Hello families! I am certified in professional childcare and newborn and infant care, approved by the US Nanny Institute. Also, I am CPR qualified for children and babies. I have over ten years of experience with children from 0 to 6 years old. I have experience with nanny sharing and working with multiple families at one time. My love and passion are for raising children to be compassionate, confident, creative, and intelligent. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I have taught all my previous children Spanish and English. I believe my role as a caretaker is to assist children's personal growth to develop healthy relationships with parents and other children. Supporting children in their individual needs is a crucial aspect of a caretaker. I use strategies that model Montessori and RIE philosophies, but I tailor each care strategy to the Parent's wants and the child's needs. Helping children grow Read more into the best versions of themselves is vital. As parents have specific needs tailored for their children, I am happy to accommodate any special requests for diets or social activities the parents may want their child to attend. Location: Centrally located in southern Seattle with its means of transportation. Able to work with families throughout the Seattle area. I am looking for a full-time position staring On September with a starting rate of 29 dollars per hour. Preferred Infant/young toddler care with openness to nanny share. Also open to multiple siblings' care. Looking for a child-focused position but am happy to help clean up after kids. If Parent (s) work from home, prefer to have a separate work area with clear communication about needs/boundaries regarding daily interactions. Great communicator and flexible to whatever needs may arise during my work time. The household is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID vaccinations for adults and children.
