About Portia
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Taking care and loving kids has been a huge part of my life. I am the oldest of four so I am used to always being there for young children. One of my first jobs at 16 was to host a youth bible study camp from ages 3-12. I worked for the camp for two years. It was one of my favorite jobs because the kids were so full of energy and till this day I still keep in great touch with the families. I also worked for a company called esteem counseling for another 2 years, we encouraged the youth on self love and self esteem. It was because of these jobs that I was qualified to work for a babysitting agency for over a year and also acquire a position as a substitute teacher at various Harmony Science academy locations. I am a Certified Nurse Assistant, CPR and First Aid certified and currently enrolled in Physical Therapy School. I have younger siblings of my own so trust when I say that I will treat your child/children just as they were my loved ones.

Portia is wonderful! She was a hit with my children immediately. She is kind, calm and always up for fun! I appreciated how interactive she was with the kids and that I could always count on them getting out for some fresh air and activity. Portia is very punctual and dependable, as well as very responsive. We absolutely adore her and I know your family will, too!
