The benefits that arise from interactions between senior citizens and
children have been well researched and proven. As a professional
nanny, I try to do what I can to enrich the lives of my charges. With
that being said, in October of 2018, I started a weekly play group at
Pacifica Senior Living in Lynnwood, WA. Sprouts & Seniors meets every
Wednesday at 10AM in the Community Cottage at Pacifica. The play group
officially starts at 10AM and lasts for about an hour, but you are
welcome to drop in any time within the hour. There’s various toys on
hand (baby dolls, baby stroller, small ball pit, puzzles, stuffed
animals, a couple books, etc) and snacks (puffs, teething biscuits,
yogurt melts). The rhythm of the morning is very casual and
unstructured, the children play and the residents can engage as much
as they wish. The play group takes place in the Community Cottage,
which is towards the back of the property as you drive through (there
are signs that direct you to it as well). If parking is not available
on Pacifica’s property, you may park at the church next door. We
welcome children of all ages, from birth to school aged.
