Find an after school nanny in Lake Oswego, 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

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.

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. I am also conversational in French and pet friendly. Please let me know if you have any questions! I am happy to talk further.

Hi, I enjoy kids and being a positive influence on their lives. I have raised my own kids so I’m aware of all the work and responsibilities that come along with it.

I am a patient, down-to-earth, and reliable individual who values punctuality and consistency. While I may be quiet at first, I am very attentive and caring once I get to know people. My childcare experience began at home helping care for my younger brother, who is now 8 years old. This early responsibility inspired me to pursue professional experience, and I volunteered at a daycare in my home country to deepen my understanding of child development. After that, I worked as an au pair in the United States for two years, where I gained hands-on experience supporting children and families in a structured environment. These experiences have strengthened my responsibility, adaptability, and genuine love for working with children. I am happy to tell you more about all that as soon as we connect!
