As a camp counselor at an overnight summer camp, I ran various activities and provided emotional support to campers, particularly those struggling with homesickness. My experience in before-and-after school care involved planning engaging activities while monitoring safety and facilitating conflict resolution among children. In addition, my role as an activities assistant at a memory care facility has equipped me with the skills to work compassionately with elderly and disabled residents.

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!

Hi! I’m Breana, and I’ve been working with children for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always helping care for my younger siblings and cousins, and I’ve been working professionally with children since I was 15, giving me 9 years of childcare experience. I’m currently a lead preschool teacher, where I work with children every day to support their learning, development, and social-emotional growth. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages and have experience with everything from infants to school-age kids. I’m also comfortable transporting children and enjoy planning fun, active days. Whenever possible, I love getting kids outside to explore parks, play games, and enjoy nature. One of the things I’m most passionate about is supporting children’s emotional development. I believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued. I strive to help children understand their big feelings and guide them toward healthy, age-appropriate ways to express and work through those emotions. I have experience working with children with ADHD, Autism, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). I understand that every child is unique, and I enjoy adapting my approach to meet each child’s individual needs while creating a supportive and encouraging environment. I know a little bit of ASL and am interested in continuing to learn more. I also love arts and crafts and anything Disney, so I enjoy planning creative activities and bringing a little extra fun to each day. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and where parents can feel confident knowing their children are in good hands. I look forward to meeting your family!

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!
