Leah Knopp

Seattle$30/hr | 8 yrs experience

Hi there! My name is Leah, 26 years old, and am looking for a full-time nanny position starting ASAP. I have roughly 9 years of child-care experience. I've been a nanny, babysitter, preschool Teacher, teaching assistant and reading coach. Recently I worked for a private nanny for 4 years with a 4 month old and loved the experience. I am CPR certified, non-smoker and have a CNA license from working at a nursing home. In my free-time, I love to explore the outdoors. I enjoy hiking, running long distances, cooking and baking. I use to be a soccer player, so I enjoy running with children and playing ball!

Abigail Faith

Seattle$20/hr | 14 yrs experience

Hello! I have a passion for music and the outdoors, and I love getting kiddos involved in nature and art projects. I play violin, guitar and ukulele. I enjoy Kayaking, hiking, cooking, camping, painting and drawing, reading and writing.
My childcare experience has been a wide range, from infants to teenagers.
I grew up on a farm in Missouri with a family of 8, so I am comfortable in chaos and cool as a cucumber in stressful situations.

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!

Lana Dang

Broadview, Seattle$23/hr | 3 yrs experience

My name’s Lana and I’m an pair in Ballard (we live close to Salmon Bay Park).

More information about me: I’ve been working as au pair for about 3yrs and a half now (1 year in France, 2yrs and a half in America), all the kids that I take care of are younger than 6 so I have tons of experience taking care of toddlers. I don’t drive so it’d be the best if you could drop off and pick up your baby or I can take buses to your place.

I am very pet friendly, gentle and patient. I'm also firm when needed and very tidy. All my hosts describe me as very reliable and warm-hearted.

I am fully vaccinated.

Hopefully this helps and I’m so looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

Madison Vosk

Junction, Seattle$20/hr | 2 yrs experience

Hi! I'm relocating to the area from Idaho in late December early January and am looking for a full-time nannying position.

I have professional experience working in a daycare as well as extensive babysitting experience--including overnights. I love pets of all kinds and have/had many furry friends of my own (rats, mice, hamsters, cats, dogs, sugar gliders, fish, turtles, lizards--you name it) as well as lots of petsitting experience.

I'm currently finishing my B.A. in Linguistics and have studied child development, childhood language acquisition, and other related topics. I speak Spanish, English, and Korean. I'm also fully vaccinated :)

I look forward to helping make your life easier!

Jessica Huls

Northeast Seattle, Seattle$20/hr | 19 yrs experience

I am a VACCINATED mom of 2 young adults. I taught high school social studies in MD for 4 yrs (which required me to take several 200 level child development classes that ranged from birth - adulthood) including classes with students with disabilities. I have a bright and positive disposition and almost unlimited patience. I LOVE kids and am wistful that mine are big. I try to make every moment a learning moment and spent a year homeschooling my own kids when they were in Kindergarten and 2nd grade. During that time I used project-based learning techniques by letting my kids pick a topic that interested them and basing our curriculum around that. I graduated with my BS from an HBCU in MD with a degree focusing on African and Black History. I am an ardent believer in equity and justice. Currently, I attend American University for my M.Ed. in Education Policy. I am a veteran of 8 yrs and have 13 yrs of legal experience. I am looking to nanny because I love and connect with little ones.

Lauren Dale

Capitol Hill, Seattle$25/hr | 6 yrs experience

Hi there!
My name is Lauren. I have been babysitting for nearly 13 years and nannying full time for six years. I have primarily worked with children ages 3 months-four years but I also have experience with preteens as well as some experience with special needs.
I love being outdoors; hiking, swimming, kayaking, camping, snowboarding, and climbing are all activities I grew up doing and still love today! I think it is important to get children outside and show them how wonderful nature can be. When the weather doesn't cooperate, I find it best not to turn to technology but to do arts and crafts, build a fort, read stories, or just be silly and dance around! If you have any further questions about me or think I may be a good fit for your family, please do not hesitate to message me!
*I would like to add a disclaimer stating I do not currently live in Seattle, I am looking to move when my current contract expires in Jan 2022*

Have you considered a nanny share?

A nanny share is when one nanny cares for children from two different families. Each family saves significantly on child care expenses, while the nanny enjoys higher pay than the typical full-time position.

Nanny Shares in Seattle, WA

The Ahmed Family

Seattle$15/hr | 2 kids

Interested in finding someone to care for our boys part time starting August 2022. Ideally someone would come to our home Mon-Fri from 8am-12pm before dropping the boys off at daycare for the rest of the day. Our baby will be 5 months old and our first born will be 2 years old. 20 hours a week total with the potential for more if things work out. Personal vehicle needed to take the kids to daycare or the park, etc. Parents will be working from home primarily, but may occasionally be in the office. Light cleaning, cooking/meal prep needed.

Alternatively, we are open to being a part of a nanny share, if the other family was close by.

The Toscano Family

Seattle$20/hr | 1 kid

We are looking for a full-time nanny for our 17 month old son beginning January 2022. We would like someone active who can really engage him, take him outside and on fun adventures. We have had some sleep troubles, so we will need someone who is willing to help us work on nap issues. Someone who has worked with children with language delays is also a bonus. Ideally our nanny will be ok with a somewhat flexible work schedule. We would be able to provide a minimum of 30 hours a week and a maximum of 45. Holidays and PTO would be included. While our son naps, we'd love help with light household cleaning and meal prep, though taking care of our son is always first priority. Finally, we'd like someone who would consider a nanny share down the road once there is a good relationship established with our son. We'd like to consider 1-2 more children for the nanny share, with an increase in pay, of course.

We really look forward to having someone be a part of our family and to be our son's biggest advocate. Thank you for considering!

Abigail F.

Abigail was such a joy to have. She was always on time, went above and beyond always doing more than I asked of her. My boys loved her (she came at 6 weeks old with our first) and stayed through potty training, teething and everything in between. Honest, reliable and really loves kids. - Kelly

Mike I.

We only call Mike for date nights. He is compassionate, understanding and a great communicator. My girls are 6, 2, and infant and he is amazing with them. Always arrives on time with clean gear! - Ashley

I'm in Australia and everything is done via the internet. He is amazingly knowledgeable and empathetic to my situation with being a first time mum and was always there to help when I needed. I'd have him here in Australia if I could afford to bring him over to live! - Hayley
