Crissi Eatonville
$22 per hour for 1 child

I have been a caregiver to newborns, infants, toddlers and pre teens for over 20 years. In my spare time I do volunteer at the local schools and community center. Your child or children would be my number one concern and focus while in my care. They will enjoy learning and exploring new adventures everyday, inside or outside. I believe in eating healthy and staying active throughout the year. Music, instruments, art, sports, and outdoor activities are a big part of my life.

Hello! I currently work with the Clover Park school district as a Para-educator. I supervise recess and lunch for elementary students as well as one on one help in kindergarten classes. So lots of experience with a lot of different kinds of kids! Momma of a 14 year old kiddo so I’ve been through that whole ordeal too. I also have a wide experience in animal care as I operate a small farm with chickens rabbits ducks fish cats frogs and crabs - and a Peahen! Experience with dogs as well.
