Hi! Nice to internet me you. A little about me, I am a 40 year old non traditional student. I’m a freshman at PCC and I have a career in food and beverage, I’m studying law so that I can be a victims advocate someday! I am single with no children at home. I have a small apartment and a reliable car.I raised one daughter by myself, she was born 21 years ago! I also have provided a kinship home and eventually took guardianship for my niece and nephew. After 7 years I’m excited that they got to go home to their healthy mom.I love kids and adventures. Waterfalls, museums, arcades, and so many community events. I do not smoke or drink, I have a clean background and dmv record. I am clean and organized. I follow routines very well with love, care, and thoughtfulness ok for those who may need help.

Whether it's one-on-one with your first or the whole Brady Bunch, I would love to collaborate with parents to share my passion for the outdoors, dinosaurs, rocks, arts and crafts, and education with their children, regardless of age because every developmental stage and milestone is an important one.In the homes of close friends and family or nonprofit organizations, I carry my passion and dedication to fostering and maintaining a safe and fun-loving environment wherever I go. I've worked in a variety of roles dedicated to supporting childhood development. I have been a babysitter, lifeguard, swim instructor, nanny, emergency childhood care provider, and big sister.I moved to the Portland area to attend Lewis & Clark College, where I am majoring in International Affairs and Political Economy, and have been here for a little over a year. Before that, I had the opportunity to live in West Yellowstone, Yellowstone National Park, Idaho, and Junction City just south of Corvallis. My utmost priority is your child's safety, both physically and mentally. Over time, I have gone through training and certification for: CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)AED (Automated External Defibrillator) BLS (Basic Life Support) Red Cross (Lifeguard, Swim Instructor) Although I am not up-to-date on all of the certifications above, having completed the training has proven to be a valuable asset in every aspect of life. Additionally, I have completed training and attended seminars specific to TIO (Trauma-Informed Care), enabling me to ensure that the mental health and well-being of children are not only considered but also prioritized.
