Genevieve $30 per hour for 1 child

If you are looking for a nanny who can pivot from rocking a newborn to sleep, to building epic blanket forts, helping a teenagers study for their driver's test—all while having my job—we are going to be a perfect match! I am an active, vibrant Nanny who genuinely loves what she does. Childcare isn’t just a job for me; it’s an honor to be trusted. I bring a warm, animated, and fun-loving spirit into the home, making sure your kids feel completely loved, heard, and entertained. At the same time, I am deeply responsible and act as a supportive teammate to busy parents, making your day-to-day life easier and a lot more joyful. **The Tiny Humans (Newborns to 3 Years): I bring tons of patience and gentle energy to the baby stage. I’m an expert at soothing, baby-led weaning, establishing great nap routines, and doing goofy voices during tummy time to get those first big belly laughs. The Explorers (4 to 12 Years): This is where my vibrant side really shines! I love organizing messy arts and crafts, hosting living room dance-offs, creating outdoor scavenger hunts, and turning grocery shopping into a fun game. I also make sure homework gets done, schedules stay on track, and everyone gets to practice safely. **The Teen Crew (13 to 18 Years): I act as a cool, but trustworthy mentor, who is loving but can hold boundaries when needed. I’m great at listening without judging, helping them navigate high school stress, teaching them how to cook basic meals, working on life skills for their adulthood that they may not know they need but do, executive functioning skills, time management, and financial responsibility, and supporting them as they grow into independent young adults. Doing meal preparation for children, children's laundry, and keeping play areas, bedrooms, and gear sanitized and organized. **Safety & Emergency: I'm Highly vigilant and proactive regarding child safety, both inside the home and out in the community. I love having fun but safety comes first. I believe in open lines of communication providing detailed daily updates and teamwork. When I’m not busy, You can usually find me outside, reading/boardgames, something artsy, and always music. I’m also a bit of a self-proclaimed bird nerd—crows are my absolute favorite. Hugely active in Special Olympics and challengers baseball league communities, and I have been and still am employed with an active provider number through developmental disabilities for 9 years

Booked by 2 families in West Linn, OR

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!

"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!"
