Gentle and kind childcare professional with 10+ years of experience! CPR/First Aid Certified, in Oregon CBR system, have relevant training, and references upon request.
Stay at home Mom of two kids. One 8-year-old and a 1-year-old. Very active and hands-on with at home creativity and learning projects. Very patient. Very attentive to children and their needs. I value structure and a routine to help the children get everything they need throughout the day from learning to play to nap times. I try not to encourage screen time and would much rather have them play outside or do arts and crafts. Very loving and kind to pets as well. I've had pets my whole life and having to care for them as well as work in a veterinarian clinic.
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 have been caregiving for most of my life and was taught to value my elders since childhood. I work as an LPN, 24 hrs a week. Covid really took the joy out of nursing for me. I could pick up hours at my current job but I’m seeking the ability to spend time and make a difference one on one. I am kind, responsible, and hard working. What I’m not looking for is the pressure of patient ratio’s, massive charting, rushing through care for the sake of the almighty dollar.
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!

"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."
