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

I’m Vanessa, I have been a Union member since 2017 and have been a Board Member
since 2018. Currently, I am the Executive Board Secretary, Union Shop Steward,
Organizing Committee Chair and Merchandise Committee Chair. I own a Certified
Family In Home Child Care in Klamath Falls.
As a Union Leader, I take pride in representing our Licensed Child Care Providers in Oregon. The work child care providers in Oregon do is invaluable and we are so under appreciated. I think it is important that you know, we the Executive Board, care about you and value what you do every day!

Please reach out to me if you need any help.

My name is Alisha (Cox) Hendrickson. I am married and have 5 children and 3 step-children. I
have been working with children and families since 2007. I have a Bachelor of Science in Early
Childhood and I am a step 10 on the Oregon Registry. I began my journey in childcare at a
private preschool in Utah while I was finishing my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood at
Weber State University. Shortly after graduation I moved to Oregon to be closer to family. I
worked as a Lead Teacher for Head Start in Lebanon, OR for two years. After my family grew in
2012, I wanted to be home to raise them and give them the wonderful experiences I was giving
to my Head Start children. I became a small Registered Family provider and then became a
Certified Family Provider in 2016. I will always cherish the opportunity family childcare has given
me to raise my children in the safety and security of my own home. I became a member of the
union shortly after becoming licensed but I didn’t really know anything about what that involved
or what the benefits were. After the massive restrictions and rule changes that came with Covid
and that continue to be pushed by the state, I wanted to get more involved. I became the Valley
Regional Director in February of 2024. My passion for advocacy has only grown since joining
the Board. I have learned so much about the ins and outs of policy and rule making and I am
learning about the complexities of both running a program, participating in the union and
advocating for providers. In this position I am hoping to increase involvement and networking in
my region. I would like our union to be strong and active and I believe that starts with personal
connections.

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.
