A little bit about me

I live here in Seattle and just returned recently after a 15-month adventure throughout Asia.

I would describe myself as inspiring, adventurous, and positive.

I like working with kids because they are fun and in the moment. They bring such a positive perspective to life and living.

I'm looking for a job that can be where I engage in activities with the kids whether that be outside or in. I would welcome the opportunity to help in other household tasks too.

I started working with kids in 1999 after my 1st nephew was born. I fell in love with taking care of kids. I have been a full and part time nanny, a on call nanny and a family assistant for various families over the years.

In my spare time, I like to hike, write, read, travel to new places, practice yoga, and hang out by the water.

One thing you should know about me is I like to be busy and to be outside. I am an incredible multitasker, dependable, and honest.

My skills include patience, dependability and awareness.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I taught English to kids in Thailand. I presented and taught a 8 week health nutrition course to 4th graders. I did several internships at Kaiser teaching kids about health, yoga, gardening, and healthy eating.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Hiking, beach exploration, playground activity, riding bikes. Forest learning. I like anything pertaining to the outside.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being fun and attentive to what the kids need and say. Meeting them on their level whether that be when they are happy, sad, mad or afraid. I listen and help them be heard and to feel safe. The responsibility being a nanny is huge. I never take it lightly and I do everything in power to make sure all kids in my care are well looked after and safe. To be in contact with the parents about their kids and having open communication about their children is vital.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I teach kids about th empower of tress and how much energy they give us. They think it is strange to hug the trees but after awhile they are ones picking out the ones to hug.. It is so cute to watch them hug the tress. Also, in the car when we play guess "what food is the healthiest". I give them multiple choice answers. And they each have to guess. They love it. It is always my go to in the car. And it is not just limited to food either.
