Hello! My name is Miranda. I am a mother to five, ages 17-9. I have worked for local school districts for the past 4 years as a Paraeducator or IA. I have a background in foster care, I was a respite provider for nearly 15 years. My specialty was and is high needs kiddos. I volunteer at my kids dance studio to help with littles during shows. We also currently have, two cats and a dog; however, at one point we had 2 hamsters, 5 guinea pigs, lots of fish and frogs as well.
Hello everyone! My name is Julia and I’m recent graduate from Oregon State University. I’m offering childcare services, household services, and pet care services. I have childcare experience with multiple-child families, ages 2-12. I’m able to run errands, grocery shop, clean, make meals and snacks, and laundry if requested. For pet care, I have experience with both cats and dogs. I have a cat of my own so I’m well-versed in playing, changing litter, and on-time feeding. I love playing with the animals as well, and will give them great company! I don’t have allergies to any pets. A little more about me: I love to cook new recipes, read fiction books, be out in nature, bird watch, and do arts and crafts. One of my favorite crafts I did as a kid was making fairy houses! You can take bark, leaves, sticks and twigs, moss, and anything else you can find outside (+ hot glue) and make something magical. Pro tip: Dust the top of it with fairy dust (glitter) when the kids go to bed so they wake up to a little fairy surprise!
