I have been working with children of all ages for over three decades. Most recently, I've been a nanny for preschoolers ages 3 to 5 as well as a household manager. In addition to being the mother of a college grad, I was formerly a live-in nanny for premature twins and a three-year-old. As the oldest of five siblings, I have also taken care of my 12 nieces and nephews on occasion over the years, in addition to working as a part-time nanny and babysitting for neighbors and friends. I enjoy hiking, biking, and yard work--I love to spend time outdoors. With a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, I am passionate about children's literacy. I recently relocated from Colorado to Seattle where I grew up. As a part-time college English instructor, I am looking for a temporary full-time position during the summer and part-time during the school year.
