A little bit about me

Hi!
My name is Jessica Andrea Rojas, and I am from Colombia. I embarked on this wonderful journey as a childcare provider back in 2017. In my four years of experience.
As a childcare provider, my goal is to create an environment where children thrive holistically. Here's how I approach it:

1. Love and Affection: This foundation helps them develop independence, self-confidence, and a sense of empathy.

2. Discipline:
I work closely with parents to establish consistent routines and age-appropriate activities.

3. Personal Development:
I prioritize a child's comprehensive development, encompassing intellectual, social, emotional, and physical aspects. Through engaging activities and experiences, I aim to stimulate cognitive abilities, foster creativity, nurture emotional intelligence, and promote physical well-being.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name's Julia, I'm 21 and currently a psychology major at UW. I'm originally from Spain and speak both English and Spanish fluently.
I'm a positive, reliable, active and energetic person with more than 2 years of experience with kids, comfortable taking care of kids of all ages. I have the most experience with toddlers and pre-teens. I will make sure that your kids get the appropriate care and are in a safe space; for me, they are not only someone to take care of and respect, but to learn from and assist in the exciting life-long process that is growing. I consider myself resilient, responsible and organized, but also fun and outgoing. I understand that kiddos need the best of both worlds, so I will provide a supervised and safe environment for them, as well as a creative and playful one.

A little bit about me

I started babysitting at 13 and my passion for children started there. I was a nanny (part and full time) for 9 years before taking a 2 years off of full time nannying to try something new. Though I never stopped babysitting as caring for children is something I find joy in. I am now back because the love I have for this field increased with my time away.
I believe in being kind, flexible yet scheduled, and creative as a nanny. My personal life consists of being outside, crafts, and my friends.
Open to part and full time work.
I am so excited to help your family!

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Seattle, WA

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Seattle Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a nanny?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
  • Are you open to a live in arrangement in Seattle? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
  • Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Seattle?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in WA? Do you own a car?
  • What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
  • What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help

Daycare vs. Hiring a Nanny

Choosing between putting your child in daycare and hiring a nanny can be a tough decision. While nannies are often more expensive, they provide individualized attention and flexibility. Daycares, on the other hand, prioritize socialization. Our Nanny vs Daycare guide can help you determine what's best for your family.
