Child Care Provider and Nanny - EMILLY P. (User #631145) A child care provider and nanny in Portland, OR 97232

Hi, my name is Emilly!

I am a mature 18-year-old living in close-in NE Portland and am seeking a regular nanny/babysitting job but am also available for occasional sitting.  My schedule is currently open until I begin school on September 28.  I will be attending Portland State as a Child & Family Studies major with a minor in Elementary Education. I will be going to school mid-day Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and mid-mornings on Friday, at which times I will be unavailable to provide childcare.  I am a fluent Spanish speaker. I have a California Driver's License as of 2007 with a perfect driving record but am sharing a car so it will not always be available for me to use.  I am currently enrolled with the Oregon Criminal History Registry and possess a current Food Handler's Card.  I also have been CPR/First Aid certified twice by the Red Cross and though I am currently not certified, I would be willing to be recertified.

I am looking for a regular nanny/babysitting job during the week. My schedule is currently open Mondays through Sundays until late September, then will change to adjust to my school schedule as mentioned above. I am also available for occasional sitting if necessary.

I love working with children and worked at the PAC's Children's Center, located in Redwood Shores CA, for about a year working with children between the ages of 6 weeks up to 4 years.  I worked as an Assistant Teacher this past summer at Peninsula School in Menlo Park, CA, working with children between the ages of 2 and 8.  I have experience caring for children of all ages ranging from infancy to 13 years, and most recently care for two families with boys between the ages of 6 and 10. I am comfortable watching up to four children at a time, depending on their ages. During care, I enjoy playing board games with children, doing activities outdoors, and making art and science projects. I also enjoy incorportating hobbies of mine with the activities I do with children and value letting kids learn by hands-on involvement.  I feel that nearly every activity can involve learning and be taught through play.
