Booked by 1 family in Newcastle, WA

Hello, my name is Chloe! I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and recently moved to Seattle after earning my bachelor's degree in Child Development and Family Sciences and a post-baccalaureate in Communication Disorders and Sciences. I am currently pursuing a career in speech-language pathology because I am passionate about supporting children's growth, development, and communication. Working with children has always been the most rewarding part of my life. I currently work with toddlers at a Montessori daycare and have experience working in preschool and K-5 classrooms, including student teaching. I'm patient, dependable, and love incorporating art, imaginative play, and hands-on activities into my work.

Anna Christina $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a youth and adolescent mental health clinician who loves being a mentor using play, art, and activities to help kids grow. I have years of experience working with children of all ages, from kindergarten through adolescence. I have experience as a nanny as well and have worked with adults from age 18 to 65. Pets have been in every part of my life and I love taking care of all animals. Even reptiles! My professional experience at Seattle Children’s Hospital has given me the opportunity to do what I love in childhood mental health work. We engage children in emotional regulation, social development, life skills and crisis intervention using research based interventions that are fun. My favourite activities to do with youth is playing games like uno, crafting, creative writing, and pretend play. I hold a BA in Psychology, am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work, and have certifications in crisis intervention and CPR/BLS. Some of my favourite things to do on my downtime include cooking, baking, reading, knitting, train running, gardening and watching movies. I can’t wait to bring some fun, laughter, and creativity to your family!
