A little bit about me

I am passionate about prioritizing connection first! I love getting to know kids and their families, learning what works for them and where potential areas of growth lie. Structure and routine are the building blocks to providing safety for kids, with a little wiggle room for life to guide the way. I see behavior as a language that kids use to communicate a need and I enjoy getting to find ways to help them meet that need safely. Additionally, I love to incorporate art, music, science, and reading into our day to day, since there is so much to learn within this!

A little bit about me

Hi! I am an Eastern Washington University student-athlete alumni. I have an extensive fitness background. I love teaching activities that build developmental skills. I began college in 2014 and graduated in 2018. I am ambitious, and I would call myself a go-getter. My plan is to help people in need, as much as I possibly can. I plan to continue to be someone people can count on for a helping hand, and someone who can bring a smile to someone's face. During my experience of being a Nanny, I received great reviews of being dependable, clean, outgoing, and having excellent safety precautions. I am friendly with pets too. I have two cats of my own, and have owned various types of pets in my life. I love to inspire and motivate people. When I went to Daycares & Boys and Girls Clubs, I was recognized for my phenomenal leadership skills. I would love to help parents and their children, to have a positive experience with a reliable, respectful, and down-to-earth Nanny.
