More About Me
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
My favorite activities to facilitate are those that stimulate both the mind and body.
With toddlers, I enjoy focusing on sensory activities that encourage dialogue and skill development. This might include things like finger painting, which promotes hand-eye coordination and muscle control while also providing tactile input to identify and discuss (e.g., “The paint feels cold on our hands. It’s wet. We’ll wash our hands when the paint gets sticky, before it dries.”). This kind of shared-experience dialogue is fundamental for language comprehension and speech development. With preschool and early school-aged children, I find dancing, singing, playing pretend, and simply getting energy out to be especially rewarding. A lot of change, learning, and discovery happens at this age; it’s great to let their brains rest and their bodies move!
Truly, with all children, my favorite activity is their favorite activity. They know what they enjoy, so I strive to support and encourage any interests!

The most important part about being a nanny...
As a nanny, I find it important to inquire and uphold each individual family's values, expectations, and parenting style. Maintaining flexibility, adaptability, and adherence is paramount in curating an environment for children that is safe, stable, and familiar to them. It is within such an environment that children can truly excel in education, social emotional growth, and have a truly spectacular childhood.

Babysitter Available in Bellingham, WA: Loren K.
Hi! My name is Loren, and I'm a second year human services major at WWU, with a specific interest in pursuing a career related to youth. While achieving my associate degree, I studied with a focus in Early Childhood Education, so I have a strong foundation in early learning principles!
I've loved being around kids my whole life. I especially love working with babies and toddlers, but I'd love to get to know a kiddo of any age :)
Outside of nannying, I spend my time hanging out with friends, going to concerts, reading, and working on photography.
I'm a very active person, I love getting outside and going to the gym. I'd love to find some kiddos that would like to go on adventures around Bellingham; check out local parks and all the other fun stuff to do around town! :)
I live near the Western campus, and don't have a car at the moment, so I'm hopefully looking for a family that's within walking distance from campus area, or accessible by public transportation!
