Hi I’m a UCSB graduate with a biology degree and i’ve worked in health care for years now (medical assistant, EEG tech, NICU/Birthing Center volunteer)! This has given me opportunities to further develop my attunement skills to others’ needs! I’m an older sister of 2 brothers, so naturally i’ve always grown up looking after them! My babysitting approach can be described as fun, gentle, and friendly. I’ve learned lots about attachment styles since being a part of a kid’s growing up experience is very special to me. I have experience working with newborns to middle schoolers! *unfortunately I am allergic to dogs and am not able to accept jobs with dogs in the home

Hi there! My name is Delaney. Thanks so much for visiting my profile. I’d love to share a little bit about myself. I recently graduated with my Bachelors in Public Health from University of Washington. I currently work as a preschool teacher at a play-based forest school that is child-led and fully outdoors. I have several years of experience as a nanny and babysitter and plan to further my education in Early Childhood Development. I firmly believe that each child deserves to feel safe and deeply cherished. I believe in play, especially in outdoor spaces, as one of the best places for children to build nourishing and sustainable connections with themselves, other children, and the environment around them. I firmly believe in fostering an environment where children feel empowered, trusted, and seen. My childcare philosophies center around mutual respect and understanding through processes that encourage flexible thinking and decision making, rather than judgement, shame, or punishment. I am creative, compassionate, energetic, and warm. I’m engaged and will actively encourage and facilitate games, crafts, and adventures. My goal is to sustain the magic of childhood during such a critical part of each child’s life. As a person and as a childcare provider, I deeply value curiosity, compassion, and reciprocity. I hope to be a person that your child and family finds trust and support in. Please let me know if it sounds like our values align and I could be a good fit for your needs!

Hi everybody! I am a certified math teacher and a boys' basketball coach at a high school in Renton.

Working with kids is something I enjoy doing and is the reason I became a teacher and a coach. I like to spend the time interacting and engaging with the kids. I focus on making sure they have a safe and fun time while in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
