Find experienced child care providers in Kalama, WA

I am a practicing pediatric occupational therapist and am offering highly skilled and experienced special needs/medically fragile babysitting and respite care. I've been working with children and adults with special needs for 20 years and have been an occupational therapist for 6 years. My experiences include working with children with autism who have high support needs, children with developmental delay, or children with medical complexity. I am comfortable with a g-tube and other medical equipment, but do not have vent experience (but would be happy to be trained!) While I am not offering occupational therapy intervention while babysitting or providing respite, my background gives me extensive experience in caring for children with any kind of special needs. I also love babysitting for children with no special needs! I have been working with kid for many, years, and always bring plenty of screen-free ideas to any childcare situation. My style of childcare includes lots of interactions, games, and fun memories for your child(ren) while you're away. It's been a few years since I babysat, but I am looking for a side hustle to make some extra cash (gotta pay those student loans!) and also provide babysitting/respite to families who might struggle to find adequate care for their child with special needs. I'm happy to watch their siblings, too! I also worked in summer camps for 10 years and love hanging out with kids of all ages. I am available for overnight care, too.
