My name is Sharon and I am a mother of two wonderful children ages 14 and 17. I have worked with children for many years in different settings. I have had several nanny positions, worked in a daycare, ran my own home daycare, and worked within schools with special needs children. I have a Master's degree in Special Education and taught for about 7 years. I have experience with children of all ages and abilities and love seeing them learn and grow. I especially enjoy working with infants and helping them reach their developmental milestones. I am very nurturing, kind and patient and focus on the individual needs and development of each child I care for. Thank you for considering me for the care of your precious children. I live in Oregon City so would prefer to work in the areas surrounding such as West Linn, Gladstone, Milwaukie. Would consider other areas for the perfect fit.

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)
