Hello! My name is Mary and I'm excited to start working with you. I have a BA in English Lit with a minor in French. After graduating college I spent a year in France teaching English to French high schoolers. Before doing that I was a reading tutor and baby sat for many wonderful families, including families with autistic and ADHD sons. I have also worked as a skills coach for developmentally disabled adults and feel comfortable working with kids of different ability levels. My motto as a caregiver is patients, compassion, and most importantly having fun will make everyone's experience great. I am also a professional baker and pastry cook, and love to cook for kids or with them! I've been living in Portland for about 5 years now and I love this beautiful city and all it has to offer. In my spare time I like to go biking with my boyfriend, go on hikes, sketch (mostly flowers and nature stuff), read, and write poetry. I also love superhero movies, cartoons, and photography. I would love to get a chance to get to know your family.

Hello all! My name is Krysta and I'm on the look out for a new family! I've been in childcare for almost 9 years and a private nanny for almost 7 years. I do have a 2.5 year old boy (06/03/2021) who has come along with me since he was 8 weeks old. Before I was a nanny I was a lead at a popular Portland based in-home daycare where I oversaw the care of 16 infants and 3 other workers. Our ratio was 4:1. I have experience with multiples and my last nanny share job was with 4 kiddos- a set of twins, a singleton and my own son, Theo. I love creating long term bonds with children along with their families as I see myself as an extension of them. Some of my skills are as follows: • CPR and first aid trained and in the ORO database, clean driving record with a safe and reliable car. • Supporting children in play activities, meals and snacks, hygiene and socialization. • Assisting with light housekeeping duties as well as running errands. Organization and cleaning up the home after activities by picking up toys and straightening up play rooms. • Building positive and nurturing environments to support child's social and emotional growth. • Preparing tasty and healthy meals for children to encourage good eating habits. • Engaging with children on an age-appropriate level. Balancing playtime to help support development of fine motor, and cognitive skills Getting outside, puddle jumping, singing silly songs, dancing crazy dances, block building, imagination play, arts and crafts are some of my favorite things

A nanny working for one family looking to share with another young family. The family lives in the Richmond neighborhood of SE and consists of two boys ages 4 (soon to be five) and 7. They are watched by the nanny during the workweek, roughly 4 hours, five days a week. The four year old will be starting kindergarten this coming Friday and the 7 year old started second grade this week! Some of the things the boys love are, going for walks to the park, legos, reading books, science projects, baking, making art and building. Mom works from home so can help out in an emergency. Family can host part or all the time. Hi! My name is Kristin and I have worked in education for almost 20 years. I worked with teens and adults with hearing and sight disabilities at Perkins School for the Blind, in Boston for 8 years before moving to Portland 9 years ago. I have worked at a small Charter School for 8 years where I created and directed an aftercare arts program and then worked as an educational assistant for the school, mostly in the K-1 classrooms. I have worked at a Montessori school with toddlers and infants. I have been nannying for four years and have experience with children from 6 months old to 7 years old! I am a fun, silly and creative person who loves being outside, gardening, animals, cooking and painting. I am passionate about education and creating a safe and loving space for children and adults to learn and grow.

“I have worked with Kristin for 6 years. She is a kind, caring and compassionate person who loves working with children. And children adore her. She appreciates each child's uniqueness and has a special ability to connect with them. Kristin adapts quickly to differing needs and situations with a positive attitude. I have witnessed her working with everyone from individual children to groups or classrooms of students. Kristin is an artist who uses her love of the arts to teach and engage others through various mediums. She loves to have fun, whether it is dancing with kids, playing games or as simple as getting totally engaged reading a book to them. The way in which Kristin engages with children, any family would be lucky to have their children spending time with her. In the words of a former student "she treats everyone like family."”

Hi, my name is Kristen! I am a calm, warm, patient person with a positive demeanor and genuinely love to help people! My background is in art, design and architecture. I am currently pursuing design from a different approach and working part-time in caregiving and babysitting. I am great with kids and am educated and savvy about ADHD, Neurodiveristy and complex-trauma. I am particularly good with Neurodivergent, ADHD or creative kids. I am a curious person in general and love helping kids learn about their interests and in particular love to support or mentor around art, crafts, design, etc. I am also interested in working with seniors and enjoy chit chatting, helping with compassion and thoughtfulness and am able to be thorough and conscientious around routines and medication. I am also happy to assist with basic meals. Please let me know if you have any other needs and we can figure out what works! I love cats and dogs! I have not had the chance to be a pet owner yet, but would love to meet your pets and care for them as well!

I have a flexible schedule, working from home on my own eCommerce website. I was a nanny for many years - the children I cared for are now grown, and I thought I would once again offer my services to parents in my area needing occasional reliable, competent childcare. I have many years of experience caring for children from infants through elementary school. I am a former toy-store employee who knows how to PLAY with toys! I have a fun, youthful spirit, a great sense of humor, and I enjoy being around kids. Hoping to hear from you!
