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.
