Hello! I have over seven years working in childcare. I have a background in early childhood education and have worked as a private teacher for the last two years. I received my degree from Seattle University in Chemistry, with a specialization in teaching primary and secondary math and science. Over the course of my experience working with multiple families, I've been fortunate to work with multi-age children in singular households. At most, I worked with five children in one home (10 yo twins, 8 yo twins, and a 6 yo). I'm used to the kind of organized chaos that comes with lively, energetic kiddos, and I love being able to bring some calm into the fold, while still maintaining the fun. I've had experience with infants a couple months old, up to 14-year-olds. Additionally, I have experience working with kiddos with ADHD, sensory processing disorders, auditory processing disorders, and authoritative defiance disorders. I'd love to see how I can best support your family!
Valerie is wonderful! The kids instantly connected with her. She was highly engaged with them all day (cooking together, going for bike rides, playing games, practicing reading, crafts, etc.) She even cleaned up as she went through the day. Her communication was great and we got pictures throughout the day. The kids cannot wait until she can come again! We highly recommend Valerie😊
