Hi, I'm Naomie! I'm a second year college student studying Music Education in order to be an elementary music teacher. I am also an art camp counselor, so I love doing artsy activities with kids!

I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified and always prioritize the safety of the kid(s) I am watching through constant supervision, enforcing household rules, and ensuring a harm-free environment. I'd love to connect with your family. Reach out with any questions! :)

Natalie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a former 6-12th grade teacher going back to school for nursing. I am looking for occasional or part time work on the days that I don’t have classes. My formal experience with children includes teaching middle school and high school, as well as summer camp with preschool to middle school aged children, and as an educational assistant for a special needs program. Although it has been awhile since I officially offered childcare, I grew up taking care of four younger siblings as well as foster children. I did often babysit for families with multiple children of different ages throughout high school and am looking to start again. I am comfortable with children of all ages, and am happy to help with light household chores and pets if needed. As a former teacher, I have a lot of experience with lesson planning and engaging kids in science (and other subjects too) regardless of their age and I would be happy to implement this in any childcare position. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Booked by 1 family in Gresham, OR

Hello! I am a warm, nurturing, mindful mother of two who stayed home with my children during their upbringing. Now that they've grown, I'm hoping to find opportunities to help other families look after their children and become a trusted source of support. I offer a calm and patient presence that fosters comfort and ease, which I consider to be a vital basis for growth and development.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
