Stay at home Mom of two kids. One 8-year-old and a 1-year-old. Very active and hands-on with at home creativity and learning projects. Very patient. Very attentive to children and their needs. I value structure and a routine to help the children get everything they need throughout the day from learning to play to nap times. I try not to encourage screen time and would much rather have them play outside or do arts and crafts. Very loving and kind to pets as well. I've had pets my whole life and having to care for them as well as work in a veterinarian clinic.
hi there! I'm Erin. I'm a Portland State University graduate with a BA in Sociology and a minor in criminology. I'm from Washington, Illinois and Pennsylvania! I've been a teacher at Little Vikings Daycare for the last 2 years and I now work part time retail in addition to nannying! I was a roller derby team coach, and the president of my theatre club! I love working with children and I'm a great leader and speaker. I'm comfortable with animals and sitting in an urban environment! Im looking forward to getting to know you!
I’m a warm, playful caregiver with 15+ years of experience working in daycare centers and preschools, and I’m also a mom of three myself. I hold a degree in Family and Human Services, which gives me a strong foundation in child development and family support. I love creating fun, engaging activities that help kids learn and feel safe, while also maintaining clear routines and boundaries. Children’s health and safety are always my top priorities, and I strive to provide a caring, trustworthy environment for every child I work with.
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!”
