About Vanessa

Nurturing young minds & hearts is truly my passion. For the past 20 years, I've had the privilege of caring for and guiding children aged 0-11, from infants to pre-teens. I hold a college degree, Certified in 1st Aid & CPR, Safe Sleep for Infants, & a Step 9 in the Oregon Registry. My background in Early Childhood Education (ECE) allows me to create engaging, meaningful, & educational experiences. I am patient & calm, consistent & rational. I remain mindful of the family/ household rules & take parnets' lead when it comes to preferred communication methods. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games. I'm also happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and crafts. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I look forward to discussing how I can support your family!
