Hi, I am April and helping families and children is my passion. I am currently a full time Early Head Start Home Visitor for the Puget Sound ESD. Previous to this I was a teacher for Head Start in a blended Special Ed classroom of 3 to 5 year olds. I also worked for Early Head Start as an infant toddler teacher. My work as a Head Start teacher started in 2009. I also have experience as a nanny and have been a supervisor of a childcare center. My experience with children ranges from ages 0 to teens. However, I consider myself an Early childhood professional and 0-5 is who I work with most and feel most confident with. I have experience with children with Autism, Down Syndrom, and a variety of sensory needs. I take pride in working in this field as I believe early childhood education is what builds a successful foundation for learning. I also have a degree in Early Childhood Education. My philosophy with children is based upon them having their social/emotional needs met. When children can feel good about themselves, they are likely to thrive in learning and play. I believe kids are best engaged when they are doing what they love whether that be pretend play, play dough, outdoor play, etc. Getting to know their interests is how I learn to work with them. In addition, I am happy to follow your guidance on their routines as well. I live in Burien. I am available evenings, weekends, and overnights. I am open to housesitting or watching your children while you enjoy a weekend get away. I have a car for transporting children if needed. I also stay to date on my flu and Covid vaccines. I hope to hear from you!

Kaleen 1 review

Booked by 1 family in Vashon, WA

Hi, my name is Kaleen. I just relocated to Seattle from Florida. I am a mother of a 22 year-old son, a 17 year-old daughter, and my little guy is Jakob who is 5 1/2 years old. I share custody so there are plenty of opportunities for me to pick up shifts when I don't have him. With that being said, I don't have any certifications for childcare training. I have raised three amazing children. I am CPR certified in adults and children. I am a veteran, student, I am kind, patient, loving, dependable, honest, hardworking, and I can assure you that your children will be in great hands. I have been in the healthcare field for 25 years working in hospital settings, emergency settings, in-home caregiver settings, and everything pharmacy related. I have completed one year of nursing school, hoping to finish the last year and work with chemotherapy patients. As a single mom, I understand most people cannot afford $25+ an hour, I can't either, so I am willing to be flexible with payments and rates. I have an SUV, so I can run errands or take your kiddos out to wherever you might love to go! Or maybe some of mine and Jake's favorite places. Please don't hesitate to ask any and all questions.

Kaleen is was very responsive from beginning to end which I appreciated. This was my first time leaving my 6 month old with a non-family member and I was STRESSED to be honest! She put me at ease and the results speak for themselves. My baby cries and cries when anyone but me holds him and by the time Kaleen was done he was smiling and content. She put in the work to get my son to relax which in turn helped me relax. She was punctual, and comfortable with my animals. Respectful of the home. I would recommend her and would feel confident having her watch my son again.

Hi - My name is Anna and I am a preschool teacher for 3-5 year olds. As a parent, myself, I know what it's like to search for a babysitter. As a teacher, mom, and caregiver I love being with children. I have over 20 plus years of experience working kids, mostly 3-5 year olds. Presently I work at a special education preschool in a inclusive classroom where children of all abilities and backgrounds are present. I have been a caretaker for my family and try to help where I can. I am looking to make extra income this summer for our summer trips and am a great person for last minute sitter options. I am very flexible and can help with pretty much anything you need.
