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!

For the past several summers, a group of about five families in NE Portland have collaborated to form a summer playgroup. Our children are now heading into the second grade (6-7 years old). Yikes! We are looking for someone experienced facilitating small groups of children/leading structured activities. The format for the playgroup has been either Mon.-Thurs. or Mon.-Fri. from 10-3. We host at one of our houses and contribute money for the purchase of supplies. The day is generally structured around a daily science or art activity (or both), some free play, lunch, and an afternoon activity/field trip (usually accessible by foot or bus if you feel adventurous). Each family pays $5 per hour plus a materials fee-for up to five children. If fewer children attend for whatever reason-we will guarantee at least $20 an hour. Currently we are looking for someone who is available the following weeks:

July 16-20

July 23-27

July 30-Aug 3rd

There is a possibility of adding an additional week in August:

August 6th-10th or

August 27th-31st

Do not hesitate to respond even if you are not available for all of these dates. We are flexible. Thank you for taking the time to read. I'll look forward to talking with you soon. jessica_katz_1970@yahoo.com

 

 

Hello Moms and Dads!

 I am a certified Waldorf teacher, mom, and experienced nanny looking for a third child to join my small childcare group in inner SE Portland.  For the past year I have enjoyed caring for a one-year-old boy and a two-year-old girl, who would love to welcome a new playmate.

 My childcare philosophy is informed by the principles of Waldorf education.  We have a strong routine including indoor and outdoor play, healthy rest and sleep routines, singing, artistic activities, and imitative housework.  I value 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.

 Our ideal match would be a child between the ages of one and four.  I am looking for part-time care, but we can be flexible depending upon the needs of the family.

 I have extensive experience working with young children from birth to age seven and can provide references upon request. 

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

 Sincerely,

Becky

Hello. I am a 25 year old mother, and part time student looking for a family in need of a part time nanny.  My family and I just moved, so I lost my job as a nanny, where I was caring for another child along with my own, within my own home. Now I’m looking for a part time child to care for outside the home, where I can potentially bring my own 2 year old daughter with me. 

 

I am highly qualified to be your nanny. Before having my own daughter, I was employed at CCLC “Children’s creative learning center”, as a full time toddler teacher. Before that, I was employed at A Childs Kingdom working mainly with toddlers, and infants. I have worked part time in a few other licensed child care centers, and I’ve been employed as a nanny for two different families. Over all, I have nine years working with children and I love doing it. 

 

I contain an abundant of skills including empathy, energy, communication, listening, playfulness, creativity, organization, multi-tasking etc.  

 

If I sound like I could be a good fit for your childcare needs, please feel free to email me at:

 

itskatelin@gmail.com

 

I look forward to hearing from you!

Lunch and one to two snacks (mostly organic, always homemade) are
provided daily.  Our activities include a drama, song/music circle, reading,
snack, art, outdoor play (gardening or other), dance/yoga/games,
baking, lunch, story time, and more outdoor play.  We also do field
trips on Mt. Tabor and to neighborhood parks.  We are outside all day

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8A06DF8CDB30DB6D

We believe all curriculum needs to be inquiry-based, and
 is modeled upon the interests of our students.  Our schedule
changes daily as we sometimes get so involved in our projects we
forget the time...... which is kind of the goal, really.  We draw from
many pedagogical ideologies including Reggio Emilia, Waldorf and
Montessori.  At our school children are free to play, to be outside
with the chickens, bunnies, or in the garden, free to run, scream,
sing, dance, dress up, hug, read, rest, paint, glue, glitter, explore,
dig, hang from a trapeze, get dirty, get naked, and make as many
messes as they want.  The only No's are things that could hurt
yourself or others.  This is above all a place for children to be free
to explore the world as they wish.

Tuition is as follows, paid monthly:
1 day/wk $160
2 days/wk $320
3 days/wk $480
4 days/wk $600

We accept children ages 3-5.   We look for a long-term commitment when we welcome a new family, as we form a special relationship with each child and don't like to say
goodbye until Kindergarten.

For more information or to schedule a tour Call Erin Cowan, MA, ED at 503 481-5189 or email us at littlehandsgardenschool@gmail.com

Thank you!

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. 

Most of my experience is with wobblers and toddlers (1-3 year olds) as this is my favorite age group.  I do however; have experience with children of all ages. 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 a very fun loving and active nanny.  I believe that children, especially babies, are learning and absorbing things all the time.  I enjoy fostering this learning and natural curiosity by stimulating them with fun and educational activities.   I also enjoy taking them on walks, setting up play dates, taking them to any classes that you might have them signed up in, and other age appropriate outings.

