About Julia

Hello! I have always known that early childhood education is what I want to do. I was inspired by my mother who ran a home daycare when I was a child, and have been babysitting and volunteering with children of all ages since I was a teenager. I began working with kids in a summer camp and after school program when I turned 16, working with kids from ages 5-12. When I graduated high school I started working as a preschool teacher and completed my CDA (Child Development Associate). I worked as a teacher for 4 years and absolutely adored it before transitioning into my current role today. I now work in a childcare center in Portland as the Assistant Director, working with children ages 0-5. I am CPR and first aid certified and complete 30 hours of training on child development and early learning each year as I work in a childcare center. I would describe myself as a very patient, creative, and empathetic caregiver and I would love to help you with your childcare needs!
