I love working with kids and teaching kids everything from reading, writing, and math to interpersonal skills. I have the most experience with preschool aged kids though I also have babysitting experience with kids of all ages as well as after school program experience with kids of all ages. Looking forward to finding the perfect fit for this summer!

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Clementine and I go to Montana State University, but have family in Seattle and come home often. I love kids and have been working with them for 4+ years, through nannying agencies, babysitting, and daycare programs. I love the outdoors and spend much of my time outside. I believe children should experience the outdoors often and am always eager to go on a walk to look at flowers! I aim to provide your child with the guidance, safety, and support they need to grow.

I am only looking for a temporary position for the summer, preferably from mid-May to early-August. I would love to work Monday-Thursday.

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Ruby and I am a freshman at Montana State Univeristy but originally from West Seattle! I am home for the summer and would love the opportunity to be your kiddos nanny. I am currently a human development and family science major with a focus in child development, hoping to eventually get to work with kids and families who are undergoing long term care in hospitals. I have always loved working with kids, since I was in 6th grade I have been a babysitter and last summer was a part time nanny, all through high school I taught ski lessons to kids ages 3-10, and I have been a summer camp counselor for little kiddos.
One thing about me is that I am a very outdoorsy person. I love to go out a play with kids, weather that be building sand castles, making daisie chains, playing tag and everything else. I also love to do fun crafts and teach the kids new skills. My availability is limited, I am available May 20th to August 1st but am willing to work upwards of 40 hours a week.

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in Seattle, WA

Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in Seattle, WA for a temporary need, from a few weeks to a few months.

We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.

What Is a Short-Term Nanny?

A short-term nanny works for a set period rather than as an ongoing hire. Families look for short-term help when a parent is on leave, when they are between nannies, for a new baby, or while they are relocating or traveling. The end date is agreed at the start.

Common Responsibilities of Short-Term Nannies in Seattle, WA

A short-term nanny takes on the same duties as any nanny, including caring for children, preparing meals, and keeping to routines, and often starts quickly. Because the role is temporary, they need a clear handover covering schedules, allergies, and house rules on day one.

What to Consider Before You Hire

Be upfront about the start date, the end date, and the chance of an extension. Fixed-term roles still benefit from clear pay terms, and a written agreement helps both sides. Short-term nannies who can start quickly are in demand, so message early.

Short-Term Nanny Interview Questions

Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:

  • Are you available for our dates, and could you extend if we need it?
  • How quickly could you start?
  • Have you worked short-term or fill-in roles before?
  • How would you get to know our routines quickly?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?

At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
