Find an after school nanny in Hubbard, OR

I love kids! I worked for 20 years as an occupational therapist, about 10 years working with kids birth through age 5 who had developmental delays and/or sensory issues, fine and gross motor delays. We worked as a team and OT/PT/speech, and early childhood teachers/specialists coached each other in the basics. For about eight years, I also worked with kids ages 6 to 16 years of age. I trained in child/human development & did child care for about 10 years (a few months to 13 years). I enjoy creating a safe, fun, nurturing environment and engaging children through language, reading, walks, age-appropriate play, physical & tabletop play, art, helping with cooking/baking. I am very responsible and dependable, flexible, easy-going, loving, attentive and fun! For the last year, I’ve been working as a caregiver for two adults and loving it; I’d love transitioning to caring for children. Generally, I am available during the day, M-F and evenings & Saturdays by appointment. Pet care is negotiable/reasonable. References are available upon request. I hope to hear from you soon! Kirsten

Hi! I’m a student at Lewis & Clark college majoring in studio arts. I have experience taking care of my sister and brother’s kids and I also babysat for a family my senior year of high school.

Hi family members! If you are looking for a nurturing and patient caretaker for your kid, your elderly parent, or even for your fur baby- I’m your gal! With 7+ years of experience in being a nanny for a wonderful family with three boys, it’s safe to say I’m a seasoned nanny. We played nerf wars, football, gave them pointers in basketball, played madden, cooked for them, went to sport games with them- we truly had a blast! I do miss being around kids, which is why I am looking to care for a special little soul(s) out there! Side gigs I do from time to time is dog walk/sit for friends and I LOVE spending time with elderly humans, their wisdom, quirks, and particularity in things— all warms my heart.

I love all forms of art, I have spent a lot of time drawing, painting, wire wrapping, playing guitar, reading and aerial silks. I grew up in Northern California, and just recently moved to Portland. I love spending time with children, and I very strongly believe in positive reinforcement, helping children to find their passions and artistic expression, as well as attachment based child care, I believe that infants and young children need someone who is emotionally available and attentive to their individual needs.

I have 5+ years of care experience prioritizing the comfort and safety of everyone I encounter—human or otherwise.. I understand that each individual has unique needs and personalities, and l can adapt to give people the care they deserve. I am confident in my ability to give top quality care. Some of my experience includes: - transportation reliability - 5+ years of experience in animal care (pet sitting + volunteer work) - 3+ years child care - 6+ months senior care - disablity training - behavioral needs training I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate to the needs of clients. I am happy to be there when you need me to be.
