About Bella

Hi there! My name is Bella. I moved to Oregon from southern California 12 years ago to begin graduate school in clinical psychology, and fell so in love with this gorgeous state, I decided not to leave! I currently work full time as a psychologist but will be re-locating to New Zealand for employment in fall 2023. I decided to return to care. com as an extra cushion as I prepare for my international move. I have ample experience babysitting and working with children in more formal settings. For example, I have previously worked at the Children's hospital of Orange County where I ran the playroom in the oncology department, and the Children's Relief Nursery in Portland where I was able to work with at-risk children. I am a big believer of anything that encourages mental, emotional, and physical growth. I consider myself to be very loving, patient, and responsible. In my spare time, I enjoy baking, painting, traveling, and hanging with my sweet miniature goldendoodle, Teddy.
