Looking for part-time nanny

February 20, 2012

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.

 

 

A GREAT NANNY AND A TINY COMPANION FOR YOUR BABY! (SE – PT W,Th,F))

February 19, 2012

Get two for one!  After eight great years as a professional nanny I had my own little love-bug.  Now I am looking for a lucky little one to spend some happy days with my daughter and me.

No need to scramble to get out of the house, we can come to you and your child will get to eat and sleep in the comfort of his or her home.  I will set up a pack and play for my daughter to nap in and will bring our meals with us each day.  When the kids are not eating or sleeping, we will enjoy all that Portland has to offer.  Activities of the day might include playtime at home, story time at home and/or the library, walks to local parks and playgrounds, and trips to the Children’s Museum, OMSI, the zoo, or community centers!      

A couple of years ago I went back to school for a Masters in teaching with an emphasis in early childhood education.  I discovered that I really do love working with the little ones and enjoy the freedom of being outside of a classroom.   We have fun learning out in the real world while I see to it that the children in my care are safe, healthy, and loved! 

If you think your child would enjoy spending time with us when he or she can’t be with you, please reach out to me at adavendonis<at>yahoo.com.  (Use @ sign when emailing.)  I would like to work the same hours week to week so that I can set up a routine for the kids, but can be flexible with which hours those are.  Most important is finding a family that my daughter (10 mos.) and I feel comfortable around and mesh well with.

Montessori Infant Care Available in June

February 10, 2012

I'm looking for a little one to join myself and my baby (due in March) in our home come June. We are located on NE 68th and Stanton. I'm looking for a baby who will be between 3-8mths in June. I'm offering care in my home 4 days a week (flexible days) between the hours of 7:30am an 5:30pm. I'm willing to share care with more than one family (i.e. two families looking for part time care) but never having more than 2 babies, including my own, at one time. My rates are somewhat negotiable. 

I'm currently the lead Toddler Guide at Cedar Montessori School http://www.cedarmontessorischool.org/ but will be leaving in March to prepare for the birth of our baby. I completed my Montessori training at Montessori Institute Northwest www.montessori-nw.org/, have a BA in Elementary Education and a minor in psychology. I'm CPR/first aid certified, have my food handler's card, and am registered in the Criminal History Registry. I completed both Birth and Postpartum Doula trainings through DONA www.dona.org/, regularly attend continuing education classes on early childhood education, and have impeccable references. 

My childcare approach incorporates both Attachment Parenting and Montessori methodology. I believe all human beings need to first develop a sense of trust in the person caring for them in order to feel safe and secure in their environment. I am familiar with and very comfortable with baby wearing. I am also tuned into when a baby is ready for some independent time and will have a specially prepared space for them to explore. I believe in providing all children with a thoughtfully prepared environment where they are free to explore and learn according to their individual interests with the gentle support of an adult close by. I carefully observe children in my care and will change out materials and introduce new activities according to their development. I am familiar with Elimination Communication, use cloth diapers/underwear, and provide children with the opportunity for independence in toileting. I provide homemade and mostly organic foods, including homemade baby food, and invite the children to participate in food preparation. I believe in providing time outside on a regular basis, even if just for a brief period of time on the coldest of days. I also believe in being silly and playful with the children, playing music, creating art, and participating in imaginary play.

On a personal note: I'm an avid gardener, own chickens, enjoy knitting, quilting, hiking, biking, reading, and spending time with family and friends. Our family consists of myself, our soon to be little one, my partner, his nearly 17 year old brother, and a very friendly cat. 

We look forward to opening up our home to you and your little one! Please email me with any questions and I'd be more than happy to provide you with my resume and references, as well as to set up a time to meet.

Nanny Available

February 05, 2012

Hello mommies and daddies! My name is Lauren and I'm searching for a new family to work for that is loving, laid back, and easy to communicate with. I've spent the last year and a half working with one family with their now 20 month old little girl, and I have loved every second of being her nanny. Together we have grown from tummy time, bottles, and babbling to talking, walking, eating homemade solid foods, zoo outings, splashing in fountains and reading stories. It has been an absolute delight to watch and help her grow into a sweet well mannered toddler from the teensy little 4 month old she was when I started, and I'm very sad to say goodbye. But, mama is pregnant and wants to be at home with her kids, so I have to find a new wonderful family.

