A little bit about me
I'm a Seattle native with 15+ years of experience caring for children from infancy to teenagers across preschool, classroom, and nanny settings. I'm experienced in creating structured, engaging days that support learning, independence, and emotional development.
I'm strong with routines, transitions, emotional regulation, and play based activities that keep kids engaged while building language, social, and developmental skills. I'm comfortable managing all aspects of daily care, including meals, naps, potty training, outings, and age appropriate activities.
I have a strong understanding of neurodivergence and believe every child benefits from being met where they are. I focus on consistency, clear boundaries, and helping children feel safe, understood, and confident.
I prioritize safety, developmental growth, and creating an environment where kids can thrive.
Looking forward to connecting!

I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I love keeping children engaged through crafts, outdoor activities, games, reading, and creative play. As a bilingual speaker, I can communicate in both English and Spanish. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, homework assistance, and maintaining daily routines.
I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children in someone’s care, and I strive to provide reliable, attentive, and nurturing support for every family I work with. References and background checks are available upon request.
