A little bit about me

I have a Masters in Teaching from Oregon State University, but at a young 51 years of age, I am ready to retire from teaching high school English (but not from working with children). When my daughter was an infant, I took a break from teaching and provided infant care in my home for one other child. Years later when my toddler son went through cancer, and subsequent nerve damage from the treatment, I became a homeschool teacher for K-8th grade (he is thriving now and close to graduation).
I have literally worked with children all my life. From babysitting, to multiple camp counselor positions, to teaching junior and senior high school, as well as leading vacation Bible school groups, volunteering in the church’s infant room, leading parenting classes, and being a weekly youth leader for preschoolers through highschoolers—over the years I have worked with a myriad of ages and curriculums.
I look forward to this next chapter and the opportunity to hone my "Grandma skills."

Becky B. - Seeking Work in Poulsbo

Live-In Full-Time Nanny Available in Poulsbo, WA: Becky B.

I am passionate about providing loving, compassionate care to children. I have a deep commitment to empowering children to cultivate their independence, flexible thinking, and curiosity through play. Through my various early education and childcare experiences, I have developed an understanding of the needs of different learners, offering creative and effective solutions to their learning capabilities. My intention is to create an environment of trust that encourages autonomy, self-expression, and growth of the individual.

As an outdoor preschool teacher, I have come to cherish the role that nature plays as a teacher for children and believe in playing outside! I also love to guide children in exploring creativity through arts & crafts, storytelling/acting, and dance. It is my goal as a nanny to nurture your child on their learning journey by allowing them to express their interests, needs, and passions while also providing them with guidance and structure.
