About Renee

Hello, My name is Ren, I am a 23-year-old Portland State student majoring in Anthropology. In my free time I love to sew, read and line dance with friends I started working with kids in 2012 as a jr camp consoler at peninsula park community center and neighborhood babysitting jobs, and was a nanny for a year before college. I have experience with ages 3-12, but am open to working with new age groups. I like working with kids because it's a job where you get to do many different things, and it's rarely the same twice. I also love the aspect of getting to play and have fun while at work. One thing you should know about me is I find good communication essential with all families I work with! I want to know what is the most helpful for you. My skills include having first aid training and starting a wilderness first responding course soon. I am great at helping work through hard emotions with kiddos, and love to find activities that will fit what your kids enjoy doing.
