General: Hi, I'm a preschool and after-school teacher with 7 years of experience in child care. I hold certifications in Childcare Education, CPR, First Aid, and Food Handling. My work is driven by a deep love for children, and I am passionate about providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. Child Care: • Experience with Age Groups: I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. I am especially experienced with infants, toddlers and preschoolers ensuring their development and well-being through safe and nurturing care. • Activities I enjoy with children: I love engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as educational games, outdoor play, and creative arts. I find joy in promoting both fun and learning, whether through crafts, storytime, or physical play. • Special Skills: I have a passion for cooking and enjoy involving children in simple, fun cooking activities. Additionally, I enjoy taking walks with children around the home or neighborhood, offering them fresh air and outdoor time while ensuring their safety. This is a great way for them to explore their surroundings and stay active. • Certifications/Training: ◦ Childcare Education ◦ CPR and First Aid ◦ Food Handler Certification ◦ Safe Sleep for Oregon's Infants (SS)

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.

"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!"
