Hi! My name is Maya! I love playing and learning alongside children and am highly patient and compassionate. I currently work as a part-time preschool teacher with kids 2-5 years old. I work with an awesome staff supervising 15 children where I help prepare lunches and snacks, assist in toileting when necessary, and engage in creative indoor/outdoor play. I have experience working with kids on the spectrum and other neurodivergence. I'm registered in the Oregon Central Background Registry and am pediatric CPR + first aid certified. I also occasionally babysit my neighbor's child, a 7-year old. We like to play outside, read, harvest fruits from the neighborhood, talk, and build. I love to be with kids outside and in garden spaces and have led volunteers at the children's garden at Wapato Island Farm. I grew up with five siblings and I believe it has made me a good listener and a compassionate mediator. In high school I regularly volunteered at my old Kindergarten-8th grade school. In college I worked at my school's daycare looking after kids mainly 6 months to 5 years in age. I drive up to WA every month to help my sister with her now 3 years old and I feel so lucky to be present for his different developmental stages. I love working with kids because they are learning about themselves and the world for the first time and I think that is very special. They are also great conversationalists. I value listening, kindness, empathy, and being silly. In my free time I study plant medicine, guitar, and Bahasa Indonesia.

Hi! I’m Andrea, a mom to an energetic 4-year-old and a professional childcare provider with over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including children with special needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I currently work professionally with children every day. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable while parents have peace of mind. I enjoy reading stories, arts and crafts, outdoor play, educational activities, and helping children build confidence through positive encouragement. Through my work in ABA, I have experience supporting children with autism and other developmental needs using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children, preparing simple meals and snacks, homework help, bedtime routines, and keeping your family’s schedule running smoothly. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. As a mom myself, I treat every child with the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family!

Hi my name is Lexi! I am 28 years old. My past work experience has been with teenagers 12-17 year olds and this was teenagers who struggled with behavioral issues and trauma, so I do have experience with de-escalation and trauma informed. Although, I have a niece and a nephew who are 1 and 3 who I am very close to and have babysat on multiple occasions.

Hello! I have been working with children for over 15 years! My first job in high school was as a nanny and tutor, and I then went on to be an instructor and program director on Catalina Island. Here instructed kids from 3rd grade - 12th grade in Biology and History in accordance with the California State Curriculum. Afterwards I got my degree in Teaching and History from Azusa Pacific University where I logged over 200 hours of in-class experience. After college I worked as a nanny and tutor in California, Madrid, London, and Australia for children aged 0 - 21 (with special needs). I have experience working with families of all different backgrounds and languages, as well as tutoring kids with learning disabilities and special needs (specifically Autism and Dyslexia). I am very active and like to take kids on walks, to the zoo, to the park, and play lots of games. I am currently in the process of applying to Graduate School for teaching so that I can further my work with children. If you have any questions, please reach out to me! I can't wait to get to know your family!
