A little bit about me

I have extensive experience as a full-time, live-in professional nanny for 13 years all over the US and the world, from newborns to toddlers to pre-adolescents. I absolutely loved being a professional nanny, especially to the younger babies and toddlers! I’ve been called a “baby whisperer” from the time I started a babysitters club at 11. It is my pleasure to provide the safest, fun, educational, kind, and gentle experiences for your most prized treasure.

I worked as a professional nanny for families in the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, NJ, CT, and Italy. I've worked for many years in my church's nursery with babies from the time I was in high school and as recent as last year. I also volunteer weekly at Pine Ridge Elementary.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, graduated with honors (SummaCumLaude), and an award for neuropsychology research.

I am currently looking and applying for grad school in the neuropsych arena so I can work with children in a clinical setting.

"I’ve known Kristy for over 20 years. We found her through a nanny agency. Kristy worked with us from when our baby girl was about 6 months old until she was two. She worked 3 full days and full-time for us over the summer. Later, she babysat for us, and we hired her for a week while we went to Hawaii. It was great for us to know our daughter was well taken care of, and she was thrilled to have her favorite nanny come and spend a week with her! Kristy is loving, responsible, completely trustworthy and reliable. Beyond that she is very creative and truly loves children. Kristy would prepare healthy food for my daughter, take her to the park, read to her, do fun projects, take her on fun excursions, and fully engage with her. In terms of discipline, she would follow our lead and set age-appropriate limits when needed. We always knew our daughter would be safe, well taken care of and happy when she was with “Keke". I highly recommend her. ❤️"

A little bit about me

Hi there, I’m Adia. I enjoy all things nature, cooking, and creative. As the oldest of 5 children “Nannying” is second nature to me. I fully enjoy hanging out with kids of all ages and love knowing parents have a little weight off of their shoulders with me around. Please reach out, I would love to chat about your family’s needs and how I might help fill in the gap. I’m also happy to provide several references from past families I have been blessed to be part of - in a nanny kind of way.

"I wholeheartedly recommend Adia as a nanny! There are so many amazing things about working with Adia but the biggest is how happy and content my kids were when she was our nanny. She is still the most beloved nanny/babysitter in our house. At the time that Adia was our nanny I was working part time and homeschooling one of my kids. She stepped in and helped with my child's school work, picked up my daughter from kinder, and worked/played with them for the rest of the day. Adia is positive but also keeps them in line with clear and set boundaries. I felt that Adia really saw my kids for who they are and respected them and cared for them. The time she spent with us was cut short only due to family circumstances. Again, I cannot recommend her enough."

A little bit about me

Hello, I am Kacie! A fun and nurturing Mom looking to bring in some extra income for my family. For the past 5+ years I have been nannying while bringing my child with me! So not only is your child getting the care and attention they need, they have built in play dates and weekly socialization with another young child! It's a win win for both sides! I have Nannied for a handful of families and it's been a beautiful experience each and every time.

I have two boys. My oldest is six and in Kindergarten and my youngest is two and is the one who would be tagging along with me!
We are closing on our home in Bend at the end of the month. We move into our home towards the end of June from Seattle. Would love to have something lined up before I’m out there! Looking for 25-40hrs /week ideally.

If this type of arrangement is at all interesting or appealing to you, please reach out! I would love the opportunity to speak with you and answer any questions you may have!