I grew up in Aloha, Oregon and now live in SW Portland. I'm willing to commute to NE, but would prefer something on the west side (NW, SW, downtown pdx, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, etc). I'm in my early twenties, CPR/first aid certified, don't smoke, have my own car/valid license/insurance, and attended NW Nannies Institute here in Portland. I love to read and like to do artsy things like crafts, sewing, painting, etc. in my free time.

What I'm hoping to find is a family with an infant (newborn to 2 yrs). I feel most comfortable working with babies, love the relationship that is formed as they grow and become attached to you, and they are what I have the most experience with. I would prefer to work for families that don't have parents working from home, but am flexible on this if they have their own office/work space. 30-40 hours a week , with a long term commitment would be perfect. I am not looking to do a nanny share. Resume/excellent references upon request. If this sounds like the nanny you are looking for, then please email me at countrycutie22@gmail.com and feel free to ask me anything!

Thanks for your time!

Lauren

YOUR VERY OWN CERTIFIED MONTESSORI TEACHER

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! 

References and resume available upon request. Email amyponcez@gmail.com or call (503) 702-9832.

In-Home Child care just over the river

January 28, 2012

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.

  Kitchenset

 “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.

Frontroomdaycare1There 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!

We have been in a nanny share with another family for the past year and our nanny, Ahura has been amazing. Our family situation recently changed, in which we had to look at other childcare options. The hardest part of this change is saying goodbye to our nanny.  I hope to help make her transition to another family as easy as possible, so I would like to get the word out there.

When I was looking for a nanny, I spent months trying to find the perfectly person, and I can honestly say that I did. Ahura was responsible for watching our now 18½ month old son from January 2011 to January 2012. She started when he was just a 7 month old baby, till now as a young toddler.  While watching Owen, she also watched another baby 6 months younger at our house, as we shared Ahura’s services with that family.

Ahura is and always will be more than just a nanny. She will always be a special part of our son’s life. She genuinely cared for him and he quickly grew to love her and look forward to his time with her.

We will always be grateful for the love and attention that Ahura provided to our son. We never worried about him while we were at work. We knew he was with Ahura and he was ok. She seemed to absolutely enjoy growing his imagination, developing him, and challenging him and supporting his educational growth.

 Ahura is unbelievably punctual. Arriving a few minutes early everyday. In fact, as I write this, I cannot think of a time she showed up late. Further, she was always patiently waiting for us to come home, even when we failed to return the courtesy by sometimes coming home a few minutes late.

She always reported on the day’s activities and any issues that arose affecting our son’s regular schedule or any other issues that came up.  Never once did she ever complain or seem frustrated, no matter what type of day our son had.

Lastly, she handled the two-family, two baby situation wonderfully. Giving each child the attention they deserved, while providing them with the care and protection every parent hopes for. Further, the added complications of dealing with two families couldn’t have been easy, but we never saw her flinch from it. She handled it with grace.

Bottom line – I give my unconditional recommendation and support for Ahura. I believe she would provide any family looking for childcare services the ideal solution. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, lyndsayb@gmail.com. If you’d like to contact Ahura directly, her email address is ahura@comcast.net.

YOUR VERY OWN CERTIFIED MONTESSORI TEACHER

January 17, 2012

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! 

References and resume available upon request. Email amyponcez@gmail.com or call (503) 702-9832.

Hello, 

My name is Wendy and I have been working in the child care industry for the past 3.5 years, however, I have over 10 years experience caring for children, including raising a step son.  I have passed a National background check and Oregon's background check for child care workers. I am First Aid/CPR Certified and have obtained 400+ hours in Early Childhood Education. There for I am confident that I have the experience and the qualifications that you are seeking in a caregiver.

I have cared for children on a one-on-one basis and in a group setting.   I am a mature individual seeking a long term part or fulltime position.

I am pet friend, have experience with expressed milk and cloth diapers.   When the time comes I also have experience with potty-training.   I believe in little to no television, I make sure that all schedules are followed, I encourage verbal skills by talking and reading to the children, and I try to get out of the house once a day. 

I generally charge $12/hr for one, $14/hr for 2, and $15 for 3, but I am willing to negotiate to fit your budget.    My rate includes light housekeeping, generally centered on the children.

Kind, Educated Nanny Available!

Hello Mamas and Papas!

I am looking for a nanny position and would love to meet you and your child!