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.

I have a resume, references, and many more details to give.  Please contact me at pwhobear@gmail.com, atyour earliest convenience.   

Thank you,

Wendy

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.

Closed Sunday for Private Parties

Accepting Children 3 years old and Up!!!

The Art Cubby is a creative drop in child care center that focuses on introducing children to the wonderful world of creative artistic expression.

Need only a few hours of child care so you can run a few errands, make a business meeting, squeeze in a workout or even just go shoppoing and grab lunch with a friend. What ever the reason...when you only need child care for a short time...why not bring the kids to a fun & exciting place where they can get messy with creative art projects...instead of just watching TV or playing video games.

We provide children  with an amazing array of recycled and reclaimed art materials that they can investigate and explore to create one-of-a-kind works of art.  Paints, clay, oil pastels, markers and so much more line our shelves, just waiting for a child to discover them.  Our experienced staff supports children as they gain new skills and reach developmental milestones every stroke of the paintbrush.

My daughter just turned 2 and has become obsessed with the idea of going to school. We weren't planning on sending her to preschool until next year, but she's asking again and again and anytime we're out and see a preschool she tries to follow them back to school.

I work from home and am able to watch her full time, so am not looking for traditional daycare--nor do I have the budget for that. I'd love someplace she can go for 2 days or so for half days, so she can have the structure of a school-type situation and meet other kids. I have scoured the web looking for co-ops and other options and haven't really come up with much. Most places take only 3 year olds (and up) or are full day daycare situations. 

Any advice, ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Please feel free to message me at nicmmiller at gmail dot com.

Perhaps you are seeking someone who has over 10 years childcare experience? Or are you looking for someone who is CPR/First Aid Certified and registered in the Oregon  Criminal History? Well look no further. My name is Wendy Lee and I am the person you have been looking for. 

For the past 3 years I have been working on the steps of the Oregon Registry. I currently have over 300 clock hours in ECE (Early Childhood Education ) training. I believe that my experiences along with my training have provided me with strong skills in child care, thus making me the perfect candidate for your family.

In the past I have worked as an assistant in a daycare, a nanny, and a child care attendant. In these positions I had a great deal of responsibility in caring for children. These responsibilities included:

* Supervision of infants, toddlers, and school age children
* Planning and implementing creative activities
* Setting up play dates
* Driving children to and from school and other activities
* Providing a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment
* Attending to physical and emotional needs of children
* Helping children with daily routines such as toileting, dressing, eating, bathing and sleeping
* Housekeeping
* Guiding behavior and social development in a positive manner
* Problem solving skills

I am a very warm and compassionate individual. I feel very comfortable and competent caring for children. I feel that I would make an excellent candidate to be your nanny.

Mrs. Teapot’s Tiny Tots Preschool believes that children learn through play.  We provide a safe, developmentally appropriate environment where children interact with materials, their peers, and adults.  We help young children use the environment to see themselves as capable learners—as individuals who are developing the skills and understandings that will enable them to make sense of the world and to succeed in it.

We are located in a quiet area of the Kenton neighborhood in North Portland, close to the new Kenton Library, shops and the Kenton Park.

My grandson with mild autism would greatly benefit from a part time playgroup or preschool in SE Portland. Highly intelligent, physically adept, and eager to learn. Mom works full time; dad is his caregiver and a new baby is coming.

I am a stay at home mom to my wonderful 19 month old daughter, and a nanny to another wonderful 19 month old girl. I am looking for another child or two to join our little in home group. 

I have plenty of experience working with toddlers. In the past before having my own child, I was employed at CCLC (Children’s Creative Learning Center), and before that, I was employed at Academy for kids. At both pre-schools, I was a toddler teacher. I have also been employed as a nanny for an infant into toddler years. I am CPR certified. 

Our day here at my home (in inner se Portland) consist of reading lots of books, dancing, baking, art, climbing and running, games, puzzles, free play, water play, walks to the park, etc. My home is VERY kid friendly. 

If you have any questions, please free free to email me at

Hello Parents!

I need some advice. Next college term my husband is attending a 1hr class at PSU on Mon, Wed & Fri's from 11:30-12:30. When he's not in class, he's caring for our 5 month old while I work full-time. My office is near the Lloyd Center and thinking that we could avoid the cost of childcare if I could find a place to hangout until he's out of classs. Sure, I could go on a long walk...but I am looking for some more ideas. I seem to remember hearing about an indoor gym in the basement of a church near Lloyd Center but can't find info online. So, i'm looking for suggetions of any baby friendly activities and/or locations within a few miles of Lloyd Center or PSU. Thank you!
