About Portia

Experience: 4 yrs

As a childcare provider with four years of experience, I am passionate about supporting families and positively impacting children's lives. My friendly and creative nature allows me to connect easily with children, while my firm yet gentle approach ensures a safe and nurturing environment. During pickup, I provide verbal communication about your child's day, and I am open to regular text or phone updates. I tailor my communication to your preferred method. Though somewhat comfortable enforcing household rules, I believe in fostering open dialogue and cooperation with children. With outdoor sports, crafts, and educational games, I ensure a variety of stimulating activities. Holding certifications in First Aid Training and CPR Training, your children's safety is my top priority. I am also happy to help with cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, and light housekeeping. I am comfortable caring for up to two children between the ages of one and five.
