Kenady Swan

Seattle$25/hr | 6 yrs experience

Hi, my name is Kenady and I am Seattle native! I have lived all over Washington but call Seattle my home. I have a 10 month old miniature golden doodle named Cooper who is becoming a service animal for Seattle Children's Hospital to bring animal therapy to the kids staying there.

I have always loved working with children and getting to know them and their individual personalities. I also enjoy watching children grow and learn, helping them as they grow and face new challenges in school and life in general in a real passion of mine and something I feel is a true privilege.

I am passionate about children because you can learn a lot from them, like how to enjoy the simple things in life. I enjoy bringing my love of art, sports, music, history, outdoors, healthy foods, Steiner style learning and exploration to children.

Lindsey Comstock

Seattle$17/hr | < 1 yr experience

Hi there!

My name is Lindsey Comstock, and I am a sophomore at Washington State University! I am a patient and compassionate individual with a big heart for childcare. Not only does the role of being a live-in nanny allow me to build meaningful relationships with the children and family, but playing such an integral role in the most developmental time in a child's life makes the job that much more rewarding!

With almost ten years of experience in childcare, I am an energetic, dependable, patient, and compassionate caregiver. I am adept at organizing children's day-to-day schedules, including school, running errands, recreational activities, and meals. With my effective communication and strong ability to care for children at different stages of development, I am confident that relationships will grow and flourish! Additionally, I like to perpetuate a tidy environment, so I am pleased to contribute to housework, cooking, laundry, errands, and transporting kids to/from activities!

Alliesha Weathersby

Capitol Hill, Seattle$25/hr | 5 yrs experience

Hi there! My name is Alliesha and I’ve been a professional nanny for seven years and I’ve babysat for over ten years. I love working with children and it’s always been a passion of mine. I have worked closely with a family over the course of two years and I have also done backup care going to different houses daily with agencies in Seattle. Over the years I’ve learned how important communication is and being able to make the child and the parents comfortable. I enjoy outdoor activities the most and love exploring parks, trails, and new areas in Seattle. I have been trained in an educational style of nannying. I target educational activities like reading, building with toys, drawing and nursery rhymes first and relay on screen-time last and only if approved. Please feel free to reach out for more information, I’d love to chat more!
