Grace $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Grace and I recently finished my Master's Degree in Teaching alongside my elementary teaching license. This year I student taught in a 4th grade classroom :) I am located in NE Portland near Irving Park. I have a dog and love all animals. I am also primarily vegan, but am comfortable making dishes that include meat for your kiddos if desired! I will be available until the beginning of the school year, around the end of August. I grew up watching my many cousins, and have years of experience babysitting with kids from 1yrs old to 10yrs old. I can change diapers, cook, clean, and bottle feed. I love spending time outside, being active, and making art. These are all things I'd love to do with your kids as well. Thank you for considering letting me spend time getting to know you and your children.

Natalie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a former 6-12th grade teacher going back to school for nursing. I am looking for occasional or part time work on the days that I don’t have classes. My formal experience with children includes teaching middle school and high school, as well as summer camp with preschool to middle school aged children, and as an educational assistant for a special needs program. Although it has been awhile since I officially offered childcare, I grew up taking care of four younger siblings as well as foster children. I did often babysit for families with multiple children of different ages throughout high school and am looking to start again. I am comfortable with children of all ages, and am happy to help with light household chores and pets if needed. As a former teacher, I have a lot of experience with lesson planning and engaging kids in science (and other subjects too) regardless of their age and I would be happy to implement this in any childcare position. Looking forward to connecting with you!
