Hi, I'm Francis! I am a passionate, career-focused educator offering over 10 years of private nanny experience alongside a decade of professional childcare center experience. I hold an AA in Early Childhood Education and a Specialized Infant and Toddler Certificate from Bellevue College. Additionally, I am fully up to date on all safety, background, and CPR certifications, including Food Handlers and Safe Sleep guidelines. My extensive career spans every age group, allowing me to tailor my care to your family's exact needs: - Infants & Toddlers: I specialize in the Magda Gerber (RIE) philosophy, prioritizing respectful, attentive care that honors a child’s natural pace, emotional expression, and independence. - Preschool & School-Age: I currently serve as a Special Education Para-educator in the Bellevue School District and have previous experience as a Lead Teacher at Bellevue College ELC. I excel at keeping kids active, helping them navigate complex emotions, and building positive habits through gentle but firm boundaries. - Active & Outdoor Fun: I love nature walks and am always excited to take older kids hiking! I thrive on keeping children engaged with the outdoors, exploring local trails, and staying active in a fun, safe environment. - Bonus for Pet Owners: I am an animal lover! I have my own dog, Miko, and am always happy to provide pet sitting or love to your furry family members alongside your children. I love what I do, and I look forward to supporting your family during evenings, weekends, and school breaks!

I grew up in an in-home childcare that my mother ran for about 12 years. I have four younger siblings as well. I started babysitting at 15 for the neighbors and by the time I was 19 I was doing overnights with a 3 month old baby girl, a two year old and ten year old. It was a lot but we did it! I’ve had a few other families over the years but it’s been some time as I am now a hairstylist and have worked in restaurants for the last 10-13 years. I am currently 37 years old and have my own 10 month old little boy who will be with me most of the time. He’s a very good, smart little guy and loves big kids. He has lots of older cousins he loves to play with. If you’re worried about it being too much for me to handle, please don’t. I am with him all day every day, we like to go outside and do things if you are comfortable with that. I am great with children.

Hello and welcome! My name is Chase, and I am an energetic caregiver with over seven years of experience in youth ministry and a lifelong passion for working with children in various capacities. I’ve had the privilege for over 10 years of babysitting for children of all ages, from newborns to pre-teens, and in a variety of settings, from one-on-one care to larger groups. In addition to my babysitting experience, I’m also a practicing attorney, specializing in estate planning, which allows me to bring a unique perspective on family dynamics and the importance of thoughtful planning for the future. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your children while offering you peace of mind. Whether you're in need of regular care, a special evening out, or extra help during busy times, I’m here to support your family with love and expertise!

Throughout my high school years, I babysat regularly for families around my community! I have experience with babies, toddlers, and elementary school age children. Additionally, I’ve worked with children in professional settings. I worked at Pump It Up, Arena Sports as a soccer coach, and coached cheerleading at a local middle school! I am enthusiastic and positive and love getting to know children and their families!
