Experienced, Compassionate Care Hi there! My name is Hira (pronounced Haira), and I’m a full-time single parent of two little girls, aged 2 and 3, both in school. I'm in the final years of my doctorate in naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University and am CPR and AED certified. I live in Seattle, close to Seattle Children’s Hospital. Rest assured, my children have daycare and night care arrangements, so they will not be accompanying me unless you specifically request it for playdate. About Me: I have my own vehicle and am flexible with last-minute requests. A fantastic cook who’s great with all types of pets. Comfortable with kids of all ages (infants to teens). Experience with diverse families and backgrounds, and I’m “immune to messes!” I love engaging with children wholeheartedly through play and learning. Background Highlights: Substitute teacher at the Waldorf School in Seattle (elementary level). 5+ years of experience Read more as a teacher. Worked in AmeriCorps as a middle school life skills coach with refugee students. Tutored 7th-8th graders in Houston and 3rd-grade math. Mental health camp counselor for Palestinian and Syrian refugee children. Experience working with children with autism, Down syndrome, SPD, and ADHD. Rates: 1 Child: $25/hour 2 Children: $27/hour 3 Children: $30/hour Minimum booking: 2 hours Preferably within 10 miles of 98115 (additional compensation required beyond that). Affordable Sliding Scale for low-income families ($10-15/hour). MESSAGE ME HERE for availability and interview set up – I don’t mind last-minute requests and will let you know if I’m available. Looking forward to caring for your children!