My name is Stephanie and I just graduated from Portland State University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Women’s Studies and have also completed nursing prerequisites for a future midwifery program.  I am an independent parent of a wonderful 5 year old girl.  I would like to nanny for a child (or two) and am open to all ages, including infants.  We live in the NE Hollywood neighborhood and she attends preschool Tuesdays -Thursdays from 9am-3pm, so it would just be your kid(s) and I during those times.  I can come to your home or your children are welcome to come to my home, if that works better for you. I do have my own transportation and can drive when needed, yet prefer to walk or take the max when going on adventures with the kids (save the environment and get exercise!).  Here are a few things about my parenting/childcare style:

We live in a no-television home, except for the occasional movie, perhaps once or twice a month.  I believe children should play, draw, read, and use their imaginations rather than sit in front of a television set! 

We eat mostly organic foods (as much as we can afford to) and I enjoy searching for new recipes to try and new ways to sneak in healthy foods in ways that are appealing to children.  I most recently made brownies that had spinach and carrot puree in them and they were quite tasty!  We also have a mostly vegetarian diet, with the occasional fish or poultry, but I only purchase those organic. I am completely willing to work with any food restrictions or allergies that your child may have.

We love books!  My daughter and I are regulars at the Hollywood library and have a bookshelf brimming with children’s books at home.  I think that reading to your children is essential in their development and we read every day.  It’s also a good excuse to get out and take a walk down to the library!  

My daughter is in a bilingual Spanish/English preschool and while I am in no way fluent (far from it!), I try to speak Spanish with her often.  Whether your child has no Spanish knowledge or is a native Spanish speaker, I would be happy to share what I do know with him/her.  Childhood is the best time to learn another language! 

Weather permitting, I would love to take the kids out on walks and/or to the park, zoo, etc.  I currently have a membership to the zoo and would be glad to make some “field trips” there.  I also have a 2 seater wagon that I can use for longer walks or trips.  If you have suggestions of activities or somewhere you would like me to take your child(ren), I would be happy to discuss that, and would also be willing to take them to any lessons they may have.  

At our house we like to cook & bake, do art projects, sing and play instruments, have living room dance parties, and all around act silly. I believe that fun is very important for children, but so is discipline and stability.  I am happy to discuss your parenting rules and uphold them while you are away.  

I am available all weekdays except for Wednesdays (when I do volunteer work), but if Wednesdays are needed, I can make arrangements to make that work. We can also discuss if you need weekend help. I have a trip planned in the middle of January and will be returning on the 19th, and then will be available immediately after that.  We can discuss payment based on hours, number of children, etc.  I am also willing to provide food for your child(ren) while in my care when we are away from your home. 

I have nannied for a couple families, babysat for others, plus of course I have plenty of experience with my own child! I am happy to provide references upon request.  

Please contact me at stephanie7284@gmail.com.  I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully getting the chance to meet you and your little one(s)!

Fun, Creative Nanny for the New Year!

December 20, 2011

    I am a Nanny that will be available in early January. I have letters of recommendation upon request and a resume as well. I have years of experience with children from my background being a counselor and a jr. counselor at YMCA day camp and week-long camps. I was a first year mentor at my university in Ashland, where I mentored and provided resources to first year college students. I was also an advocate at the SOU Queer Resource Center.  I have been trained in first aid, I have my food handlers card, and a valid OR drivers license. 

    My experience doesnt stop there as I have experiences watching and caring for my good friends' children. I have baby sat infants to teenagers and I know how to balance what children need with what they want. I am extremely trustworthy and a very loyal person, especially to the families I work for. Once I have sat for a family they want to keep me for years. 

    I can cook light, healthy, and especially balanced meals. I can make snacks and have arts and crafts time and even mix play time and learning time together! Learning and laughing I find are often one in the same.  

    I can guarantee you will be satisfied with my energy towards children. Baby sitting in Ashland, OR, taught me so much about patience and sending a child on their own journey through the world. I try to teach your child self love and self esteem building among many other things. 

    I am going to school for Anthropology (cultural) and Art currently. I have experience being an English tutor and Math tutor as well as knowing basic French and I am learning ASL. Along with my academic accomplishments I am skilled in housekeeping, cooking, hair styling/cutting/dying, makeup design, photography, and music. When I graduate with my degree in Anthropology I plan on traveling and studying the dynamics of families in all cultures. The relationships between families, lovers, and children is what interests me the most. How people balance their lives to raise a child and teach it all about life from their perspectives. 

    I am available as soon as Friday December 6th, 2012. 

    When contacted I can email my resume and provide signed letters of recommendation in person. My name is Cassandra and I look forward to meeting you and your family!
