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!
22-year-old recent Washington State University business graduate and oldest of five boys with years of hands-on experience caring for toddlers through teens. CPR/First Aid certified, clean record, active, reliable, and happy to engage in any activities kids enjoy.
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.
Hello! My name is Miranda. I am a mother to five, ages 17-9. I have worked for local school districts for the past 4 years as a Paraeducator or IA. I have a background in foster care, I was a respite provider for nearly 15 years. My specialty was and is high needs kiddos. I volunteer at my kids dance studio to help with littles during shows. We also currently have, two cats and a dog; however, at one point we had 2 hamsters, 5 guinea pigs, lots of fish and frogs as well.
Welcome — my name is Michael! I’m an educator, parent, and lifelong caregiver with over 25 years of experience working with children, seniors, plants, and cats. I hold a master’s degree in Public Administration and completed all coursework for a master’s in the Art of Teaching. Over the years, I’ve raised five children and numerous godchildren, coached youth sports, and led art, tutoring, and community programs that center creativity and care. I love the outdoors, plants, cooking, music, and meditation — and I bring that same balance and joy into the homes I support. Families describe me as calm, reliable, and nurturing, with a structured yet easygoing approach that helps everyone feel at ease. I’m happy to cook and do light cleaning, but I’m not a housekeeper — no deep cleaning. I’m great with cats and plants, and I’m still working on overcoming my fear of dogs. I look forward to connecting with families who value kindness, growth, and good energy in their home.
