We are looking for a part-time nanny for our 2.5 years old son.  We are looking for 1-2 days/week, ~9 hours/day.  We have some flexibility on which days of the week (Mon, Tues, Wed or Thu).   We live in the Arbor Lodge/Overlook North Portland area. 

We have been with our current nanny for almost 2 years, and it’s been a wonderful experience.  She is now graduating and moving on, so we are looking for someone new to help lovingly care for our son.

We are looking for a reliable, fun, loving and caring person who will provide different fun and stimulating activities for Liam.  Whether it’s a walk around the block, reading books, doing art projects, going to the park, going to OMSI or the zoo, etc., we want Liam to learn and explore the world in all sorts of ways. We believe in little to no television.  We would expect light housekeeping (putting dishes in dishwasher after meals and straightening up after a day of fun) so that you can focus your energy on engaging with Liam.  We are looking for a long term partnership based on open communication, trust  and Liam’s well-being. 

If you are interested, please contact us at gagnonme@gmail.com.

Hello my name is Gnora Gumanow and I will be teaching private swim lessons and running a babysitting service all summer long (from May 7-August 31st).

I am a current sophomore at Ohio Wesleyan University studying psychology and spanish. I will be in Portland all summer.

I have been a swim instructor employed with Portland Parks and Recreation for 4 years and I have built a lot of experience through teaching with them. I am also a certified lifeguard with infant, child, and adult CPR and first aid training. For lessons I will figure out a pool plan with each family individually. I am also willing to babysit during the day or at night for kids over the age of 2. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and I have a lot of experience working with kids. I was a camp counselor last summer and I would be willing to take the kids to the zoo, or to the park to play games.

I am very flexible with hours and activities so you and I can talk about what you want your kids doing during the summer when they are under my care. I usually charge around 20 an hour for swim lessons plus any pool fees, and 12 dollars an hour for babysitting, this can all be negotiated between me and parents. 

If you are interested please feel free to email me.

Hello!

Hello.  I am providing care just across the river in Vancouver.  I run an in-home child care with a very small group of children.

 

 “The e nvironment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.” -Maria Montessori

Children benefit from being able to explore the environment around them inside and outside.  This includes having materials available for them to learn about, touch, explore and for it to be safe to do so.  I believe in making materials for the children to use from ordinary items at home.  This can include anything you might find in the recycle bin: bottle caps, boxes, paper, toilet paper rolls, jars etc.  While outside children should be free to learn about plants/trees, watch animals and insects and run free. This can be done by taking nature walks, exploring the backyard or simply bringing in items from nature to use for projects or simply to observe.  We also do bike riding, digging in the sand box and drawing with chalk.

There are many reasons why parents might need to find a provider to care for their children.  I provide a safe environment in my home with a loving and nurturing caregiver who is very patient and understanding.  I believe in respecting the child as a whole and this will include how I talk and interact with them.  For example letting children learn to feed themselves, pouring milk or juice, answering questions the child might have or just simply giving the child encouragement when trying to accomplish a goal. 

I also offer respite care and was a former respite care worker with the State of Washington for families that have children with special needs.  I have experience working with children with: Autism, Down's Syndrome, ADHD/ADD, blind, deaf, non-walking/cerebral palsy, Sensory Integration, drug addiction and children that need more social interaction in general.  I also have training in several different philosophies including: Montessori, RIE and Reggio.  I try and incorporate the children's art work into our environment along with pictures of the children in play.



I also bring with me:
*Former Preschool Teacher
*Current CPR & First Aid Certification
*Montessori Training

 

Please contact me for more information and if you want to schedule a meeting!

Portland Language Art (PLA) is a new child care facility in NW Portland. It is located off Cornel Rd and NW 102nd Ave, cross street from Cedar Mill Elementary School, just outside of Forest Heights. PLA owner/operator Lillian Sun has a child care license and will open Jan 2, 2012. Lillian is a loving and caring mom, who has two boys (4 and 6). More than three years ago, when Lillian was frustrated by finding her older son a good quality preschool, she started to have this idea of having her own child care/preschool. In past three years, Lillian has visited many preschool programs, attended early childhood workshops, and done research on preschool education. The result is Portland Language Art, a new child care/preschool facility that provides children an opportunity to learn a foreign language while he/she plays in a clean, healthy, safe and creative  environment that supports learning and creativity. PLAis planning to provide multiple foreign languages in future (which helps brain development and  allows the child to develop an interest in learning another langauage). For the time being, as Lillian is native Mandarin speaker, she will provide Mandarin teaching. In doing her research on preschool teaching methods, Lillian was highly influenced by the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches. She has designed a program that will be Montessori based but Reggio inspired --- mixed age group, each child has own curriculum that allows the child to progress at his/her own pace, but will utilized more visual arts and music which enhance  creativity.

Hello! 

Are you a parent interested in having your own experienced Montessori teacher for your child? I am an experienced Montessori teacher trained at The Montessori Institute of Minnesota, with a Masters degree in Education and Child Development from Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland. Before this I was most recently a teacher at a local Montessori elementary school, and prior to that taught at the Montessori Children's Community in the Dominican Republic. I also have over four years experience as a nanny from birth to age four, and have over ten years experience working with children between the ages of birth to age 12. I have reliable transportation and am willing to work throughout the Portland metro area.

