Find nannies in Tualatin, OR

Hi, I’m a 42 year old female Portland native born and raised in Sellwood. I’m married I have my degree in massage and healing arts. My husband and I have a 18 year old daughter and have two amazing cats. I currently live in multnomah village, and absolutely love living in Portland. I have over 17 years experience working with children ranging from newborn to 12 years of age. I’ve always loved working with kids since I was a teenager my self. I’m a very active person. I especially enjoy being outside, hiking gardening, cooking and reading, art and museums. I’m very passionate about the outdoors and love creating space for the little ones that I watch to explore and go on new adventures. I am CPR trained as well as first aid and a certified preschool teachers assistant. I’ve nannied for many families throughout the years and have plenty of references to provide. I like to think I’m a creative thinker, great problem, solver multitasker and able to teach while having fun. I also have experience with working with the elderly and have been trained in that as well. I’m very much a people person and have an outgoing personality. The reason I enjoy working with children so much is that I believe it brings me as much joy as it does them. I feel it to be a very gratifying job. I think you really have to like what you’re doing to be good at something. Looking forward to meeting your families and their little ones.

I’ve taken several child development classes and worked as a summer camp counselor for kids ages 4–12. As the oldest sister, I’ve also had a lot of hands-on experience helping care for my younger siblings when they were toddlers. I previously worked as a DSP in a youth residential program as well. I was majoring in Art & Design at PSU and am currently taking a break from school. I love going on little adventures with the kids and have arts & crafts activities!

Hello, I am born and raised here Portland! I have two younger sisters and began caretaking at an early age. I incorporate mindfulness into my caretaking and engage every child's unique development. My calm demeanor and goofy spirit allows children of all ages to feel comfortable and safe. I'm also an artist and painter, so I enjoy creating crafty activities for kids!

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 :)

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.
