A little bit about me

Hi there, I'm Vivien, an energetic and creative nanny with five years of experience across 6 families in WA and CA. I recently finished my bachelor's degree and have experience with all ages, though I’m really enjoying spending time with my 4 year old niece and 6 year old nephew currently.

I focus on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow. Our days might include seasonal crafts, nature play, baking, reading, pretend play, and special weekly outings. I'm firm but kind, and I'll work with you on any challenges that come up.

I'm open to full-time or part-time work, with rates starting at $25/hour for one child. I'm CPR and first aid certified, have my own car, and am fully insured.

Outside of work, I love to cook recipes from my Anne of Green Gables cook book, garden, edit videos, and travel. I look forward to meeting you!

"Be kind and take good care of this nanny, she’s one for keeps. Vivien is a blessing. Her presence was always appreciated. The ways she supported our family filled in the gaps without ever feeling intrusive. As a caregiver she is polite, active, and education. She provided excellent balance in our sometimes chaotic household of 6. She’s consistent and cordial. She will treat your children and your home with respect and honor. Pay and treat her well, it’ll be well worth the investment."

"I've known Vivien for a few years, but grew close last fall when she helped me rescue cats. She was so attentive, empathetic, patient, and laid back with the animals- even when they were destructive and seemingly unmanageable to me, she was somehow able to manage them. I've since seen her work with her toddler nephews and was touched by how much she cared for them, giving them even more attention than she gave the cats LOL. Vivien is so sweet, intelligent, and passionate even with her calm demeanor. She's gentle, warm, and down to earth. I can't think of anyone I'd rather entrust with a child."

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was baking with one of the kids. We forgot a step in our cookie recipe and my nanny kid sensed my frustration. He reminded me that it’s ok to make mistakes and it was such a sweet reminder.

Hannah O. - Seeking Work in Seattle

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Seattle, WA: Hannah O.

Hi! I’m Hannah, a passionate and experienced child care provider who believes that caring for children teaches us just as much—if not more—than we teach them. Watching little minds explore the world, build confidence, and develop kindness is what makes this work so fulfilling for me!
Growing up in the woods, I developed a deep love for the outdoors, and I bring that same sense of adventure into my nannying. Nature walks, scavenger hunts, or simply playing in the fresh air, I love giving children the opportunity to explore outside. I also focus on fostering an environment of mutual respect—where children feel heard, valued, and encouraged to express themselves while also learning empathy and kindness toward others.
My approach is a balance of playfulness and structure, with most of my experience being in Reggio Emilia curriculum, ensuring that kids have a joyful, engaging day while also feeling secure in their routines. I’d love to bring my experience and joy to your family!
