I absolutely love being a Nanny ~ for me, there is nothing better than working with individual families and their child(ren! I have worked with children ages birth to 5 for 20 years in a variety of settings and positions and have truly enjoyed nannying for the past 4 years with children ages birth to 12. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and am passionate about best practices and child-centered approaches; these weave throughout all the work and play I do every day! I enjoy creating a collaborative effort with the families I work for and finding that wonderful balance that helps their child(ren) be happy and successful while making their lives easier. I look forward to finding a new long-term, nanny-share arrangement that allows me to provide care for my own toddler twins. I'm always happy to get to know new families with whom I can provide Read more reliable, long-term babysitting and or pet-care services. Please note my Background Check Badge on my profile; because running an enhanced background check through SitterCity is not available for Washington State, I will happily provide that information & a motor vehicle report during the hiring process. Thank you for taking the time to read my Bio ~ I look forward to hearing from you!
