A little bit about me
I am a mother of 5 adult children, Ages 20 to 30 yrs old. Multi tasking is my specialty. I like to communicate with children in a manner in which they will fully comprehend, while remembering they are still young children. I love kids and their vivid imaginations. They make my heart smile. I am currently unemployed and looking to make some extra income, what better way to do so, than by spending my days with someone's amazing children and caring for them

A little bit about me
Hello!
I have been a nanny in Seattle for around 6 years since moving to Seattle in 2012 for undergrad at SPU. I’ve worked with children aged 3mo to 8 years, most families I have worked with for years (and have kept in contact with since) and others short term depending on what’s needed!
I absolutely love working with infants and toddlers, and I enjoy growing with the families and kids I work with, as they develop and learn more about the world around them! I also think grade schoolers are a blast, they can always make you laugh and I admire their growing independence and confidence.
I have experience with potty training, bottle/solids feeding, sleep and bath schedules, baby sign language, homework assistance, food prep, and I’m always looking to learn more! I keep a tidy home in my own time, and this extends to the families I work with as well— I am happy to tidy up, do dishes, and other needs where I can.

A little bit about me
I've been working as a nanny for over 16 years, for 10 of those years I have also nannied children with various disabilities, and for 8 of those years I've also been working as a pediatric behavioral therapist! Caring for children, supporting and encouraging their development, isn’t just a job to me, it’s a vocation! I have a bachelors degree in developmental neuroscience and one in psychology and I plan to get my masters in Occupational Therapy. I've also been doing internships and volunteering in OT clinics for 7 years and they are really the developmental specialists so my experience is really diverse! I love to set up various age appropriate little activities and incorporate sensory play into them. I really love to do learning through play and imagination- learning should always be fun! I am happy to get messy (and of course clean it up), and I am very, very patient and I hold calm and consistent boundaries. Also, tiny human snuggles and giggles are the best things in the world!

A little bit about me
Hi I'm Livi!
I’m 27 years old and have been babysitting since I was 12—it’s always been second nature to me. I grew up with a twin brother who has special needs, which taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt quickly. Since then, I’ve cared for all kinds of kiddos: infants, twins, children with autism and Down syndrome, and little ones with food allergies or special routines.
Before spending the last 5 years working as a fine dining chef, I worked at a daycare where I got to know kids of all ages—and I loved every minute of it. I’m also an animal lover through and through. I have my 2-year-old cat, Margot, and I’m comfortable around animals of all kinds.
I’m calm in a crisis, creative during playtime, and always happy to help however I can. Whether it’s coming up with exciting games, prepping allergy-safe meals, or just being a reliable, nurturing presence, I’m here to make your life a little easier and your kids’ days a lot more fun!

A little bit about me
I’m a career nanny of 10 years primarily having worked in infant shares. I value getting outside everyday rain or shine with my charges. I believe children are whole people who deserve respect and to be heard. I strive to give the children in my care as much autonomy as safely possible while also gently enforcing boundaries and rules. A typical day in my care is filled with lots of narration and singing and age appropriate developmental activities. I’m well versed in many different forms of sleep training, different types of feeding styles, and potty training. I like to work along side my employers as a part of team whose main goal is raising a happy healthy child.
