A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Hadley Knutzen, a 24-year-old from Burlington, Washington. Now I live in Ellensburg, Washington. I worked as a nanny for five years, caring for two girls and their puppies. I handled household chores, school pickups, meal preparation, and after-school activities, including occasional overnight care. I graduated from Central Washington University with a degree in elementary education and special education. I also recently completed a master's degree in Science, Curriculum Instruction, and Design from Western Governors University. I have experience in kindergarten readiness at a daycare, assisting children aged 1 month to 5 years. Additionally, I worked as a special education para-educator, focusing on de-escalating challenging behaviors. My family also owns a large cattle farm and I have grown up with all kinds of animals, I can also help out with outdoor chores or help work with livestock. I love working with children and animals!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think the most important part about being a nanny is being reliable. It is important to be reliable with your time but also I believe it is important to be reliable for the children. Showing up and treating the children with the same love and care each day is extreamly important for how children feel and how comfortable they are. If you are a reliable person in your nanny child’s life it will make a huge difference for them.

Hi there! My name is Cynthia, I am a student at CWU studying Elementary Special Education and am looking for a family to work for! Working with children and watching their little brains work hard to learn new things has always been a passion of mine! For the past seven years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Most recently, I was a Nanny for a family of 2 now toddlers for 3 years in which I did pick up/drop offs for school, day trips with the kiddos, ran errands, cooked meals, cleaned, did laundry, did overnights and more. My approach is patient, calm, and kind; I tend to use more redirection and discussions as opposed timeouts/punishments, of course I am happy to discuss and uphold household rules/expectations. I love to encourage playing outdoor games, board games, as well as activities that stimulate kiddos' brains to promote learning and developmental milestones! I also have First Aid Training and CPR Training and food handlers permit!
