Experienced, Loving Nanny Available PT--Flexible

Portland OR

Description

Are you looking for childcare help a few days a week, or occasional drop in care on evenings or weekends? I’ve been a professional nanny and child care provider in the Portland area for 20 years, and have worked with many wonderful families! Now my husband and I are starting our own family, and I’m looking for a steady, loving family to work with throughout my pregnancy and afterward, where our baby will be welcome to join in on the fun. I love kids at every age, but my specialties are babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers. It’s so much fun to see little people take in the world around them, and begin to sign, make sounds, and talk! We have fun at every age—and with multi-age siblings—with plenty of songs, books, playtime, art projects, science experiments, nature walks, and more. I have a commitment to body positive living, which includes lots of movement like yoga, walking, open swim time, dancing, and making healthy snacks and meals, but does not shame or place value on foods or activities. I also encourage imaginative play, making up stories or reimagining fairy tales, having tea parties or dressing up and acting out plays. My nanny kids and I always have a lot of fun, as my focus is on bonding through shared interests, healthy communication, and enriching activities. We are LGBTQ+ inclusive, and I am fully vaccinated, as is everyone in my family. Though I love activities like going to the library, OMSI, the zoo, playgrounds, etc., I respect family wishes and welcome an ongoing dialogue about activities we all feel comfortable with, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
