About Penelope

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm the mother mother of a 12-month-old with a background in both Montessori and Waldorf education. I provide child centered care, help children build self confidence through learning new skills and positive interaction, and provide lots of active age appropriate activities. I am available on a part-time basis with possibility of after hours care. I live close to St. Charles. I'm also happy to provide in home care. I have experience caring for special needs children and really enjoy helping each child meet their potential. I am happy to provide references upon request. I'm on the Oregon State PCA registry which requires an extensive background check. I also do provide pet sitting on occasion and have excellent local references. I've cared for domestic animals, horses and farm animals, as well as some exotics. I'm an animal lover and will happily ensure that your critters are well cared for while you're away!

I've known and hired Penelope before this site was even created. She’s a dependable, strong, prompt, hard worker. She’s also got a great sense of humor, and keeps things light.
