    President and Steward
    Sabi Velasco

    Email:

    Phone:
    971-998-2730

    My name is Sabi Velasco and I am originally from Mexico from the state of Oaxaca. I have 5 children and I am proud to have a large family. I have more than 26 years working in early education. In 2012 I became a member of local 132 with our childcare provider union. I have more than 12 years running my child care program. One of the reasons I am part of this field is because today's children need socio-emotional help and being in my program we can work with the family and the children. When children are emotionally regulated they are successful in school and in their lives. One of the main reasons I am on the board is so that all providers from all different languages have representation and have a voice each and every one of us is the union should be heard.


    1st Vice President
    Mandy Johnson


    My name is Mandy Johnson, and I reside in Pleasant Hill, Oregon. As a mother of eight, I have devoted my professional career to family child care since 2001. I am proud to operate Silly Billies Together, a five-star rated Certified Family program located in rural Lane County, which also serves as a Preschool Promise in-home site. Driven by a passion for collaborative learning, I am committed to supporting children, families, and fellow providers.

    I hold a Step 10 certification from the Oregon Registry, along with a Parent Educator 1 certification from OPEC. Additionally, I possess the ORIMHA Endorsement for Culturally Sensitive, Relationship-Focused Practices that Promote Infant Mental Health (IMH-E®). My professional experience includes active participation on Rules Advisory Committees, where I advocate for in-home providers and promote changes that truly reflect the dedication and efforts of those of us working in home programs daily.

    Having faced numerous challenges in establishing and maintaining my program, I decided to join the union board to be a voice for change and to address the concerns I hear from fellow providers. Together with many dedicated providers, I recognize the hard work we invest each day, which is why I am honored to serve as the 1st Vice President of Local Union 132.




    2nd Vice President
    Amber Oldridge


    provider in Grants Pass,Oregon. I am originally from Sacramento, California, I began my career in healthcare in 2006. Since second grade, I have always wanted to work with children. I initially aimed to become a school teacher, but due to a speech impediment, I chose to focus on childcare instead. I started as a teacher's aide and worked my way up to a lead teacher then, lastly a assistant director at a center. In December 2016, I moved to Oregon and took a break from working with children . However, I quickly realized how much I missed it. This inspired me to buy a house and establish my own program, Home from Home Family Preschool and Childcare. About a year ago, I joined the union as second vice president, and while I have much more to learn, I have already gained valuable knowledge. I am proud to be part of Local 132, where I work with an amazing group of women and men dedicated to fighting for equality, fairness, and what is right for all providers. I love that, despite our diverse backgrounds—whether ethnic, linguistic, or economic—we come together to collaborate and advocate for all childcare providers.


    Local Treasurer, Chief Union Steward, Local Union Rep and Council Independent Sector VP
    Anneliese Sheahan

    Phone:
    971-204-9110

    Anneliese Sheahan, Licensed Family CF Child Care Gladstone, OR. Specializing in infant and toddler care for children under 2. In the early childhood field since 1994. Graduate of UWSP. Currently pursuing my Juris Doctorate at Purdue Global (yes, that same Purdue University just online). I opened my first licensed family child care in 2002. Advocate at the state and federal level since 2004. I moved to Oregon in March of 2016, and was the staff rep for the local for just over 3 years before transitioning back into owning a licensed family child care.

    My passion is helping family child care providers -- any way I can! Please give me a call anytime -- I am always here to chat, to assist, to provide training, to lend an empathetic ear and do whatever I can for my fellow family child care providers.

    I have been a child care union member of CCPT in Wisconsin and Oregon since 2005. I believe a strong child care union makes a significant impact in our lives, our businesses and our child care industry -- it is because we have a strong child care union that we have a strong family child care workforce. Come join me on FB at OCCPT -- our public page. 

    New for 2023 -- if you are facing a DELC or DPU action against you or your license, I am your local union representative and can lay-litigate an administrative (aka Contested Case) hearing for you -- with legal standing to be your legally recognized representative. Please reach out and contact me if you need our help. I am not an attorney and cannot give legal advice but I will fight for you, your reputation, your business, your staff, and your clients. We stand together -- you don't have to go it alone. While an attorney knows the law, they don't know our child care system, they likely don't know administrative laws, and they won't give you the time, attention, and communication you deserve. We support you, the whole you -- not just your case. <3

    Eastern Regional Director
    Alexia Nice


    My name is Alexia Nice, I go by Lexy. I am a mother to three children and I got into doing childcare so that I could spend more time with my own children and be able to make my schedule so that I could be more involved in all things my children do. I started as a Registered Child Care as a single mom in 2018 then a year later became Certified. I got my bachelors in Early Childhood Education in 2021. My husband got his bachelors in accounting then too and we walked at our college graduation together. We now own and operate a Certified Child Care together in Eastern Oregon. I’m also a Preschool Promise Provider, I accept ERDC and I’m apart of the USDA food program. Where I know that Preschool Promise and USDA food program isn’t for everyone, I appreciate my own role in both.

    4155832163

    Hi, my name is Julie Anderson.  I have four children and 7 grandchildren and have worked with children since 1989.  I was the director of a parent participation preschool for 20 years.  My current CF program in SE Portland is centered on helping families to form community with each other with a focus on social-emotional learning and the arts.  I am passionate about helping other child care providers because I would not be where I am today without the guidance and mentorship from other providers when I was first starting out. I was thrilled to join Local 132 when I learned about its existence and have been an active member ever since!  


    North Central Regional Director (not Multnomah County)
    Zack Wolchesky

    Email:

    Phone:
    971-356-5167

    My name is Zack. I'm located in Clackamas County. It's very hard being a man in the child care field. We have all the same issues as other family child care providers but on top of that we face social stigma and always the questions about why we are in child care. I'm here on our board to break down those social stereotypes and stand up for men in child care. I have 3 children of my own plus my son in-law. They all mooch off of me but I have them all working for me in my child care. I first joined CCPT in Wisconsin in 2007. I joined CCPT in Oregon in 2019. Please reach out to me from anywhere in the state -- the counties I represent (with Julie Anderson) are Multnomah, Clackamas, Wasco, Hood, and Gilliam. Please let me know if you would like to have a local meeting in your county/city, have a training, have a Zoom meeting, or anything else we can do for our members in Oregon.

    Phone:
    5039903273

    Hello, my name is Autumn David I have been a child care provider since 1996. I run a certified child care home in Salem, Oregon. In 2003, I received my Associates of Applied Science degree in Criminal Justice. I thought I would want to go into the Criminal Justice field after graduation but was mentored by another provider to grow my child care business. At that time, I decided this would be my long-time career. I have also received step 10 in the Oregon registry.

    I have enjoyed being a provider because I am able to be with my child care children as well as being able to have my grandchildren in care. I have a lovely husband, four children and seven grandchildren. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, traveling and going to the family sporting events. My husband is from the Pacific Islands and we do a lot of cultural events within the Pacific Island community.  

    I am currently a steward for AFSCME Local 132 Child Care Providers Together. I am a past President of the local for ten years. I attend to many State level meetings to have the voice for my fellow providers and keep up to date as to what is going on in our field. I have mentored many providers to grow their business and grow their professionalism. My program is 5 Star Spark rated and a Preschool Promise site. I have an Oregon Registry step 10, a Director Credential and am a Master Trainer for providers.
