About Valerie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! My name is Val and I received my Masters of Arts in Teaching 2016 from the University of Puget Sound. I spent a few years working as a 2nd and 4th grade teacher and have been working in nonprofits since leaving the classroom. Prior to my career in education, I worked with families with multiple children ages 18 months-12 years, have been a sports camp counselor, and also coached varsity basketball at a local high school. I am passionate about centering relationship building, social emotional learning, creative expression, nature, and movement. On top of my experience working with children, I also have a lot of knowledge and background in dog and cat care. I am seeking part-time work with families that are fully vaccinated for Covid.

Valerie was our part time nanny when our boys were younger. She was dependable and reliable. My boys loved having her spend time with them! We trusted her implicitly and she was receptive to our parenting style and followed our schedule as we asked. She continued to babysit our boys occasionally after we no longer needed a regular nanny. She was an asset to our family.
