children around.... a real testament to Llamo's skills in developing young minds. Llamo's years of experience mean she can easily manage the tasks of baby-care and more, in a drama-free, stress-free manner. I also highly value the Mandarin exposure she has provided to my children. I have nothing but good things to say.

Lhamo is a caring and fun playmate. With our 1-3 year old, she got him active daily, fed him very well, and got him down to nap. They played and laughed together constantly, and she encouraged creative thinking and playing daily. As a parent with anxiety, I am never worried about his safety or well-being when Lhamo is around. Additionally, she is punctual and committed. We thank her and feel we've been blessed to have her as part of our family. She is better than "5 stars, Great". I think she is undoubtedly the best caregiver a family with young children could hope for.

Our family has known Lhamo for over 7 years. She has nannied our children from infants into big kid stage. They adore her and her family, and she continues to babysit for us when needed as she is a beloved person in our sons’ lives. In every manner conceivable Lhamo is an exceptional nanny. She is on time, hard working and was very nurturing to young children, from infancy to toddlerhood. As our nanny she was committed to the safety of our boys, a cautious and conscientious care taker we always felt our children were given meticulous care and attention. She is very capable of educating children and for those who want to expose their kids to Mandarin or Tibetan language, a willing teacher. When needed she provided wonderful meals, kept our home clean and tidy and prioritized the total well-being of our family well above her own. She is one of the most kind people we have ever met. Her presence brought a calm and tranquility into our rather chaotic environment. Our children found in her a great model for themselves and her peaceful loving nature influenced them beyond what can be expressed in words. We love Lhamo and couldn’t be more lucky to have her in our lives.
