A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a recent Seattle University graduate with a degree in History, and I’m hoping to eventually become a teacher. I’ve always loved working with kids — I started nannying in high school and really enjoyed building close relationships with the families I worked with. I bring a calm, positive, and dependable energy, and I love creating fun, engaging activities while also helping with routines, homework, and day-to-day support. I’m organized, communicative, and passionate about creating a safe and encouraging environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves.

Hi families,
My name is Natalie and I would love to be your next nanny! I have taken care of primarily infants and toddlers for over 9 years in various childcare settings (including Montessori schools) where I have taken care of up to 4 infants at one time on my own throughout the day. I managed each of their routines and feeding schedules while maintaining a clean classroom environment and worked on their developmental skills with each infant.
I am a patient and calm person, which is just what young children need who are experiencing the world for the first time need.
I began nannying in 2023, and have found joy in being able to get outside with them, as it was not always possible while working with infants in a school environment. This is something I value greatly, as each child deserves to experience nature everyday. I would love to connect and look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me
I have 3 years of experience in child care, I started off as a nanny, working for various of families throughout a year and eventually worked for 2 separate families full time. I also worked in two different childcare centers as a toddler teacher. I had experience with children from newborn to about 3-4 years old. I love working with kids and teaching them, experiencing the world through a child’s eyes is so fascinating and rewarding. I’m from Oakland, California but moved to Seattle last fall. I love going on walks around downtown, nature, anything art related, dancing, reading and roller skating. I’m very outgoing, but also calm and patient. I love working with kids because it helps me tap into my inner child, I’m also learning along side them and its the most rewarding job I’ve ever had!
