About Portia

Experience: 4 yrs

As a nurturing, patient, and experienced childcare provider with four years of experience, I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. My positive experiences in previous babysitting roles and my innate desire to make a positive impact on children's lives drew me to this fulfilling career. My calm demeanor and friendly nature allow me to easily connect with children and build trusting relationships with them. I believe in open and transparent communication with parents, and I provide written daily reports and regular updates via text or phone calls to ensure that parents are informed about their child's day and any issues that arise. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules, ensuring a safe and structured environment for children. My approach to play is diverse, ranging from outdoor sports and physical games to board games and puzzles, and I incorporate educational games that promote learning and cognitive development.
