A little bit about me
Hello!
I have been a nanny in Seattle for around 6 years since moving to Seattle in 2012 for undergrad at SPU. I’ve worked with children aged 3mo to 8 years, most families I have worked with for years (and have kept in contact with since) and others short term depending on what’s needed!
I absolutely love working with infants and toddlers, and I enjoy growing with the families and kids I work with, as they develop and learn more about the world around them! I also think grade schoolers are a blast, they can always make you laugh and I admire their growing independence and confidence.
I have experience with potty training, bottle/solids feeding, sleep and bath schedules, baby sign language, homework assistance, food prep, and I’m always looking to learn more! I keep a tidy home in my own time, and this extends to the families I work with as well— I am happy to tidy up, do dishes, and other needs where I can.

A little bit about me
I’m currently a pastry student at a local college. I’m the oldest of three girls and have plenty of experience watching my two younger sisters. I had my own summer nanny as a child and enjoyed all the fun experiences she alway had planned for us. I hope to recreate that same experience for someone else. I'm an upbeat easy to get along with person. Besides having a nanny, I was in Girl Scouts, and went to plenty of summer camps. I love art and history. I would love to help figure out ways to learn and be creative together. I also have experience helping kids with ADHD.

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.

A little bit about me
I've been working as a nanny for over 16 years, for 10 of those years I have also nannied children with various disabilities, and for 8 of those years I've also been working as a pediatric behavioral therapist! Caring for children, supporting and encouraging their development, isn’t just a job to me, it’s a vocation! I have a bachelors degree in developmental neuroscience and one in psychology and I plan to get my masters in Occupational Therapy. I've also been doing internships and volunteering in OT clinics for 7 years and they are really the developmental specialists so my experience is really diverse! I love to set up various age appropriate little activities and incorporate sensory play into them. I really love to do learning through play and imagination- learning should always be fun! I am happy to get messy (and of course clean it up), and I am very, very patient and I hold calm and consistent boundaries. Also, tiny human snuggles and giggles are the best things in the world!

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.
