General: Hi, I'm a preschool and after-school teacher with 7 years of experience in child care. I hold certifications in Childcare Education, CPR, First Aid, and Food Handling. My work is driven by a deep love for children, and I am passionate about providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. Child Care: • Experience with Age Groups: I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. I am especially experienced with infants, toddlers and preschoolers ensuring their development and well-being through safe and nurturing care. • Activities I enjoy with children: I love engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as educational games, outdoor play, and creative arts. I find joy in promoting both fun and learning, whether through crafts, storytime, or physical play. • Special Skills: I have a passion for cooking and enjoy involving children in simple, fun cooking activities. Additionally, I enjoy taking walks with children around the home or neighborhood, offering them fresh air and outdoor time while ensuring their safety. This is a great way for them to explore their surroundings and stay active. • Certifications/Training: ◦ Childcare Education ◦ CPR and First Aid ◦ Food Handler Certification ◦ Safe Sleep for Oregon's Infants (SS)
Hi, my name is Jeanny, I am a single mother of 2 children, 17 and 11 year olds. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care and household services. I can be a handy woman, run errands, cook and clean.
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.
Hello! My name is Sarah :) I am a twenty two year old recent college graduate born and raised in Portland, Oregon. I first started babysitting when I was thirteen years old - the same year that I got my Red Cross babysitting certification. I have babysat, driven, and supervised kids between the ages of one and fourteen on and off since then. I just graduated from University in England where I spent the last few years living and studying and earning my Bachelors degree! I recently moved to LA and then back to Portland after graduating and am looking for a way to make some money and meet people in the mean time! I love traveling, reading, playing piano, and movies. I hope to meet you soon! :)
