The Stegmaier Family

& Anneke Wardlaw

Fremont, Seattle$12.50/hr | 1 kid

Hi! I'm Andrew. My wife Margaret and I are in a nanny share with another family in Greenlake (Seattle) who has one daughter. We're going to be traveling for March and April, and we're looking for another family to fill our spot while we're gone. (There's some wiggle room on when the start and end date would be, depending on your needs, but it would be temporary). The nanny is my wife's sister, Anneke, and we're flexible about the days of the week, and the times.

Melissa M.

I can not say enough about Missy. She is so dedicated to the care, well being and needs of children. She provides endless amounts energy and creativity. I have always admired her ability to truly know and understand each child in her care, as individuals. It is without hesitation that I recommend Melissa Marceau for any position in the field of child care. - Kirsten

Mike I.

Mike was amazing with my son Ian. He was three months when he started watching him and almost a year when we moved. I wish I still had him around to help out. He was understanding of my situation and worked with me so I could be at work. When I was sick he took Ian out of the house so I could get better and rest. I highly recommend him as anyone's nanny. - Iris
