Find nannies in Damascus, OR

My name is Makenna! I have been working in early childhood education for four years, children ranging from ages of 6 weeks to 6 years. I am currently a preschool teacher, teaching ages 3-4 years old in a learning through play environment. I am very big on communication as I know there can’t be trust between a family and the caretaker they choose for their child. Having a daily routine is an amazing thing to have with children and I am able to follow that schedule with given instructions and keep the house rules for your child as not to disturb a child’s daily routine. One of my favorite activities to do with children is art! I am not afraid of a mess as messes can be cleaned up;paint, play dough or coloring. In my free time I like to be outside, spending time with family or coming into these cold fall days staying in for a movie and some soup. As I do currently work a full time job 6:30-3:30, I am only available for weekday evening part-time or one-time job offers and available most weekends. I am CPR/First aid certified Please reach out if you have any questions at all for me or interested in me caring for your child.

Greetings lovely family, My name is Amber-Avenira, most people call me Avi :) With over a decade as a live-in & live-out nanny, including many years with a private nanny agency, I have enjoyed learning about a variety of lifestyles and parenting approaches including Montessori, RIE, positive reinforcement and more. With my bag of toys, gentle smile and warm sense of humor I am comfortable and confident in connecting with kids of all ages. And happy to support your family with anything you need. I work part time as a music teacher at a local music school, which keeps my schedule fairly open to continue supporting families as I've enjoyed doing most of my life. My beliefs strongly center around the "It Takes a Village" mindset, and I feel this is more important nowadays than ever before. We aren't meant to raise our families alone, it can really make a difference connecting with another person every now and then. So it is a great honor to be included in your village, even for a day. And my pleasure to be of service to you and your little one(s). I've included a few reviews from families I have worked with in the past. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all. I look forward to speaking with you soon! -Avi Heather You are very calm and give my children great attention. You play creatively with them and engage them in activities they're really interested in. . . Of course we want our children to be safe, have fun and be nurtured for who they are. You've been a great fit for that! Emily You treat children with respect and take them seriously, but also have fun with them. You pay attention to them and see them as individuals. Heather + Adam What most stands out is the engagement you had with the various developmental stages and creative needs of our children. We never returned to fussy children...they were always so content. Elisa My kids love you! You’re enthusiastic, kind, fun and you’re reliable. I also appreciate your punctuality. You receive requests and notes in a wonderful way. Kaitlyn You are so engaged and always come ready to play and meet her wherever she is at- happy, sad- you hold space for all of it and I am grateful :)

Hi- I’m Caitlyn and I’m a Momma to three wonderful Children. Prior to having kiddos of my own I worked full time as a Nanny for three amazing toddlers. I have experience working as a Nanny for ten years and prior to that I worked in a daycare facility. I love working with kids and love to keep them entertained and active!

Hello! My name is Sofiya. I’m offering child care, senior care, pet sitting and household services. I love baby sitting and have been doing so since about 14 years of age. I have worked at an elementary school as a teachers assistant and baby sat at home. I love art and can always come up with something fun to do. I also have experience working with elder people. Some of my tasks included cleaning, running errands and cooking. I love animals and have a cat of my own so I’m happy to work with the furry friends as well.

I value integrity, compassion, growth, playfulness and curiosity. I am a social worker for DHS but will be leaving my role to finish nursing school. I was a nanny and babysitter for 15 years. The roles consisted of date day/night sitting, after-school sitting/transport, M-F full-time nanny, and live-in nanny. The live in position was for triplet infants until they were 4 years old. I would love to share more about the families I have worked with. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I have a strong understanding of child development and therapeutic interventions for behaviors. It is important to be aware of not just a child's physical safety, but emotional safety too. Learned behaviors, nutrition and sleep all play very important roles in a child's well being. I encourage play that is not centered around electronics. Help develop neuro pathways that build positive habits and behaviors, like empathy. Autonomy is valued at every age so collaboration, nurturing and empowerment are used.
