Lake Stevens Special Needs Care

I enjoy caring for infants and little ones and have over 15 years of experience! I have a special passion for preemies, infants, and kiddos with special needs, and have enjoyed developing the skills to help little ones nurture and develop throughout my career as a music therapist. I enjoy traveling across the country as a Navy wife, and am always looking to enhance some of my time caring for little ones!

My name is Alison. I am looking for a nanny position and/or babysitting positions. I am also available for pet sitting/house sitting. I love working with children of any ages, my experience has been with newborns to 14 years old. I enjoy crafting, doing safe kid friendly experiments, playing outdoors and I love to teach. I have my own transportation and I have taken kids on special outings (such as Imagine Kids Museum in Everett, WA). I don't mind household chores, running errands or going shopping. I have also gone on family vacations. I have cared for multiple children at a time, I also have experience with special needs children (a high functioning autistic child), as well as children with special diets and/or allergies. I am a non-smoker and I do not drink or do drugs. I am First Aid and CPR certified.

**Currently working full-time with another family. Please feel free to reach out for date night care!** In my five years as a nanny, I've been able to work with all ages of children (including infants and those with special needs). Some of my favorite things to do with kids are making dinner, going on walks, doing fun crafts, and getting out and about. I'm very comfortable in the kitchen, and am happy to help with laundry and other household tasks as needed. I hold a current Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification and have a clean driving record. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, learning the piano, and photography. I am fluent in Spanish and have also studied German and ASL. I earned my Associate's degree from Everett Community College last year, and am currently pursuing a degree in Vocal Performance from Brigham Young University-Idaho. I have previously held several part-time nanny jobs and am happy to provide you with references upon request. I'm excited to meet you and your kiddos!

I have been working for different companies in the greater Seattle area for 7 yrs now; all in customer service. On the side I took care of children and helped the families create a loving and safe environment for their little ones to thrive. I have worked with special needs children, twins, infants, and pre teens. I am CPR certified and love to assist where I can in the household (I. e. dinner prep, cleaning) I love kids movies, reading books and going to the zoo! It's important to me that the kids have fun while they're being cared for.

I've been babysitting for five years, I've been with infants, toddlers, kids up to 11, and I've worked with special needs kids in high school. Three words I'd use to describe myself are honest, caring and helpful. Open availability, can start asap. Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to ask any questions :)

Hello! I am Josie & am a young college student working towards a degree in Naturopathic Medicine. I love working with kids because they offer so many different perspectives on things you can relate to the bigger picture of life. I have experience taking care of young kids since I was young, being the oldest of 6 younger cousins meant I was often in charge. I also have helped take care of my younger sister due to my mom being sick. I also have experience taking care of kids while they were still in school, making sure they got to school on time. My age range of experience is from 1 years old to 14 years old. I am patient, flexible, and diligent to follow details correctly. I also have experience in working with children and adults with special needs, as well as elderly adults with dementia and other mental health issues. I have reliable transportation, and my only other commitments as of right now are college and my puppy.

I'm the oldest of 5, helped babysit for almost a dozen and a half, first cousins, as well as, multiple second cousins. I helped my aunt for years with her 3 girls, one of which has special needs, as my uncle worked or they went out on a date. While I was there I played with them (in/outdoors), made crafts, made meals, got ready for bed, and many other routine babysitting activities. I did this for not only my aunt but ALL the children I help take care of and watch. Besides family, there are 3 families I semi-regularly babysit for. Two of the families I was referred to from the other. I have been working for others, outside my family, for 6 years. Over the years I have worked with many families and I have loved every experience. I have my NAR, am CPR/AED/BLS and first aid certified.

Growing up with a little sister, and 4 nieces, I often babysat from the age of 12 to now. Between my 200+ community service hours and Sports Medicine and my love for kids, I know that I am not only capable of caring for children, but qualified. I love spending time with kids and doing my part of being a great role model for the kids I babysit. I've watched kids of all ages, and I've also taken care of children with special needs. I am very outgoing and very playful which helps with the bonding of children. I am CPR/AED certified, and trained in first aid. I would be more than happy to meet your children ahead of time so you could decide if I would be a great fit.

I worked part time for two years while in high school caring for twin 8-year-old boys. I helped with homework, cleaned, played games, and took them to parks. A few years later I was an after school nanny for a 12-year-old girl with special needs for the school year. For her I mostly tutored and helped her with homework.

I'm employed full-time, but am looking to sit for a family every once in a while. I just moved to HI from Seattle, where I was working as a children's social worker. I miss interacting with children on a regular basis and would like to build a bond with a family here. I have been caring for kids for 10 years and am able to care for kids of all ages. In my previous line of work I cared for kids with special needs, and am not afraid to learn more.
