A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Claire! I'm a Seattle native and the youngest of four. My older sister, Emily, has Down Syndrome and severe autism, and growing up I helped care for her. This involved bathing, dressing, feeding, giving medication, and supporting her daily needs.

I currently work as an environmental consultant but am seeking a career change. I'm considering ABA, OT, or speech pathology and hope to gain experience with children beyond my sister. I understand both the challenges and joys of caregiving for a special needs child. I am reminded of moments of frustration like Emily refusing to get off the bus, but also moments of pure happiness, like her swinging on the play set for hours.

I also know how important the right caregiver is. I want to be someone who actively engages your child through outings, community interaction, and life-skill development. While new to nannying, I bring a lifetime of caregiving experience and look forward to supporting your family.

Maddie B. - Seeking Work in Seattle

Full-Time Nanny Available in Seattle, WA: Maddie B.

Hi, I'm Maddie! I'm 27 years old and currently work as a preschool teacher. I hold a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and am passionate about helping children develop a love of learning while encouraging their natural curiosity. I love to work with children where they're at and determining my approach on an individual basis.

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, and exploring tide pools.

While I've loved my experience in the classroom, I'm looking for a change of pace by transitioning into nannying. I'm excited about the opportunity to provide more individualized care and attention, build a strong relationship with one child, and support their growth and development in a more personal setting.
