A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Meagan, I have just graduated with my Bachelor's in Psychology. I have a lot of experience working with kids 2 and up with all abilities. Through my schooling, I have not only learned about child development, but have been able to volunteer in multiple elementary school in the Seattle/Tacoma area and briefly lead an after-school math program for 5th graders. I have also volunteered in my own time at Spirit Therapeutic Riding Center in Ellensburg, WA where I worked with children of all ages and abilities find comfort in their own minds and bodies through horseback riding. In addition, I worked for Seattle Parks' ARC as a daycamp counselor to children ages 4-13. Do not hesitate to ask questions, I am here for you!

A little bit about me

Hi, I am really a healing arts practitioner, iridology, yoga, energy medicine, sound therapy, that being said I love kids and cooking and due to COVID things are not as they used to be. Looking for good kids to take care of, they are the future and for the time being it feels like where spirit is calling me to work. I enjoy singing, art and dance and love to encourage children to be authentically who they are. The world is rapidly changing and we need heart centered children to believe in themselves and assist the generations to come. I am passionate about development and cultivating the inner compass, situations where children are watching TV and on ipads all day will not be a good fit for me. I believe I have the ability to facilitate more ease and flow for a family in need. My values are honesty, integrity, clear communication and high self worth. I hold these stong for myself and others. This is the way.
-Namaste

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Vashon, WA

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Vashon Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a nanny?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
  • Are you open to a live in arrangement in Vashon? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
  • Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Vashon?
  • Do you have a driver’s license in WA? Do you own a car?
  • What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
  • What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help
