Hello! My name is Daryl and I'm currently pursuing a college education to work in pediatrics and neuroscience. I have over three years of childcare experience. I worked over a year as a volunteer teacher's aide for ages 3-4, over two years as a children's swim instructor for ages 3 months to 12 years old, and two summers as a creative arts camp guide for a variety of age groups. Across my three years of childcare experience, I have worked with children with disabilities one-on-one a multitude of times. While I was a swim instructor, I was certified to teach students with disabilities, and as a teacher's aide, I worked individually with a student alongside general classroom work. I am especially proficient in working with children with autism.
Hello, my name is D’Asia I’m a 20-year-old full-time college student at Portland State University offering childcare services for families. While, I don’t have any formal training or certificates. I bring a wealth of experience as the oldest of four siblings having taken on a motherly role when needed. I’ve cared for children ages one through six and truly enjoy fostering their curiosity, creativity, and growth. I love being outdoors and engaging in activities like painting, reading, and taking walks, which I found calm little ones. I can assist with homework, help keep them active and ensure they stay engaged with fun, meaningful activities . Although I’m allergic to cats, I’m comfortable with dogs. I look forward to helping your family by providing reliable, compassionate and engaging care for 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!"
