A little bit about me

I love being in nature and showing little humans all the joyous wonders there are to discover. I’m also an artist so expect some wonderful works of art as well. It’s important to me to let kids be kids and be weird, silly, laugh, explore, etc.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Taya (Tay-uh) and I have been working as a swim instructor and lifeguard for about a year and a half. I have worked with age groups of 1 1/2 y/o-12 y/o. I usually work pretty well with kids aged 2-8 as I can easily get them to warm up to me pretty fast. Some of my strong suits are my communication, my certifications, and my sense of understanding. Some of my weaknesses are my forgetfulness, procrastination, and my avoidance of conflict but i can’t tell assure you that these weaknesses won’t majorly affect my work ethic. I am currently in Highschool and plan to go to school to become an elementary teacher after I graduate so not only would this give me great experience with children, it will help me understand them as people better.

A little bit about me

Hello! My Name is Lisanne- I graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with 3 B.A. degrees: Education, English, and History. I also have a minor in Psychology. After teaching high school for the better part of 20 years, I was a nanny for 3 years for a family in University Place. They had 2 children when I started, a 14 year old, and an 18 month old. 2 years into my nannying, they had another baby whom I watched as well. I am a natural teacher, and love making everyday moments teachable; for example: while on a walk, talking about the colors we see, the types of trees, plants, flowers, and counting whatever we choose to focus on. I love children of all ages and being a Nanny is so satisfying for me. I hope to have the opportunity to meet with you and see if we are a good fit! Please contact me for a Resume', example daily activities, and my philosophy statement.
