Hi, I’m Maya! I am a warm and positive person who easily connects with children, they enjoy spending time with me and quickly feel comfortable in my care. Always smiling and patient, I create a safe and friendly atmosphere for play and daily activities. I am hardworking and responsible, keeping the home tidy and organized so that children have a pleasant environment. I can also help with light household tasks, such as cleaning up after play or maintaining a neat space.

Hello! My name is Allegra. I am a certified Reiki Practitioner and Voice Teacher. I am told I am warm, friendly, positive and a good friend. I love laughing and smiling as my name suggests and am known to sing and play music to those I serve as relief and joy-making. I love little ones and have cared for my nieces and nephews and friends kids for quite some time. I am good at coming up with crafts, outdoor walks and play time and happy to help parents where I can. I have experience early on in my career working as a full-time live-in aid for a woman with severe Autism and disability advocacy and working with those with disabilities are near and dear to my heart. I love working with older folks whether they need help as a companion for groceries or health care, or if they just want a friendly person to play a game with or watch a show with. I have recently served as a caregiver for my father for the last several months and cared for him in hospice through his passing this fall. I have a gift for working with those and the families of those who are severely ill, who have gone through major loss or transition or perhaps are at the end of life themselves. As a practitioner I am attune to caring for those in pain, those with anxiety & depression, ptsd & complex mental states. I am trained in healing touch and use sound and music as therapy. I am told I am a very soothing, calming, grounded practitioner and that people feel very safe with me. If these words in my profile resonate with you, I'd love to talk to you further about what your needs are at this time and how my skills and background my best serve you! Must note: I am a huge animal and plant person of all kinds :)

Hello! My name is Chantal and I am a 51 yr old private caregiver with many years of experience. I have worked with clients with dementia, alzheimers, parkinsons, MS, stroke victims that have caused severe limitations, and the elderly. I started as a volunteer in retirement facilities, and progressed to paid work. I have worked as part of caregiving teams, and as an individual. I also took care of my grandparents, father and aunt, throughout their end of life. I have a passion for caregiving, and strongly believe that everyone deserves to be cared for with respect, compassion and dignity, no matter what stage or age. I have a great sense of humour and approach my work with a light, warm energy and a little bit of "laughter medicine". I have references to attest to my professionalism and care. A little about me personally - I'm originally from Australia, and I moved to Portland with my (now ex) husband in 2011. I am a single parent (divorced in 2017) to 2 kids, aged 20 and 23, and I am trying to help them through college and launch their adult lives. I started this work by volunteering at retirement homes, reading and just trying to be "good company" to those who may not have it often. I am also a certified pilates instructor, and work mainly 1:1 with clients (mostly 65+ - they call me the "old person whisperer" at the studio) helping them gain strength and confidence with functional movement using the pilates system and equipment. I have a wonderful (and neurotic) little boston terrier called Hoagie (like the bread roll) and I enjoy all things textile related (sewing, crochet, embroidery) and food/cooking related. I've lived and traveled all over Asia - Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and China, and a little of Europe - Barcelona, and London. I would love to see more of the world. I am also about to embark on an "End of life Doula" training as I have a particular interest in end of life care.

I’ve worked in childcare going on a year now, the light I see in the children I care for gives me faith in humanity. Currently employed at a Montessori and I’m CPR certified.
