About Italia

Hi, I'm Italia and I'm a fun, reliable, and caring person who's passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported. I am a full time student at Portland State University. I've spent the last six years working with children in all kinds of settings - as a babysitter, paraeducator, direct support professional, in-home care aide, and even as a juvenile detention officer. Those experiences have taught me how to balance structure with fun, keep routines running smoothly, and handle any situation with patience and understanding. I'm also a U. S. Army veteran, so being on time, dependable, and organized is second nature to me. I love creating activities that are both educational and exciting for kiddos whether it's crafts, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework. If you're looking for someone who's responsible, upbeat, and great at connecting with kids, I'd love to help your family out!
