GREAT NANNY, JUST FOR YOU!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Jillian M. Currently I am looking for a new position as a Nanny. I was involved in a Nanny-share for almost the duration of the year but as the contract term ended and the children turned 1 they were placed in Montessori. I am comfortable doing either another nanny-share, or working for one family. I am comfortable working with up to 3 infants, depending on their ages, 4 toddlers, or 5 children in total but this would really depend on the overall dynamic of the situation. I am also comfortable doing care in your home, or mine. Ideally the position would provide at least 36 hours a week, but this is also flexable as I explore my options.

Here's a little information about me. I have an immense amount of experience with children. I started my babysitting career at 12 years old, after I received my Oregon babysitters training, and CPR certification. Since then, I have had experience in taking care of about 25 different children, usually two or more at a time (five max), in in-home settings. My experience with children ranges from newborns to 13-year-olds. About half of my clientele has been parents of children diagnosed with Autism. I have also worked and volunteered with a school that caters to meeting the needs of children diagnosed with Autism . My tasks at the school included building a summer reading program for some of the more advanced students. I directed the students during "signing times" videos (videos that teach the children sign language). I did teacher aide duties in the classrooms working extensively with the pre-schoolers, and in the occupational therapy room. In addition to this experience, I was also a camp counselor in high-school at Camp Howard outdoor school for 2 seasons.

I love to do activities with children. I am not the type of care provider who will sit children in front of the TV and do my own thing. Just to be clear, I rather children have no screen time during my time with them. I prefer for children to have fun. If the parent permits, I like to take them on outings to the park, or maybe a day to the zoo, children's museum, library, or swimming pool depending on the child's interest. I love doing art projects, or fun cooking activities, playing board games, and will even happily partake in dress up or tea parties. As well as making sure the children enjoy the time we spend together, I firmly believe in education. I like to come up with developmentally appropriate activities that stimulate the intellectual growth of each child. For school aged children I come in great handy for help with homework. 

I am a student and am working towards a degree in early childhood education. I take courses through the local community college's online program, when I transfer next year I will continue primarily with online education. I am familiar with many learning/parenting styles includingMontessori, Waldorf, Attachment Parenting, and Positive Redirection. What I am unfamiliar with, I am willing to learn. My time spent with your children is based on your needs, their needs, and your parenting beliefs. I am very flexiable when it comes to this as I understand it is your child and I enjoy learning new styles. 

I have a license, car insurance, and a car for transporting needs. In addition, I know basic Spanish, and am furthering my skills incase you are interested in your child learning a second language.

I would ideally like a position that offers at least a 1 year contract.

Best,
Jillian

We have a fabulous nanny. She has been with us since our almost 4 year old daughter was 4 months old, and now need to cut back her hours due to preschool. She has been amazing every step of the way, and we wanted to write her this letter of reference to ease her search for an amazing family. We are hoping to keep her with us part time, as she is now one of daughter's best friends. She is magic with infants, and could get my daughter to sleep way more than I ever could. She was adept in all my family's needs; cloth diapers, frozen breast milk, dietary restrictions, and anything we asked of her. As my daughter grew she always was seeking out age appropriate activities. She would search for classes at the community center to attend during her hours, and always taking our daughter to the playground. She takes my daughter all over to places like OMSI, children's museum, the zoo, playdate pdx, and swimming. She is energetic, bubbly, and fantastic with children. She is dependable and always on time. Please contact us via email with any additional questions you may have and we will be happy to call or email you back. For all other non-reference questions, please contact her directly. She has written some information about herself and contact information below. Thank you!

Here is some information from our nanny:
I am seeking a part-time nanny position in order to supplement my current nanny position. I have been working with my current family for more than 3 years, but now that their daughter is in preschool, my hours have been reduced. I am available:
Tuesdays (any time)
Thursdays (til approx. 4 pm)
Friday (any time)
Some Saturdays & Sundays
I am seeking a minimum of 10 hours a week. With some advance notice, I am also available for date nights and other babysitting jobs.

I think that children (and I) do best to get out of the house daily, even if it's just for a walk around the neighborhood. I'm very pro-active about finding things to do and places to go, such as the library, various story times, kid's musical events, playgrounds/parks, Play Date PDX, the Zoo, etc. Portland's such a family friendly place and there's always tons of activities indoors and out, whatever the weather, and I like to take advantage of that. 

