hi there! I'm Erin. I'm a Portland State University graduate with a BA in Sociology and a minor in criminology. I'm from Washington, Illinois and Pennsylvania! I've been a teacher at Little Vikings Daycare for the last 2 years and I now work part time retail in addition to nannying! I was a roller derby team coach, and the president of my theatre club! I love working with children and I'm a great leader and speaker. I'm comfortable with animals and sitting in an urban environment! Im looking forward to getting to know you!
Every day is new and it’s exciting with a child. I love seeing the world through child’s eyes. Each day will play outside . everyday will do reading anf crafts. Music and special stories . also add fun to the day. I have excellent references I’ve worked as a preschool teacher and a nanny for more than 10 years. And I still enjoy every single day
Hi! I’m a therapist who works with tween/teen girls and I recently moved to Portland. I love spending time with girls ages 6–18 and am available for after-school or before school rides, homework structure support, and evening help. My speciality is mentoring and supporting girls in their emotional development, friendship world, regulation, and self confidence! Before becoming a therapist, I nannied for many families and have a lot of experience working with children and teenagers, supporting families and am still in touch with many of them! I’m not looking for full-time nannying but would love to support local families here and there or find a weekly position with a smaller amount of hours. Looking forward to hearing from you! :)
About me: CPR, First- Aid and Food Handlers certified 19 years old and studies @ PCC I have worked professionally with ages as young as 12 weeks up to 5 years old and I’m also happy to care for children older than that. It truly is my absolute goal to ensure a loving and safe environment for each kid. I am more than open to finding a family to work with consistently!
I’m a responsible and caring person with camp counselor experience! I think children deserve to be heard, and their needs met. I am a relaxed stabilizing presence for my campers, and am good at turning any situation into a positive experience. Positive forms of learning and personal connection matter a lot to me. Additionally I have experience with Nero divergent (OCD and On the spectrum) children. I am watchful and entertaining for the young ones! I am mostly used to managing larger groups of campers, but my best moments have always been with smaller groups or individual campers, listening to feelings and resolving problems! I've done care for younger children ages less than 1 - 3 for relatives outside of my camp experience. I think what matter's most at that age is fostering a secure relationship with the outside world, and I am frankly just fascinated to watch them learn! Please let me know if I could help your family! I am fully vaccinated and boosted. LGBT families are welcome, I am LGBT!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
