About MJ

Experience: 9 yrs

Hello, my name is MJ (they/them), and I'm excited to be considered for your care needs! ABOUT ME I'm a 35-year-old, nonbinary human from Texas. I moved to PDX after a stint in grad school at NYU. I followed my passions into community organizing. Now my passions shifted toward building a just world through strong, caring relationships, which is why you find me here Per a friend survey, I am caring, attentive, creative, playful, adaptable, and "FULL OF WHIMSY AND MAGIC" (that's a direct quote) CHILDCARE EXPERIENCE I total 8 years of childcare experience, ages from 3m-13yo, through private nannying and formal childcare facilities. With every kiddo, I tailor activities, including artistic, educational, and physical play, in order to attune to their individual needs. I like to bring in my knowledge of consent-based and trauma-informed practices, responsive parenting, coaching and mediation to support kids in their critical thinking and social-emotional skills appropriate for their age
