Experience: 10 yrs
I began working with children 18 years ago as a babysitter for a family with 3 children, this lasted 5 years before I went to college and started teaching. During college I started working for a non-profit relief nursery called Family Building Blocks as a Teacher interventionist, working with both children and their families. I was a teacher for the organization for 7 years before being promoted to Classroom Supervisor. As a supervisor I oversaw the work of up to 8 classroom teachers. I was a supervisor for a little over a year before resigning from my position in March of last year to pursue other interests, baking. As a teacher, I worked with infants as young as 6 weeks to 5 years of age. In November of last year, my Husband was hired at so we relocated to the Seattle area. I have a huge passion and love for working with children, especially infants and toddlers. I now would love the opportunity to provide high quality, individual care for a local family.
She's very thoughtful and very attentive to the needs of the families she works with, she is very creative and finds fun ways to interact with children, be it art, reading, teaching, and singing. My children love her, and to this day, they still are very fond of her, even though one of them is an adult now. As a parent I highly recommend her, I trust her explicitly, and you will not be disappointed if you hire her.
