A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Angie! I am a loving, experienced caregiver with over 10 years of hands‑on childcare experience working with children from infancy through age 9. As a stay‑at‑home mom of two boys (7 and 9) and a homeschooling parent, my daily life is rooted in nurturing, teaching, and creating meaningful, structured learning experiences.
Physical activity is an important part of my family’s life — we practice jiu‑jitsu and prioritize fitness — and I love incorporating movement, outdoor play, and healthy habits into the children’s routines.

Recent reference
"Emily is an exceptional caretaker and my son absolutely adores her. She is patient, gentle, and very engaging. Her approach to childcare is exactly what we wanted in a nanny: soft, encouraging, and matching the energy my son needed to be around. Most of all, we appreciated her dedication. She showed up for every pick up on time and was flexible when we had something come up. There was not a single day where Emily was late. My 6 year old is very high energy and Emily encouraged him to play outside for as long as possible. She took him on walks where they picked flowers and visited other neighbors. I would entrust Emily to watch my son again at any time, no questions asked. We are very thankful for her care and can’t recommend her enough to prospective families."

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Emily! I’m 26 years old and was born and raised in Central Washington. I’m someone who loves the outdoors, cooking, animals, and, most of all, spending time with kiddos!
My previous experience as an Orthodontics Treatment Coordinator gave me the opportunity to work closely with children and families, and it really solidified how much I enjoy connecting with and caring for kiddos. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment where kids can be themselves, learn, and have a great time.
I'm hoping to find a wonderful family that I can support and become a trusted part of their routine. I'm dependable, caring, and excited to get to know a new family and help make their days a little easier!

A little bit about me
I bring 10+ years of youth care and enrichment experience, including leadership and direct support in Outdoor School, summer camps, Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCA afterschool programs, public schools, youth arts, and Special Education settings.
I focus on individualized, strengths-based care—especially for children with autism and other neurodivergent needs—using observation, consistency, and empathy to support each child’s growth. I believe learning and development are most meaningful when guided by a child’s interests, curiosity, and pace.
Fun and play are also at the core of my work with kids! I love to act silly, play characters, sing songs, act out scenes, read aloud in character voices, and anything else that helps to positively engage.
I aim to be a steady, positive male role model, creating a safe, encouraging environment where kids feel seen, respected, and empowered to be themselves.
