❗️ After a short hiatus my books are now open FCFC. ‼️ ALTERNATE RATES FOR PART-TIME ASSISTANCE. STARTING RATE NEGOTIABLE. Hi, I’m Autumn (or Auti for short). Recently migrated from the DMV, but raised in Southern California. I’m an ambivert who brings a blend of West Coast energy and East Coast resilience to caregiving. My personal hobbies —painting, dancing, and music—are often woven into how I engage with the children in my care, and how I assess their own likes and interests. My true passion is helping others. This passion led me to study Criminal Justice in Baltimore and motivated my work in and around the city. Now that I’ve relocated to the Oregon I continue on with my vision to build a "bridge of hope" so that every child feels secure about their tomorrow. About My Caregiving: With over 9 years of experience as a babysitter, nanny, and governess Read more (plus years volunteering with military families), I am confident in my versatility aiding in cognitive development. I use various learning techniques tailored to the fact that no two days —and no two children— are alike. For parents of preteens and teens: I understand the delicate balance between the desire for independence and the need for guidance. Having recently navigated those years myself, I offer relatable, compassionate support. ⚠️Note: For STEM/SAT-specific tutoring, I recommend hiring a specialized professional. I am an ambitious, reliable, and compassionate individual dedicated to making a positive impact on your family. I look forward to meeting you! Quick Facts: Availability: Full-time, Part-time, evenings, and date nights. Safety: CPR Certified & First aid certified. Credentials: Valid driver’s license with reliable means of transportation; references available upon request. Professionalism: I provide a "competency document" for review to ensure we establish clear boundaries and standards before I enter your home. First-Timers: If this is your first time hiring a nanny or sitter, please let me know so I can help guide you through the process! *especially if you’re considering nanny shares*

Autumn is a great sitter. She took care and played with our 19 month old son really well. We would definitely hire her again for sitting.
