I have worked in school districts for 10 years plus. Most of it was with special education, children. For the last five years, I’ve taken care of my very sick husband.. He goes to Dialysis three times a week of which I have already put into the hours I can work and he also has short-term memory loss. I have a great deal of patience and empathy for those that are younger and those that may have minor mental and emotional problems. I take very seriously what it is that I do. I do not consider these individuals as lesser people. I especially love children. I have 10 grandchildren, and I taught all of them how to swim. I was a major part in their lives and as a result of my support as has been told to me by my children, my grandchildren are stable and productive individuals in the society. But I mostly love and enjoy little one’s handicapped or not.
Hello, my name is Manuela, I’m from Colombia and I was an au pair for 2 years. I’m offering childcare. I care 3 beautiful Children in my au pair experience, (1.5 yo, 3 yo, 5 yo) I’m IQ and I’ve been watching infants and toddlers since I was 14 years old. I’m a strong driver, I’ve driven for 4 years, 2 in Colombia and 2 here in Seattle. Also I’m bilingual, Spanish is my native language and English is my second one.

Hello families! My name is Noora, and I am a new graduate Registered Nurse with almost two years of experience working in a licensed home childcare setting and 3 years on Care. com. Working with children has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I love creating a safe and fun environment where kids can comfortably learn, and play. My approach to childcare is creative and individualized. Every child is different, and I enjoy getting to know their personalities, interests, and what helps them thrive. I love finding fun and engaging activities that match each child's unique needs. I do not smoke, have reliable transportation and CPR verified. I am comfortable with pets but unfortunately allergic to cats. As the oldest sibling in my family, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I value open communication and building trusting relationships with both children and parents. I'd describe my personality as caring, creative, and understanding. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, going to the beach, and spending time with family and friends. Looking forward to be apart of your child's care!
