Hi! I am an experienced, trained, and responsible nanny seeking date night care or temporary care to fill gaps of care for othe families. My prices vary depending on the level of care and how many children. I would love to discuss further with you. A little about myself, I am currently a full time special needs, infant care, and toddler nanny for a family with three children. I have done in home childcare for many years and owned a licensed daycare, as well as having STARS training. I've been background checked and fingerprinted by WA state for childcare, and am also a medical assistant. I am reliable, energetic, nurturing, and attentive. I have 4 children of my own, one of which is special needs. I love to have fun with the kiddos and guide them in the journey learning about the world. Outdoor time is a must, weather permitting, Read more and play lots of physically geared games and entertainment for the kiddos such as dancing, etc. We read lots of books and study the world through the descriptions and pictures in the many tales. We touch on introducing foreign languages, such as Spanish, German, and ASL. Being active in their playtime and attentive to their needs and cues helps the bonding necessary for a child to feel happy with their caregiver. I strive to do exactly that. Please contact me to chat and see of we may be a match. :)
