$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Mountlake Terrace, WA

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!
