Find experienced nannies in Sandy, OR

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! If you're wondering how I would describe me as a person, I would say that I am a very positive, creative, patient, cheerful, and loving person and I have helped take care of children basically my entire life! For the past 4.5 years I have been nannying professionally for children of all ages. I have had two long term families that I have nannied for as well as a bunch of short term families as well. My typical age range has been infants to about 8 years old. The reason I love my job is that I really enjoy helping give all children that I care for a great childhood. I prefer to be more involved, so limiting screen time and taking time to teach new skills is very important to me. I personally always encourage being active and outdoorsy and doing stimulating projects like art, and participating in numerous different activities to spark the kids imagination. Helping to ensure that they are getting educated, growing, learning, and becoming responsible and independent is my top priority. I hope to hear back from you soon!
