About James

Experience: 4 yrs

Hello! My name is James and I go by Jimmy. I've spent 12 years in China teaching children from ages 1-12, mostly 3-5-year-olds. I then spent 4 years working as a nanny and private caregiver in the Seattle area while I finished up my BS in psychology from WSU. I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. With four years of childcare experience, I'm committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for your child. As a certified teacher, I offer a unique blend of educational and recreational activities that cater to their individual needs. My patient and calm personality allows me to handle challenging situations with ease. I believe in open communication with parents and provide regular updates about their child's day. With my experience in enforcing household rules, I ensure a structured and disciplined environment. I'm fluent in Chinese and English. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I look forward to meeting you and your child!

Jimmy was a very kind and patient caregiver for our then 4-5 year old twins. One of them has a disability and Jimmy was able to learn very quickly how to handle our son's special needs, including g-tube feeds, medication administration, and support with walking. He attended therapies with our kids, and even traveled to Seattle Children's a few times for us for medical appointments. On a snow day, he was so helpful to drive in the terrible weather to go pick up our daughter from school and get her home safely. He was very encouraging to our kids and they always looked forward to seeing him.
