About MJ
Experience: 7 yrs
Hello, my name is MJ (they/them), and I'm excited to be considered for your care needs! ABOUT ME I'm a 35-year-old, nonbinary human from Texas. I moved to PDX after a stint in grad school at NYU. I followed my passions into community organizing. Now my passions shifted toward building a just world through strong, caring relationships, which is why you find me here Per a friend survey, I am caring, attentive, creative, playful, adaptable, and "FULL OF WHIMSY AND MAGIC" (that's a direct quote) CHILDCARE EXPERIENCE I total 7 years of childcare experience, ages from 3m-13yo, through private nannying and formal childcare facilities. With every kiddo, I tailor activities, including artistic, educational, and physical play, in order to attune to their individual needs. I like to bring in my knowledge of consent-based and trauma-informed practices, responsive parenting, coaching and mediation to support kids in their critical thinking and social-emotional skills appropriate for their age
Most recent review
MJ was so great with my kids! Showed patience and planned activities that played to their interests. Punctual and followed our dietary restrictions. It was so good to have someone I could trust to be kind and treat my family with respect.
