Hello! I’m Nina! I live in Portland Oregon and have been working in childcare/ early childhood education for over 10 years! I have nannied for multiples, infants and was a lead teacher at a top rated preschool in Oregon. I work remotely as a Director of that preschool now and babysit as well! I am a great multi taker and love finding ways to peak little ones curiosity by providing a safe and nurturing environment full of opportunities for enrichment and exploration! Whether that means a “color walk” through the park, working together to cook a yummy lunch or reading together at the local library - I am always looking for ways to incorporate a love for learning! I am first aid certified and have over 100 hours of certified continued early childhood education training! Working with families is my favorite - I am happy to help run errands, do light cleaning and meal prep! Let me know if you (or your little one) have any questions 😊
Hi! My name is Grace and I recently finished my Master's Degree in Teaching alongside my elementary teaching license. This year I student taught in a 4th grade classroom :) I am located in NE Portland near Irving Park. I have a dog and love all animals. I am also primarily vegan, but am comfortable making dishes that include meat for your kiddos if desired! I will be available until the beginning of the school year, around the end of August. I grew up watching my many cousins, and have years of experience babysitting with kids from 1yrs old to 10yrs old. I can change diapers, cook, clean, and bottle feed. I love spending time outside, being active, and making art. These are all things I'd love to do with your kids as well. Thank you for considering letting me spend time getting to know you and your children.

"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!"

"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."
