About Derek

Experience: 4 yrs

I have a great deal of experience working with children from of a variety of different ages. I have worked as a camp counselor, a nature center specialist and I have also care for kids before as a manny. I find working with children to be rewarding and my nurturing personality has aided me in my childcare abilities. Also, I have an immense amount of patience and received a lot of gratification in teaching and educating children about life skills. I also take safety very seriously and have my certification in First Aid, CPR, AED usage and my Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Responder. Personally, I am very creative, responsible, and patient when it comes to working with children. I always have great new fun-filled activities; I understand the importance of making sure that children have structured and stimulating activities throughout their day. Please feel free to message me for any and all information about my background! Hope to hear from you soon!!!

Derek was so great with my boys! He took them fishing, hiking, played in the snow and was always willing to play. My boys have lots of energy and he would play Frisbee, run around and just seemed to have fun with them. He always left the house cleaner than when we left it and was very responsible. We miss him and wish he would move back to Seattle!
