I have babysat for several families, including caring for a 2-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy occasionally throughout 2023, as well as a 4-year-old boy consistently for about a year in 2019. Most of my babysitting responsibilities have included preparing meals and snacks, supervising playtime, and engaging activities.From 2017 to 2022, I volunteered with The Friendship Circle of Washington on Mercer Island, where I worked with children with special needs. This past year I worked at Friendship Circle and facilitated social and recreational activities for children and teens with special needs, providing supervision and individualized support to promote safety, inclusion, and positive interactions. This past year I also worked as a Youth Group Advisor Mentor and would supervise high school students in grades 8-12 by fostering community through educational, social, and programming while guiding the teen leadership board.In 2024, I volunteered at Montague Elementary School, where I would engage with students during recess and help create a positive, inclusive space for play and social interaction.

Hello! Iβm an energetic, fun, and loving sitter/nanny with many years of experience working with infants, toddlers, children, teens, and young adults across various capacities such as nannying, within after school programs, residential programs, regular school day teaching, special needs therapist, pediatric palliative care, and general childcare provider. I'm easygoing, patient, friendly, creative, reliable, responsible, and a great communicator with parents regarding their children. I'm happy to work with dogs in the household, but am allergic to cats. I kindly ask that you please advise if anyone in the household has been displaying cold or covid related symptoms within the last 24 hours and I will do the same. Similarly, if your child has challenges, I ask that you please be transparent about those challenges from the beginning rather than waiting for the challenges to become apparent after arranging care.Please be considerate, respectful, and professional with booking as inconsiderate care seekers can cause great inconvenience. For cancellations that occur with less than 24 hours notice, cancellation payment will be requested. For recurring jobs, cancellation pay will be requested if needing to cancel with less than 2 weeks notice. Should your care session end early, please pay for the time booked, same for sessions that go past the scheduled time. For in person meetings or interviews, a paid hour of time will be requested. Please advise in advance regarding parking restrictions in your neighborhood, if any. I look forward to connecting with you and your family!
