I am 23 years old and a recent graduate of Western Washington University. I earned my bachelors degree in Human Services, and plan to eventually attend graduate school for clinical psychology. My long term goal is to be a counselor for children and families specializing in grief and bereavement. I have several years of experience working as a nanny in my hometown. While attending Western, I spent two years working at Generations Early Learning and Family Center here in Bellingham, with children ranging from 6 months-PreK age. I strongly believe that children function best in environments where they consistently feel loved, accepted, and heard. My authentic nature, sense of humor, and intuitive abilities provide children with a platform for learning, developing confidence, and having fun. Above all else, I am a lover of children, animals, and the outdoors- and look forward to future opportunities to explore the above with new Read more families. Have been employed as a nanny for multiple families in the past. I've also grown up as the "designated babysitter" within my large extended family. Have completed First Aid/CPR in addition to other childcare trainings held by my employer. Have completed the 30 hour STARS Washington State Childcare Online Training Course