I am college educated, but plan to nanny for approximately the next 2 years. I have a clear criminal background history. I have taken infant and child CPR and 1st Aid, but my certification needs to be renewed, which I plan on doing asap. I am a non-smoker and have no pet allergies.

As for my general childrearing philosophy, I am very flexible, but tend to pull my beliefs from multiple sources, especially attachment parenting and Montessori. (Since every family and child is different, I don't believe that any one philosophy is "one size fits all.") I believe in soothing crying babies and being interactive with them, and have experience with cloth diapers, feeding with breastmilk, and babywearing. For toddlers and older children, I believe in learning while playing, silliness, and redirection if needed. Although I am flexible, I do believe that children thrive with some consistency and structure. 

One of the most important things for me is to have a good fit and partnership with the families that I work with. Please contact me via email or phone if you have any questions or would like to discuss things further. I would greatly appreciate if you would include some information about your family, child care needs, etc.

Thank you!

Hi my family is looking for someone with experience and a passion for working with young children to care for our bright, funny, active, precocious, snuggly, adventurous 17 month old girl. Mom is an educator/teacher/academic/writer who has worked across the age and theory spectrum and has a passion for Reggio Emilia, play based and expereintial  learning. I see children as partners in research and experience as well as learning. Since my daughter was born I've been able to learn with and from her and I'd love to find someone who has a background in Reggio or any of the other educational practices I've mentioned. 

Dad works in computer programming from our home office and Grandma (who is a retired educator) live in our in law apartment.

We are looking for someone to give Dad and Grandma a break during the week while I (Mom) will be recuperating from major orthopedic surgery. Hours would be about 15-20 hours a week over the course of 3 weekday mornings (Wednesdays are essential but everything else is open for discussion.) Hours would ideally be something along the lines of 8 or 9 am to 1 or 2 pm.  Primarily we are looking for someone to do the things that I usually do with my active, creative little girl and won't be able to for several months. Trips to the parks near our close in SE home (less than 2 blocks from Kennilworth park, the zoo, OMSI, the children's museum, Mount Scott Community pool (we have membership cards for all of these places), trips to Cafe Au Play, Storytimes, kids music, outdoor adventures and of course just playing and being silly at home.

Because I have no idea what my recovery will look like this is a long term temporary position, somewhere between 4 and 10 months, most likely. This would make a great part time job for a child development student, mom (feel free to bring your toddler or young child), or childcare provider with an afternoon part time position.

Please be over 21 and have at least 5 years varifiable experience. Current infant/child CPR and OCH registration as well as fantastic references would be a HUGE advantage. Please have your own transportaion, insurance and clean driving record or be comfortable using public transportation.

Your primary job will be to take care of our daughter so it would be great if you were comfortable doing projects, helping her clean up, preparing simple kid friendly meals and snacks. We are not looking for a houskeeper, we would love someone who enjoys spending time with our daughter and wants to be included in our close knit family.

Thank you for reading. Please contact Aviva at: aviva@eberlin.net or (503) 528 4833 if this sounds like a good fit for you.

All the best,

Aviva

Hello! My name is Jillian I am 28, and have been a nanny for about 6 years
now. I have been bringing my daughter along with me
since she was 4 months old. It has worked out wonderfully! She now considers
herself to be an expert on babies and is a very good helper:) Over the past 4 years I
have worked with several wonderful families, who we still keep in contact with
and would be happy to provide references! I have recently worked with several
infants and do love babies, but also children 0-6 I like all ages, they all have their perks:)  I have CPR training, have had a background check, bachelors degree in psychology, follow
attachment parenting, I am also a hypnotherapist (all about positive thinking
and language) I work with a Healing Arts Collective and organize and run the
Family Dances there! Would love to talk more!

I am looking for full day's on Tuesday's and Thursday's. $11 an hour for 1 child $14 for 2. A nanny share would be awesome.

 I would like to find a position that starts the first week of September or shortly thereafter.  I like to get out of the house for walks, story times, play dates, etc. I can commit for 1 year at least.

Some weekend availability!

If you are interested email jillianbrown1@gmail.com or call 503-523-9569

** Healthy meals & snacks ( I belong to the USDA Food Program)

Hey mamas, 

We have two Au Pairs who are currently in the US but here as Au Pairs that are looking to continue with a host family.

There are many more amazing Au Pairs available as well. If you have a certain language or culture you want your Au Pair to come from let me know and I can send you a few that may work for you. 

Right now the two I am trying to find host families for in Portland are Irina and Stacey. 

