Genna $25 per hour for 1 child

I have several years of childcare experience, including nannying for a one-year-old for the past year and caring for a two- and three-year-old for two years. I’ve also worked at summer camps, so I’m comfortable planning activities and keeping kids engaged. I’m outgoing, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I’m currently in graduate school for counseling, which has strengthened my ability to connect with children and support their emotional development. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs and am very comfortable with pets. My schedule is flexible.

Booked by 1 family in Saint Helens, OR

I'm a former high school teacher and most recently worked as a nanny for two children. I focus on providing a caring and creative environment for children. Painting, reading and making meals/snacks are some of the activities they seem to like the most. I believe children should be encouraged to explore the world around them and have fun!
