Hi there! A little about myself! I have enjoyed many years as a caretaker for children of all ages. Most recently I worked with a family with two young children. A 4 yr old boy with Sensory Integration Disorder focusing on kindness, honesty, and self awareness and a 4 month old typically developing girl. Taking time to engage her in age appropriate activities and care for her physical and emotional needs. In the past I held a position in the greater Seattle Metro area as an Educational Assistant at a school for deaf children .Before being brought on at the school, I was a nanny for a infant/toddler girl with unilateral hearing loss. In the past I have worked with teens with ASD as well as infants and toddlers with developmental and motor delays. I am a kind, responsible, fun person and believe in a positive parenting style. I believe Read more in re-enforcing good behavior and building children's confidence through a loving approach. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, we recently celebrated the birth of our first child a boy we named Rowan. I enjoy reading, hiking, love the outdoors and am a very artsy person. Thank you for your interest!
