A little bit about me

I am a mother of two girls (7 & 14). I work at a ministry daycare/preschool right now but looking for a more one on one opportunity. I nannied in high school, worked in church nursery since I was 10, had a small in home daycare for a year, been a lead infant teacher at 2 different daycares (5 years at each center), have done before-after care for Battle Ground elementary, I am recently working with two year olds… but I have worked all ages. Even did CNA for a while. . I really enjoy working with children. I like to watch them learn each day and grow in many ways. I’ve been told I am a soft spoken sweet presence from my bosses and families. I do my best to treat each child as I would my girls at home.

A little bit about me

Hello! I’m a new mom who has always loved working with children, from babysitting nieces and nephews to teaching swim lessons and volunteering with therapeutic horseback riding lessons for children with special needs.

I am interested in becoming a nanny as a way to spend more time with my baby girl while also becoming a part of your family as I fulfill your childcare needs at the same time. I can guarantee that your child(ren) will receive just as much attention as my little one and I truly see this arrangement as a positive to any childcare situation. Not having to worry about my daughter’s childcare needs will help me be more present for your child(ren) and our kiddos will have the added benefit of growing up together, with those important socialization needs and skills being met on both sides.

I would love the opportunity to join your family and look after your child(ren) as if they were my own.
