Hello! My name is Isau (E-ss-ow) Love August, I am 19 years old and a Clinical Psych major at Seattle Pacific. I hope to be a child therapist. I currently am a full-time pre-k teacher at Northgate KinderCare in Shoreline, but because of COVID I would like something of lower risk. I have 4+ years experience working with and caring for children, from newborns to 13 year olds. Being a student myself during this time, I understand the struggle of online school during this time. I have experience aiding children with their online school. and the patience for it. I have been a teaching assistant for the University of Washington-Seattle's RC Young Scholars program for 3+ years, last summer we transitioned into online remote learning and I have learned a lot from that term (how to keep children on task & motivated, patience, strengthened tech skills).

Sabrina Sanchez

Seattle$18/hr | < 1 yr experience

My name is Sabrina, I absolutely love kids and have been babysitting for a long time but now I want to put all my time into taking care of kids, which is why I want to be a nanny, my mom was one and I want to follow in her foot steps. I love musical theatre and the arts, I think its important to use that while watching and teaching children. I believe in using calm strategies with kids and using positive terms for example getting eye level with them and saying please walk instead of no runny and have them repeat it to me. I love cooking and doing outdoor activities like picnics.
