Urban Mamas

I want to write a whole-hearted recommendation for the woman who has cared for our son for the past 2 years. At the end of this summer, he'll be moving on to pre-school (at age 3.9 yrs). Several other kids (all older) will be moving on, as well, and this will be leaving a few openings for 2 to 4 year olds.

Here's a little background about Debby Holland and her home: she's been doing this for almost 30 years. She cares for kids in her home, up to six children a day (two kids under two and four kids over two). The home is located in NE Portland/Beaumont Wilshire/Cully area.

Her home is modest, sweet, and totally fun for the kids. She swaps out books and toys regularly so there's always something new and exciting. She is incredibly thoughtful about how she works with each child, tailoring her efforts to their needs, if they have specific ones. The kids play outside for some period every day, even during winter. She provides breakfast, snack, lunch and afternoon snack. Food is healthful, fresh, and organic as often as possible. The kids will often bake with her, measuring, stirring, and then eating the finished product! Parents may provide their own food, if desired.

Hi there!
My name is Ashley. I am 26 years old and recently graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in Texas back in December. I am looking for a full-time position, at least 35 hours a week, or even occasional babysitting- I am available anytime! While I was in school, I was a nanny for three children (ages 2-5) and was an occasional babysitter for a 4 & 10 year old. I have excellent references that I can provide for you and I have been babysitting on and off since I was 14. I love kids! I'm really big into reading (I absolutely love Fancy Nancy, Harry Potter and Eloise!), making music, dancing,  eating healthy snacks, science experiments, going to parks, arts and crafts, adventure, imagination, silliness and sidewalk chalk. I like to create games and scavenger hunts. I am open to doing cleaning and meal preparation, and any other household chores that need to be done. I rely on public transportation so I will need a family close to the MAX or buslines. Please email me: where you found my posting, a little bit about your family, your rate, and your requirements at ashleyborck24@gmail.com if you would like to to meet to see if your family and I are a good match!

We are now enrolling for the 2013 – 2014 school year.   

Enrolling for summer camp as well!

 The Willow Tree Preschool is an eclectic fusion of philosophies blending a respect for nature, with a focus on art, in a rich, lush, warm beautiful home environment created to meet the needs of the young child, developed with over 20 years of experience.

We are influenced by the progressive early childhood programs of Reggio Emilia, Italy and honor and protect this magical time of childhood. Play is at the core of everything we do, it is through playful exploration that real learning happens, creative thinking evolves, problem solving develops, and true connection and meaning is made; encouraging children to explore and build meaning through their experiences.

The preschool hours are from 9 am to 1 pm for children 3 to 5 years of age.

Hi UrbanMamas!

We moved to Portland recently for my husband's job, and there must be something in the water, because we're already expecting our first child - a baby boy - in June 2013!

As per instructions from almost everyone I know, we're already starting to look into infant care options for when I go back to work full time in September 2013.  We've gotten a few recommendations from my still measly social networks here but mainly we're relying on internet research which seems to be turning up the same few options: ChildRoots, Creative Minds, Grandma's Place, Belmont Academy, CCLC, the OHSU CCLC (we're looking in/near SE).  Or find a nanny.  

I figure this can't be all that's out there or 90% of the babies in SE Portland wouldn't have a place to go.  My prenatal yoga instructor says many places just don't have websites.  Does anyone have ideas - specific places or lists of places?  A nanny or nanny share would also be an option.  I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I don't necessarily need a full-time, 9-6 deal.  On the other hand I've been told not to expect to get any work done if I'm home with the baby, even if there's a nanny there too.  And I do travel for work from time to time, and my husband has VERY long and VERY inflexible hours (he's a resident at OHSU).

Would love to hear from anyone with experience or ideas!  Places you or your friends have sent your babies, lists you've received, other networks you think I should tap into?  Mamas who work from home, any creative ways you've made it work?  Nanny+coworking space?  Would love to hear any and all input!

Thanks SO much,

Beth Stucky (bethstucky1@gmail.com) - that's a number 1 in my email address

I am currently taking some time off from school, and work staff relief for a teen crisis intervention program. Being that I work on-call, I have a very open, flexible schedule. Early mornings, late nights, and weekends are all great for me.I am looking for a regular nanny position or some date-night babysitting gigs- I would love to meet families for either.
