After graduating with a degree in Integrated Marketing Communications in the Philippines, I decided to take additional classes in Early Childhood Development because I love children. My first job in the United States was a kid's club attendant for 24-Hour Fitness for 3 years, where I took care of kids from 6 months to 12 years old. I am currently a middle school (since 2015) and high school basketball coach (since 2016). In my spare time, I love exploring the world and playing basketball. I have a graduate degree in International Marketing from Boston University and I am currently taking my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, specializing in Early Childhood Development from Arizona State University's Online Program.

Ever since I was young, I have always adored kids. I am a CPA and have a full-time accounting job; however, I mostly work from home and I have to say that the kids make our home a much happier place. I call myself “Lola” which means grandma in Filipino. Because I am not on the child care floor full time, I am more like a lola who helps out
when needed and loves to play with the kids. On my spare time, you can see me reading a book, like my favorite princess, Belle.

I have always wanted to help people at a young age and have come across early childhood education where I found a passion for helping families and children. I graduated from Washington State University (Go Cougs!) in 2018 and have been teaching in childcare since then.
A little more about myself is that I was born in the Philippines and moved to Hawaii when I was 5 years old. In 2014 I graduated High School and moved to East Washington to pursue my career. I found myself here in West Seattle working with The Little Trailblazers :) A small-town girl moving to a big city motivates me to keep working hard. When I'm not busy running around I am usually at home sleeping with my dog Griz :)

I have been working with kids for years; lately as an assistant teacher in another daycare. My approach as a teacher will be to create a safe and positive environment that will encourage discovery, development, creativity, communication, and independence. I am looking forward to meeting everybody and being part of a great team.

Hi everyone, I am Teacher Jess, I was born and raised in a small town called Clinton, Connecticut. This is where I spent my childhood playing outside, exploring trails, and riding a bike in the forest with my siblings. I have a huge passion for sports as soccer and softball also were a big part of my childhood.
I moved to Seattle about 15 years ago on a leap of faith. My path has taken a different route than planned but, it led me to Little Trail Blazers and I am truly grateful for the opportunity and the trust you are putting in me with your children.
I am currently getting my Master's in Elementary Education along with my educational license. I have over 10 years of experience working in the classroom with ages ranging from infant to school-age children. And it’s my absolute favorite thing to watch a child grow confidence and empathy for themselves and their peers.
I love to have fun, explore, create, learn, and imagine in a safe way, while also testing our limits and capabilities through hands-on experiences.

Talofa! This is how we say Hello in Samoa! I’m Christy Moegu, my family calls me Titi. A little about me is I’m a proud Pacific Islander born & raised in Washington. I grew up in a huge household full of humbleness and self-discipline. Fun facts about it, I am the 13th out of 14 siblings! 7 girls and 7 boys. I also played sports like Rugby & Volleyball just to get out of the house & to keep me busy while I was in school. On the other hand, I always wanted to help our young students face adversity & poverty so they wouldn’t lack the opportunities, skills & resources I did as a child. Being here at Lil Trailblazers helps me further my journey & I’m super excited to share this experience with a lovely team & group of kiddos!

Hello! My name is Chaimae Edderqaoui, everyone calls me Chae. I’m the preschool lead teacher and I’m 28 years old from Morocco, and I live in Federal Way. I have a BA degree in Cultural Studies and MA in Translation. I previously worked as an English teacher in Morocco at an elementary school (1st-6th grade) and that experience was unlike any other, it was challenging but taught me a lot about myself and helped me acquire and work on skills like communication, leading a classroom, and also challenged my creativity. In my free time, I love being outside whether it’s hiking, going to the beach, or going for a run. I also very much enjoy reading, learning languages, learning about different cultures, baking, doing crafts like embroidery and crochet, and so on.

Hello families, my name is Clenisha but I go by Ms. Nene (knee-Knee), I am 22 years old, and love arts and crafts and all things color!
I’ve worked in the childcare business for about 4-5 years now! I’ve worked for ARC (Associated Recreational Council) who partnered with Seattle Parks and Outer Space Seattle founded by 2 west Seattle moms who provided a safe play space for children of all ages and abilities!
Since working in childcare, I have developed a huge gratitude towards children of all ages! My favorite part about being in this field is seeing the different milestones each child accomplishes. I plan to soon one day start my own business regarding children in a few ways from transportation and helping more parents to child psychology! A few things I like to do outside of being with children is visit lakes, go out of town, take my dog to the dog park and watch her interact and develop a better social skill, and of course relaxing on my sofa watching all types of tv shows! I look forward to spending some time with your little ones as well as getting to know little more but also you guys as well!

I am very passionate about working with children. I come from a big family with 4 brothers and 4 sisters, which exposed me to a fun-loving and caring environment. I have earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from the Philippines and have been working with children since 2008. In 2010, I started working as a preschool teacher and have been doing it ever since. I love sports and have volunteered to coach both children’s soccer and volleyball. On my spare time, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors and playing sports (Basketball and Flag Football).
