About Areauna

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi, my name is Areauna! I started working with children at 16, volunteering at a daycare in Lakewood, WA. After earning my bachelor's degree in Biology (Pre-Med) in 2022, I went on to substitute teach for two years in two school districts and also led an ECEAP program at a daycare. I'm now a paraprofessional at a school in Washington and continue to work in childcare during the summers. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and explore. Families can count on me to be reliable, patient, and fully engaged with their children. I love working with children because of their natural curiosity and eagerness to explore-and because they're hilariously honest! I'd describe my personality as compassionate, caring, and energetic. My top skills are patience, providing emotional support, and being attentive.

I’m so glad to share about Areauna and the kind of caregiver she is. We worked together for several years at a daycare center, and I’ve seen firsthand how naturally she connects with kids and makes them feel loved and safe. She has cared for children of all ages (infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids) and treats each one with patience and attention. I remember one toddler who used to cry every morning at drop-off, and she would always take the time to comfort him, talk him through his feelings, and get him engaged in play until he felt better. Before long, he was running into the classroom excited to see her. That’s the kind of impact she has, children trust her and feel secure with her. She also does an amazing job balancing care with structure. Whether she’s rocking a baby to sleep, helping a preschooler with letters, or keeping older kids on task with homework, she knows how to meet them where they are while encouraging growth and independence. Parents have always told me how much they appreciate her updates and the way she communicates. She doesn’t just tell them about nap times or meals, she shares the little moments that matter, like when their child made a new friend or tried something new for the first time. Families always felt at ease knowing their children were with her. Areauna is dependable, caring, and truly has a heart for children. Any family who chooses her as a caregiver will not only have someone responsible and trustworthy, but also someone who will genuinely love and nurture their child.
