Hello! My name is Gavia, and I am relocating to Portland to attain a doctorate in Occupational Therapy, after living in Alaska for 6+ years. I've worked with a wide variety of children, as well as older folks - from teaching STEAM lessons in remote Alaska Native villages, to leading outdoor preschool in my own front yard, to being a live-in-nanny and eldercare provider. I've supported elementary through high school students with learning and behavior challenges, and individuals nearing the end of their lives. I strive to recognize different types of intelligence, ways of learning, and seeing the world. I want to encourage and amplify what it is that makes each individual significant and special. I'm hoping to find a family with children of any age who I can support in being its best self, while I become mine. I enjoy cooking and light housework, and have a clean driving record. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Gavia is an excellent care giver. She treats children with kindness and sees the entire child. She believes all children are good inside and treats any challenge as a learning opportunity. Her patience, creativity and light heartedness make it easy for children to connect, learn, and play together. I trust Gavia wholeheartedly. Any family would be lucky to invite her into their home.
