Stacie $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Stacie and I am looking forward to meeting you and your family. I am currently an outdoor preschool teacher during the week but I am looking to work some occasional weekends or week night evenings to make a little extra money to help pay some extra bills. I received my teaching degree and a special education degree from Central Washington University many years ago but I continue to put it to good use everyday working with my preschool students. I consider myself a life long learner and I am continually learning new information about early childhood development, plants, cooking, sewing and gardening. My experience working with children spans 25+ years. My introduction to teaching was in high school when I worked at a Montessori Preschool. During my college education at Central Washington University, I worked with developmentally delayed adults who lived in the community and needed 24 hour support. I also lived with a female student who was a paraplegic but could still attend classes and who lived a very active life with the use of her electric wheelchair. My job was to assist her with meals, baths, bathroom breaks and all the little things in between. After college I had a wonderful time being the Education Director at the Boys and Girls Club in Bellevue for two years. After moving to Snohomish my daughter began attending the Snohomish Coop Preschool. I naturally began assisting my daughter’s preschool teacher and eventually was hired to teach due to the teacher getting injured in an accident. After finishing teaching at the Snohomish Coop preschool I was hired on at the Marysville Coop Preschool where I worked 3 years. From there I was hired at the Snohomish School District to teach in the Developmental Preschool program. I spent 3 years with the program and then switched to full time subbing for the Snohomish School District. Once my daughter graduated from the Snohomish School District I decided to try working with older adults living in adult family homes. I worked with a start up company that was hired by the adult family homes to go and provide the residents with music activities and art projects that would be interesting and stimulating for the residents. Eventually, I made my way back to teaching preschool but this time it was out in the forest. As you can see I enjoy working with people of all ages and abilities. There are so many people to meet and so many things to learn!

Hi! My name is Morgan, and I have over 3 years of experience working with children ranging from 6 weeks old to middle school age. I truly love working with kids and watching them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, nurturing environment. I currently work in ABA as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I support children’s social, emotional, and behavioral development using evidence-based strategies. I am also in college working toward my bachelor’s degree in Special Education and my associate degree in Early Childhood Education. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Throughout my childcare experience, I have created lesson plans, maintained clean and organized spaces, and built positive, trusting relationships with children and families. I bring patience, creativity, and reliability to every job. I would love the opportunity to care for your child(ren)! Please feel free to message me with any questions. Thank you, Morgan
