Children have always been a part of my life and I love forming long-lasting relationships with the families that I work for. I grew up in Seattle and I was a part-time nanny for five years all throughout college and have experience with all ages including infants, toddlers, and children with disabilities. I'm a trained birth and postpartum doula, and have a background in performance art. I'm knowledgeable and passionate about child development, and encouraging children to learn through play. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children at once and don't mind doing additional household task like pet care, organizing, laundry, or running errands. I have my own kid-friendly car and a clean driving record. I’m looking for a part-time nanny position, but I’m also available for occasional babysitting, date night or backup care. It's important to me that the families I work for be thoughtful and progressive. I enjoy working Read more with families who are warm, open, and above all invested in their children. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you!
