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
Hi, my name is Nura. I am currently a sophomore at Barnard College, a Seattle Academy alum, and a Rainier Scholar, studying English. I plan to go into publishing or public health in the future. I’m excited to work as a nanny because I already have experience working with children—from teaching them to creating curricula focused on youth literacy. I’m also looking forward to returning to Seattle for winter break and connecting with the kids about growing up here; it was truly one of my favorite experiences.

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!

Nanny Amy
"Amy made a natural connection quickly with our 4 year old son and has been our go-to babysitter for 1 year and a half now. She engages with him and keeps him well entertained. He is not quick to trust new people, so we were ready for her to be challenged. She handled him very well. She is trustworthy and takes her job seriously. We recommend her to everyone!"
- Sonya
Nanny Amy
"I am still working with Amy but I wanted to let everyone know how highly I would recommend her. She has done overnights with my 3 year old special needs son, and then took care of my one week old baby over multiple overnights when I had to unexpectedly go back to the hospital - she handled everything perfectly and is the only one I trust with kids now!"

Nanny Alexis
