A little bit about me

Hi my name is Ruby and I am a freshman at Montana State Univeristy but originally from West Seattle! I am home for the summer and would love the opportunity to be your kiddos nanny. I am currently a human development and family science major with a focus in child development, hoping to eventually get to work with kids and families who are undergoing long term care in hospitals. I have always loved working with kids, since I was in 6th grade I have been a babysitter and last summer was a part time nanny, all through high school I taught ski lessons to kids ages 3-10, and I have been a summer camp counselor for little kiddos.
One thing about me is that I am a very outdoorsy person. I love to go out a play with kids, weather that be building sand castles, making daisie chains, playing tag and everything else. I also love to do fun crafts and teach the kids new skills. My availability is limited, I am available May 20th to August 1st but am willing to work upwards of 40 hours a week.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Nura. I am currently a sophomore at Barnard College, a Seattle Academy alum, and a Rainier Scholar, studying English. I plan to go into publishing or public health in the future. I’m excited to work as a nanny because I already have experience working with children—from teaching them to creating curricula focused on youth literacy. I’m also looking forward to returning to Seattle for winter break and connecting with the kids about growing up here; it was truly one of my favorite experiences.
