I am a freelance photographer and am searching for a part-time position or temporary position. I am generally flexible with hours, although weekdays (M-F) are best. Depending on how many children/pay, I would like to work anywhere between 10-20 hours/week. I live in the Inner SE of Portland, Oregon (near Ladd's Addition). Over the past 13 years I have worked with a handful of families as a nanny to supplement my income. I have experience with babies, toddlers, elementary school kids and middle schoolers. Between 2015-2022, I worked as a part time nanny for two kids (who are now in HS and College) in the Laurelhurst neighborhood. I would pick them up from school, help feed them snacks, help with homework, drive to sports practices and games, and even watched them for several days when their parents took a trip to South Africa. I am still very much like an Read more auntie to them and friends to their parents. I have a fond experience living and working as an ESL teacher in Italy. I spent 2008-2011 educating kids from elementary to high school. I learned a lot about how to manage and teach kids during that time.
