Hi there! I am a recent college graduate from Washington State University with a BA in Earth and Environmental Sciences. I am outgoing, upbeat, and love spending time outdoors. I would also describe myself as organized, patient, and dependable. I love children and hope to support them as they grow and learn, I'm determined to provide high quality care to give families peace of mind while under my supervision. With experience nannying, babysitting and preschool teaching I have the enthusiasm and skills you can trust.

A bit about my background: I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with specialized coursework in early childhood development. I’ve also spent 2 years working in an elementary school with special needs and neurodivergent children—and I loved it. I’m passionate about supporting kids’ emotional and developmental growth, and I bring a calm, playful, and supportive energy to my work. In addition to my childcare experience, I also worked as a 911 dispatcher for a year, which taught me how to stay calm and problem-solve quickly in high-pressure situations. I carry that same steady presence into my work with children and families. Before starting my master’s program in social work (child development focus), I’m hoping to find a great family or two to help care for their littles with love and intention. Some of the areas I help with include: • Routines (morning, nap, bedtime) • Infant care: diapering, bottle feeding, introducing solids • Simple meal prep for kids • Tidying play areas & child-related laundry • Creative play, outdoor adventures, and walks • Reading together & educational play • Homework assistance and school support CPR/BLS certified (infant, child, adult) Fully vaccinated Reliable transportation, clean driving record, and background check
