Child Care Provider and Nanny - SAMANTHA V. (User #368248) A child care provider and nanny in Portland, OR 97214

Hi Parents! . I attended Arizona State University for Family and Human Development for the past two years, and now I am a student in the school of Child and Family Studies at Portland State University. I grew up with children all around me to watch from cousins and neighbors to my little sister Alexa. I am one of three sisters; lucky me got to be the middle!

My longest babysitting job was the summer before 10th grade. I watched a one yr old each workday until parents came home around 5. I loved it, but after the summer was over, they had to move closer to family. Obviously I was young then but I have had a great rapport with parents before that experience and since then. Other experiences I have had with children were with the preschool that my high school held. Each day of my 12th grade yr, one of my classes was Pre School where each of us students would rotate and plan meals and lessons for the day. I can handle any temperament a child could throw at me. I myself used to be in my corner for time out everyday. My strategy is a sincere- concerned talk with the child and suggestions for another activity to redirect them. Have a newborn? I am very comfortable with infants and the care they need. I have had extensive experience and education about newborns. I can even help you out while you stay at home during the day watching your baby while you nap or do things around the house.

What I Like To Do as a Babysitter:

-I enjoy tutoring/helping your child/children with their school work. I have had experience tutoring kids in elementary school although that was in junior high. I still and will forever love to help children learn.

-Arts and Crafts- fun learning- I can provide the craft supplies

- Games-board games are fun and outside games . I

- Reading

-making healthy snacks

And more important activities that are fun but also a wonderful learning experience
