Hello! I have had the joy of helping children grow for over 20 years! I back up my experience with specialized newborn training to help your infant get their sleep and nutritional needs met. I adore babies, and have experience independently caring for premature twin newborns. I love working with parents to create an environment of safety, love, learning, and fun for children. I can help soothe your little baby, feed, change diapers, do tummy time, massage, bathe, monitor milestones, read stories, sing, and play. I help parents establish a feeding, sleeping, and waking schedule for when am and am not present, as well as overnight, to help babies learn to sleep through the night. I track feeding, sleeping, and diapering and communicate this to parents, via apps or written on paper. I am experienced, calm, patient, friendly, and excited about spending time with your baby. In order to focus Read more on children and offer the best childcare I am happy to help out with household tasks related to children only. For example, I will happily wash and fold your baby's laundry but not parents' laundry. I will help out with mother's items relating to baby, like pumping equipment. My ideal position will be about 5 hours/day 3 days/week so that I will have time to take care of my hobby farm in Carnation. I have flexibility for the right family, my job satisfaction is a high priority in my life so if you have different needs contact me anyway and we'll see if other areas match up well enough to happily compromise. I am vaccinated against covid, flu, whooping cough, ect, and will continue to maintain my vaccinations. Your family's safety is my priority. Let's talk, how can I help your family?
