Find nannies in Happy Valley, OR

Hello! I am originally from Ethiopia. I have lived in the U.S. for 18 years now. I love learning and spending time with my loved ones. Amidst the pandemic, in 2020, I graduated from University of Portland with my Bachelor's degree in Biology minoring in Chemistry and Neuroscience. Ultimately, I would like to pursue a career in healthcare. Therefore, I have been working as a CNA since graduating. I enjoy being around people caring for the vulnerable, it is a true passion of mine. I love kids and have had previous experience working with children and their parents (i.e. at a preschool/childcare during high school). I believe that my background and skillset will allow me to genuinely care for you and your family.

Every day is new and it’s exciting with a child. I love seeing the world through child’s eyes. Each day will play outside . everyday We will read books and do art music and creative play also add fun to the day. I have excellent references I’ve worked as a preschool teacher and a nanny for more than 10 years. And I still enjoy every single day. I have 7 families I have worked for here all five star ratings. for some reason it doesn't show. but I did keep copies of them upon request. I would consider a privilege to care for your little one.

Hey there! My name is Maleny, I’m 28 yo and I’m from Mexico. Fully bilingual and living in SW Portland. I have lots of experience with children: I’ve worked as a gymnastics teacher, dance instructor, at a daycare and as a babysitter. My first year in Oregon I worked as an Aupair. I lived with the family and worked for them. I took care of an adorable baby girl from 4 to 16 months and up to now we’re still best friends. I was in charge of feeding her bottles, introducing new food, play time, baths, taking her out, nap-time and daily learnings. I also have experience with a wider range of ages all the way to 8 years old. I consider myself as patient, loving and proactive. I respect your way of raising your kids so I’ll follow your direction, but im also self motivated and can also come with ideas to share with your family. I’m very much of loving and respecting the kid’s feelings at the same time as setting boundaries and having learning moments.

Hello! I’m an enigmatic, expressive and passionate personality. I’m a fan of boundaries, co-regulation, parks, libraries, field-trips, and kitchen science experiments. I am passionate about swimming lessons, and really love taking kids to practice their skills! I started babysitting at a young age, taking safe sitter, first aid & CPR classes every summer at the local hospital until I graduated high school. If I could freely acquire degrees for free, I would be heavily credentialed in Peds Occupational Therapy and early childhood behavior. Professionally, I have worked for over 17 years in roles related to social services, nannying, job training support and placement for youth and adults with disabilities, as well as caretaking in assisted living and memory care. I am current on all of my CPR/AED classes. I am very confident in my abilities to assess and respond to emergencies including infant choking, first aid and CPR considerations. I am also familiar with basic medical equipment and disability or high-risk needs and procedures involving transfers, toileting, and various situations naturally occurring with potty training, elopement, TBI, night time anxiety and panic disorders, and more! I also possess a current QMHFA certificate for those with mental health considerations.

Hello! I'm Brittany and I have a background in childcare before becoming a licensed physical therapist assistant. My license and work experience have given me the skills needed to be comfortable with elder care, care for adults and children with physical and/or cognitive delays, and more! With 20 years of experience off and on I have cared for multiple kids at once, been a nanny, occasional babysitter, fill-in nanny, you name it! Most of my experience has been with children ages 6mo-5yrs, but all ages are great. If the weather is nice I like to get everyone outside, but games and crafts indoors make for a nice day too! In my free time I enjoy hiking, discovering new restaurants and coffee shops, listening to a podcast, reading a good book and hanging out with my cat, Alfie!