What I do goes beyond child care. I create and teach age-appropriate Montessori activities (if desired by parents) and enjoy many teachable moments as they arise. My method is more akin to in-home preschool/ elementary school with a large dose of silliness and fun. I love assisting children in their own discoveries and activities, such as art, cooking, gardening/plant care, flower arranging, the Spanish language, and much much more depending on the needs and interests of each unique child. 

Should you be interested, I am also offering an additional service wherein I can create an age-appropriate Montessori environment in your home, which maximizes your child's independence and fosters opportunities for learning. This can be accomplished on almost any budget. 

I am infant/child CPR and first-aid certified and bilingual (Spanish), and am currently seeking full time work. I am also willing to do some evening/weekend work.

I look forward to meeting and working with you and your children!

My daughter started attending Aprende Con Amigos this August and she absolutely loves it. She's goes 2 half days and I am always amazed at how much Spanish she's already picked up. My partner and I chose the Aprende for it's location and affordability, and of course the Spanish immersion - and we're so glad we did. Stacey (the director) has developed a great program that, for us, is turning out to be very successful. Reggio Emilia is the learning philosophy. M-F 8-5pm or half days. Contact Stacey for more information.

Hola! I am Natalie, and our Cuban nanny has a niece looking for work. She speaks minimal English, which is great for your babies to learn Spanish, but means you need some basic Spanish to communicate with her. I have only taken a little bit of Spanish lessons, and find it's okay; I can communicate. If you need help initially, like with an interview, I am willing to help with that.

She is from Cuba; she is about 30 (I'm not actually sure what her exact age is); and she has experience and references working as a nanny. Her name is Damaris. Email me for her phone #, nataliepdx at g mail

I am the mother of a 1 1/2 year old, and our wonderful nanny will now be available Monday-Thursday, all morning until 11:30am.

She is continuing to work as our nanny Part Time, but is available for the first part of the day, Monday-Thursday.

She has been our nanny for over 1 year, and she is wonderful. Our daughter loves and adores her, and the nanny loves her even more. She really connects with our child, interacts, and is just a natural. My husband and I worked from home for awhile and we got to see our daughter with our nanny. Needless to say we were more than happy with how she took care of our daughter. We get comments from our neighbors who see her at the park, walking in the neighborhood, etc. about how great she is with our daughter.

We live in the South Waterfront community near downtown Portland. Our nanny travels by bus & max train, so she is looking for someone else in the South Waterfront area or very close (downtown, South Waterfront).

She also does housekeeping while our daughter sleeps (dishes, laundry, sweeps floor).

Please email me with any questions, I'm doing the legwork for our great nanny, as she speaks english, but not 100%.

Hi!

I'm looking for childcare very close to my work place near Lair Hill Park in SW Portland.  Interested in child care centers, nanny-shares....anything.   I hope to find loving, eco-conscious care; even better if the care giver(s) will speak to my baby in another language.   Care must be able to occur at your site, and I can come visit on my lunch break :)  My child is 7 months old.  

Please email ksimpson68@gmail.com if you know of any great options in the area! 

Thanks,

Kelly

We are a family in inner NE with three school-age children looking to share our incredible nanny, Eva, with another family. Eva has been with our family for 9+ years. She will take care of our three children after school (from 2:30-5:30 p.m.), so we are looking for a family with a baby and/or toddler who needs help for the first half of the day (like 9:30-2:30 or 8:30-2:30, or thereabouts) Monday thru Friday. If you are willing to have her look after our kids as well, you might be able to also have her watch your child after school one or two afternoons/week. [NOTE: I posted this listing before, when I thought Eva didn't want to get to work before 10 a.m. because of I-5 commute. I was mistaken: She's fine getting to work earlier.)

Some details about Eva:

-Originally from Mexico, Eva’s primary language is Spanish. She speaks some English.

-Eva speaks Spanish with our children because we want them to be bilingual. She would speak Spanish with the children of the family who nanny-shares with us, thus it would work best if family had younger children or bilingual children.

-Eva engages children through song, talking, and movement. Eva is always talking to our children and engaging them in various ways. As a result, they speak Spanish incredibly well.

-Eva is very active: She loves taking our children to the neighborhood parks, OMSI, the zoo, etc. (She is on our OMSI and zoo membership.)

-Eva folds all of our laundry, irons clothes, and does light housework (e.g. sweeps kitchen floor, makes children’s beds, etc.). She perceives a need almost before we realize it!

-Eva lives in Vancouver. She wants to work on the eastside, NoPo, or possibly NW—somewhere easy to get to from I-5. She could also work in Vancouver.

-Eva charges $15/hour, which includes taxes to be withheld.

-Eva is incredibly loving, generous, gracious, and thoughtful.

I could go on and on, but I’ll stop now. Eva has entrusted me to find a family to nanny-share so please contact me if you are interested in finding out more.
