A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Claire! I'm a Seattle native and the youngest of four. My older sister, Emily, has Down Syndrome and severe autism, and growing up I helped care for her. This involved bathing, dressing, feeding, giving medication, and supporting her daily needs.

I currently work as an environmental consultant but am seeking a career change. I'm considering ABA, OT, or speech pathology and hope to gain experience with children beyond my sister. I understand both the challenges and joys of caregiving for a special needs child. I am reminded of moments of frustration like Emily refusing to get off the bus, but also moments of pure happiness, like her swinging on the play set for hours.

I also know how important the right caregiver is. I want to be someone who actively engages your child through outings, community interaction, and life-skill development. While new to nannying, I bring a lifetime of caregiving experience and look forward to supporting your family.

Teesa R. - Seeking Work in Seattle

Part-Time Nanny Available in Seattle, WA: Teesa R.

Hi! My name is Teesa, and I'm 21 years old. I recently moved from Utah to Seattle and I'm looking for a wonderful family to work with while I continue my prerequisites to become a nurse midwife.

My childcare experience comes from teaching, church work, and babysitting. I spent a few years helping lead a children's class at my church with kids ages 3-9, and I previously taught a dance class for ages 6-10. I've also babysat for cousins, family friends, and neighbors, caring for kids of all ages except infants under 1 and teens older than 13. I also worked as a lifeguard, which taught me how to stay calm, alert, and safety-focused.

I'd describe myself as patient, gentle, responsible, and creative. I love crafts, reading, going on walks, and creating fun activities that keep kids engaged. I'm CPR certified and happy to help with tidying, meal prep, or homework. I'm excited to meet a great family and create a safe, positive environment for your kids!
