A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Thea (tay-a). I have worked with children since I was young. Babysitting, a kids club attendant at a local gym and some nannying here and there. I quickly realized my passion for working with kids and graduated with an associates in Early Childhood and special education. For last 8 years I have been teaching kindergarten/preschool at a Montessori school during the school year and leading summer camp with older kids in the summer. I left this job last year when my husband and I welcomed our first child. I now have an energetic 2 year old daughter who loves to make new friends. Ideally I am looking for a position that would allow me to bring her with me.

A little bit about me
I am a mother of three school aged children in Seattle. I have 20 years
experience in infant and child care. I have a desire to take my skills of
raising three wonderful kids and help other families in the early years of
Development. My youngest child had
significant medical needs as an infant through age 4 and I have gained
experience working with medically fragile children as a result. My
experience includes tube feeding, medication dosing, specialized feeding
plans, baby-led weaning, creating consistency in nap schedules,
encouraging creativity, fostering independence, forming community with
other families, introducing children to music, fostering a love of reading,
and encouraging social and emotional skills. I believe it is important for
children to connect with others in their community by engaging in group
activities like library reading times and play groups, and I enjoy being
outdoors as much as possible and encouraging a love of nature.
