Hello there! I am a longtime nanny and childcare provider (15+ years) with years of experience teaching art to elementary students. Over the last eight years, I have worked exclusively with infants, starting from newborn through about 18mos. and I have adored it. My career has solidified and I am now providing infant/early toddler care in my quaint, clean, cozy home. I am excited to be able to help more families seeking quality attention while offering a high level of flexibility. I keep my caregiver to infant ratio low, working with between one and three infants at a time. [Note: After many years of consistently working with multiples, I greatly consider the practicality of the jobs I take and only commit to what I know I can have fun with] Depending on the day's schedule, babies can experience 1-on-1 attention or day-long playful friendships with 1-2 peers. My style is responsive, silly, relaxed. I cultivate a calm, light demeanor in every experience, even when babies are upset or frustrated. I am inspired by both Magda Gerber's RIE philosophy as well as Montessori for infants, both of which are inspired by independence, and respect for baby as a self-learner. Our days include a steady routine, zero screen time for babies, 80% French language immersion, dancing/singing/music, age-appropriate games, outside time, and quality prepared meals (when the time comes, and with an extra food preparation fee if needed). In addition to engaging in age-appropriate toys and comforts, I am a rain-or-shine nanny/person so whether we walk the backyard, tend to the small front garden, or walk to nearby parks, shops, and schools it is important to me to venture outside daily for fresh air, experience, and play. I am a "yes" caregiver with a "do it!"/"try it!" attitude. I'm not a hoverer and hope to connect with parents who believe kids need lots of personal space, patience, and time to make decisions. My rate is $15/hr/kid and while I might be managing a schedule online in the future, I am just at the start of this process and am very open to connecting with the right families. Let's chat about your needs! Please check out my website for additional information: chezplaypdx.wordpress.com

Camp Parker Child Care

6719 SE Pardee Street Portland, OR

I provide loving, family-oriented care to kids from birth through age 12. Care is available full-time, part-time, or before-after school. A walking school bus from Arleta school to our home is available for kids in after-school care. Care is available 7:45 AM until 6 PM, M-F. For school-age kids, extended care is available on late-start Wednesdays and on teacher in-service days. Art, crafts, cooking, creative learning, music and active outdoor play, and homework help are all important elements of our program. While we have many structured activities, I believe that kids need to be provided the materials and safe opportunity to explore their world in a creative way. Friendship skills are emphasized. On full-days, two snacks and lunch are provided at no additional cost. After-school kids receive a snack. I make every effort to provide healthful food with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, lean protein and organic dairy. When possible, food is locally sourced and organic. Meals and snacks are served family style, with instruction on appropriate table manners and conversation. I can accommodate special dietary needs within reason but this may result in additional cost. Christian education - bible memory and stories - is available on an opt-in basis. I am a warm and loving 50-year old single mom of a 12-year old and a 10-month old. I am seeking state certification (scheduled for completion fall 2011) and am a certified foster parent who has cared for 11 kids aged 3 days through 12 years, many of whom had special needs. I believe that every child has the right to be loved and appreciated for his/her unique character and gifts, and encourage kids to learn through play and service. I am open at this location through December 23, then will be moving to a new location and reopening January 3. The new location is yet to be determined but will be in the same neighborhood. I welcome your questions and the opportunity to discuss how our care might meet the needs of your family and child.

Our names are Mary and Maggie Koreen. We are 24 years old and have worked together taking care of people both young and old. We prefer to work together as a "nanny share" and ask that we are paid a flat rate. We find it easier to multitask especially when taking care of young children. Our passion for childcare started when we were in high school, volunteering for elementary schools. After graduating, we nannied/babysat for multiple families, mostly caring for toddlers and young children. Last year, we began a position in an infant center. We gained the most experience in Early Childhood Education through this teaching position, attending bi-weekly trainings on quality care. After 6 months working in that position, we were promoted to preschool teachers in our own class. Thanks for reading! We hope to hear from you

Hi! I am a Portland mama of two little ones (ages 3 and 1 years old) and I am looking for one other little one to join us part time throughout the week. I know how much childcare cost, which is why I chose to stay home after having my second child. I am a former teacher of Portland Public Schools and have taught preschool through 3rd grade for the past five years. I am currently teaching after school Yoga and tutoring a few students as well. I pride myself on organization, creativity and providing a safe and nurturing space for little people to grow and develop. I am a licensed teacher and have my food handlers and CPR certification. I am dedicated to providing affordable care along with building a relationship with the family that entrusts their sweet little one in my home.
