Diliana $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Gresham, OR

Hello families! My name is Diliana, and I’m an experienced caregiver with over 10 years in early childhood education. My background includes working as a Montessori educator, nanny, school director, and foster care sitter. I specialize in caring for infants through age 6, and especially enjoy working with younger children. I am CPR and First Aid certified, highly organized, dependable, and happy to support families with light household chores during nap or bedtime. In addition to childcare, I’m also open to exploring household manager roles for the right family. If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and knowledgeable caregiver who truly understands early childhood development, I’d love to connect with you and your family.

Brikel $25 per hour for 1 child

I absolutely love children! I grew up helping care for younger siblings and went on to study human development in college. I graduated with an emphasis in family studies and learned a lot about child development. I worked as a preschool teacher in Southern Utah before spending two years abroad as an English teacher to children ages 2-12. I have volunteered with children in a Chinese orphanage and worked with children in a number of different capacities. I recently went back to school and I am a full time student right now. I love arts and crafts, dancing, animals, and anything outdoors. I adore spending my days with little ones and helping them explore the world.
