I understand the challenges of finding the right person to care for your child. It's not just about skills; it's about finding someone whose values align with your own and who creates a positive, nurturing environment. I've been living in Bellingham since 2019, originally from Hawaii. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, creating music and art, cooking, reading, and immersing myself in nature. Describing myself in five words: nurturing, warm, energetic, funny, and creative. With nearly a decade of professional experience and a background in developmental psychology, nutrition, and certified medical assisting, I bring a holistic approach to childcare. I've worked with children of all ages, including those with special needs, and hold a clean record, a WA driver's license, and my own car with a first aid kit. As a parent myself, I comprehend the pressures and responsibilities, emphasizing the importance of trust in lightening the load. My Read more commitment includes providing structure, fun activities, transportation, comprehensive and tasty meal plans, along with clear and consistent communication. I'm here to make your life easier! If you have any questions or would like to chat further, feel free to reach out. I look forward to the possibility of becoming a trusted caregiver for your child.
