Hello, I currently work as paraprofessional at highline elementary school working towards a masters in elementary education. I have been a live in or nanny twice in my career. I have 14 years plus of experience . I love working with kiddos and doing all the things kids love to do. My main background is in photography as I own my own business and trying to get that full time. I specialize in mainly elementary school age kiddos working with them in getting them to where they need to be in school and other areas in life.
“Lacey and I worked together in my kindergarten classroom, where she served as a one-on-one paraprofessional. She is incredibly kind, patient, and passionate about supporting students, always putting their needs first. Lacey has strong communication skills and builds meaningful connections with both students and staff/families. Outside of the classroom, she continues to share her love for working with children through babysitting and nannying, where she brings creativity, energy, and fun to every experience.”
