INFANT CARE WITH NANNY CLAIRVETTA
ABOUT NANNY CLAIRVETTA
One Step Ahead
I provide loving care out of my home in the heart of St. Johns. With a specialty in infants and young toddlers, I care for a small ratio of kiddos and have 20+ years of experience as a nanny. My typical offerings are from Mon - Wed 8am- 4:45pm & Thurs 8am- 4:30pm but I can be more flexible with dates and times as needed. I offer drop in care as well.
It's important for babies to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them through play and reading. Once they leave my care, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.
MY MISSION
Quality Child Care
I believe that children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially and creatively. By building on each child’s strengths, interests and curiosities, I guide each child to explore the world around them as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships.

Our baby girl has been in Clairvetta's care 3 days / week since she was 3 months old, and we love Clairvetta. She may be, quite honestly, the most caring person I have ever met. She provides amazing care at reasonable rates, and I highly recommend her to any new parents in North Portland.
Jessie, St. Johns parent
I can't recommend Clairvetta highly enough! She came highly recommended on NextDoor, and I am so thrilled we discovered this gem in our neighborhood. Clairvetta has a gift for caring for babies-- we loved having our little guy in her care.
Emily, St. Johns parent
We had a great experience working with Clairvetta. She was flexible when we needed to adjust drop off and pick up times, and has been awesome with drop-in care. Both of our kids thrived with her support and guidance, and it was a huge relief knowing they were in good hands with her.
