Hi Families! My name is Elise and I'm excited to meet some of you and see if our needs and values align. I have so. much. experience. working with children and families. I've been a preschool teacher for most of my career but I also have many years of experience working in elementary classrooms. I have a BA in Child and Adolescent Development and an MS in Education. My Master's thesis was about the power of play in early childhood development so I am always finding ways to make even the most mundane moments full of play and learning. I'm a storyteller by nature and love bringing that to children. They love it too! I'm so comfortable around kids and am extremely confident in my abilities, and yet, I am consistently humbled by what they continue to teach me after all these years. Let's get to know each other and see if I would be a good fit for your family!
Hello! My name is Monica and I am an elementary school teacher and middle school coach. I have been teaching for 5 years and coaching for 3. In addition to teaching here in the United States, I have also taught in Japan and Chile. I studied Psychology at Carroll College in Helena, Montana where I also played basketball. Then, I received my Master's in Teaching from the University of Portland. I also have a teaching certification through the University of Notre Dame. I have spent my career taking care of and teaching children. Additionally, I have experience with taking care of infants as young as 5 months. I am responsible, enthusiastic, and trustworthy. I will make sure your child(ren) are safe and having fun.
Hi my name is Bethany and I'm 34 years old. I'm available for babysitting for date nights or any time needed out of the house or run errands for you. I also really love cleaning so that could be an option as well. I have done early child development from middle school until some years in college. I worked at Eugene Creative Care and at Campfire Columbia as a before and after school child care provider, as well as a nanny, in total 8 years before branching out into other professions. I currently work in construction, however things have been slowing down for my trade recently.
Hi, my name is Brooke and I use they/them pronouns. I'm here to help care for either your kiddos or pets. I have experience caring for infants and school-aged children focusing on enriching play like arts, crafts, music, outdoor exploring, and really whatever keeps your kids healthy and happy. I am a long-time pet owner and have previous animal shelter volunteer experience. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, and aquatic pets. And I'm willing to learn how to care for your pet if they don't fall into those categories.
“Brooke was very professional, punctual and my babies loved them!”