Stacey is about to turn 19 years old, has three younger brothers ages, 17, 13 & 1 and is from North Lakes, Australia.  Stacey had her own car in Australia and has been driving while participating in the au pair program. 

Stacey’s childcare experience includes working in a school setting with children between the ages of 3 months and 12 years old.  She also provided care for a brother and sister aged 5.  She also provided care for her youngest brother.

Irina is 19 years old, has an older brother and is from Disentis, Switzerland.  In addition to fluent German and fluent and Rhaeto-Romance Irina speaks strong English as well as basic French.  

Irina’s childcare experience includes caring for three siblings over the course of two years.  They were 10, 9 and 5 when Irina started caring for them.  She also cared for a little girl from the time was 4 until she was 6.

Irina’s hobbies include snowboarding, tennis, volleyball and swimming.  She also plays piano and took singing lessons when she was younger.

Stacey and Irina are participating in the State Department Au Pair program. The State Department created the program in 1987 as a childcare option and cultural exchange experience for American families. We have been participating in the program since 1989 and have placed over 80,000 au pairs with American Families. Please contact me for more information about either Au Pair or the au pair program.

A little about me, I am a local mom here in pdx and I am passionate about attachment parenting, the environment and creativity. I work with an amazing Au Pair program and I believe it fits well with so many Portland families. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or are interested or pass my name and info along! Cheers!

What our families have to say about us:

"I'm writing this email to thank Brigit's teachers for being so sweet to her while she attended Grandma's place, particularly, Stephanie. She still talks about her everyday and says how much she loves her and frequently carries the card around that she made her. Today she yelled at her dad with the card in her hand "don't ever throw this away, it would make me cry, Stephanie is the best and she made this for me!" and I just about cried! I had a rough time in every childcare center my mom put me in growing up and to know Brigit was so happy when I was away from her makes me feel so good. We will be going to Europe for the summer! And before I started preparing for that, I wanted to be sure to thank you all. Thanks again to everyone for your kindness to my little one, she's had such good (and hilarious) things to say about her experience and grandma's place!"

"I am SO happy with the care and attention my child receives at your facility that I am willing to commute out of my way to get her there, even though there is a daycare across the street from our apartment. Keep up the spectacular work!"

"It's very close to my house, and when I came for a tour, I was pleased to hear about the educational focus--it's not just babysitting, but my child will learn all kinds of skills--social and academic. I also liked that the director was willing to spend so much time showing me around and answering my questions during my tour."

Hello Moms and Dads!

 I am a certified Waldorf teacher, mom, and experienced nanny looking for a

new little one to care for beginning this fall.  My childcare philosophy is informed by the principles of Waldorf education.  I hold a strong and wholesome rhythm including indoor and outdoor play, healthy rest and sleep routines, singing, artistic activities, and imitative housework.  I value simple, natural toys that foster imagination.  I offer a media-free environment that offers a gentle warmth and comfort that allows young children to thrive.  I have experience with cloth diapering, breast and bottle-feeding, and natural parenting.

My two-year old daughter has been my partner in childcare since she was 6 months old.  Over the past year and a half she has enjoyed sharing her Mama with little ones from 3 months to 4 years of age. 

Please contact me to see if we might be a proper fit for your child and childcare needs.

  Sincerely,

 Becky

ChildRoots, A Center for Young Children, (www.childroots.com), is an environmental and Art-and-Science-based learning community, dedicated to providing superior child care for children ages six weeks to six years.  ChildRoots, which is located at 50 SE 17^th Ave. and E. Burnside, has a new Center location in the Pearl that opened in April.  The new Center, entitled ChildRootsNW, is located at 1740 N.W. Flanders St. on the corner of N.W. 18^th and N.W. Flanders St.  The Center is a 9,000 square-foot-space comprised of nine classrooms, with a total capacity for 110 children.  The space was formally a Children’s Creative Learning Center (CCLC) child care, aka KinderCare. Because this space was previously home to another child care center, the remodel efforts and structural changes will be minimal.

ChildRootsNW features a nice-sized outdoor area for play and its very own parking lot. The Center will also have an art lab and a science lab.

Active enrollment for Preschool has begun at ChildRootsNW.

ChildRoots has been recognized by local media including The Oregonian, the Portland Tribune, the Hollywood Star, and Metro Regional Government for its leadership in sustainability.  ChildRoots features organic meals and snacks, locally-sourced food, cloth diapers, non-toxic wooden toys, creative spaces, a Preschool Atelier Program, and play-based learning.
