Find nannies in Donald, 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 there! I'm a former elementary school teacher with a degree in Education and years of experience supporting children's growth both in and out of the classroom. I've worked with kids of all ages - from infants discovering the world for the first time to confident upper-elementary students developing independence and emotional awareness. Teaching gave me a deep understanding of child development, learning styles, and the power of connection, and those same values guide the way I care for children today. As both an educator and a mom, I know how much trust it takes to invite someone into your child's world. I bring calm, consistency, and creativity to every environment I'm in. I love planning activities that are meaningful and engaging - story time, nature walks, hands-on crafts, science experiments, or just baking something fun together. My approach is centered on nurturing curiosity, confidence, and kindness in every child I meet. Families describe me as reliable, intuitive, and warm-hearted. I balance structure and play, making sure children feel safe, heard, and happy while parents can fully relax knowing their little ones are in capable hands. Whether it's school pick-ups, bedtime routines, or full creative play days, I treat every child with the same care and respect I give my own daughter. Caring for kids isn't just something I do - it's truly what I love.

My childcare journey began at 12, babysitting in my church nursery, but it was my younger brother’s birth when I was 13 that truly ignited my passion for caring for little ones. Helping raise him next to a hard working single mother showed me how much I love nurturing and guiding children through their early years. Since then, I’ve gained over 13 years of experience as a nanny, overnight caregiver, home manager, and preschool teacher. I’ve also worked as a professionally trained doula, further deepening my understanding of child development and family support. I’m also an active person and grew up participating in team sports, including soccer and swim team, which taught me the value of energy, focus, and teamwork—qualities I bring to my caregiving. I love creating fun, engaging moments to help kids learn, grow, and explore their world. With confidence, patience, and a second nature for childcare, I’m here to provide your little ones with exceptional care and attention.
