My fiance and I just recently got engaged and at the early stages of wedding planning. I'm a Portland transplant, originally from Chicago. I graduated from the University of St. Francis with a Bachelor's degree in Biology. I currently work full-time at OHSU so I would only be available evenings and weekends.

I'm 25 years old and I've been babysitting since I was 12. My parents both worked after school so I would care for my brother, he's 4 years younger than me, until my parents arrived home. I've been babysitting on and off for family and friends of family since I was 13. I have worked with autistic children before. In the summer of 2007, I was a teacher's aide for special needs children during a summer school program. Most recently, I babysat overnight for two children ages 6 & 8 years old.

I have participated in a few volunteer opportunities involving children. In junior high school, I volunteered one summer at a daycare center. For a year in college, I volunteered at a hospital in both the pediatrics unit and in the family birthing suites.

I'm a firm believer in interacting with children whether that includes learning opportunities, games, reading, arts & crafts, etc. I love being outdoors during good weather and I encourage outside activities. I am comfortable with cooking/baking, housework, pet care, transportation, and field trips (such as: going to the park, grocery shopping, running errands).

I am a very safe driver, even more so when there are children in the car. I think I have one speeding ticket in the last 5 years.

I am First Aid certified. I don't have any reviews because the families I've babysat for aren't members of this website. I do have reference contacts available upon request.
