A little bit about me
Hi there! I am a long-time resident of the pnw and a lifelong lover of all things outdoors, moving to the Seattle Area in March! I've had the pleasure of nannying on and off for 8 years with up to five children at a time. In the past, I've also spent time as a Camp Counselor, an orphanage nanny, a volunteer at the MaryBridge Children's Hospital, and a volunteer music teacher. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have nannied four newborns into their early toddler years. I'm a proud auntie of three little boys and graduated in 2021 from Western Washington University with a BA in Communications and a BA in Political Science. I am currently a nanny for a darling 9 month old but will be moving to the Seattle area in march for my husband's job. I'm vaxed, boosted, and would love to chat!

A little bit about me
Hello My name is Zainab! I have been working as a nanny and child care provider for a little over 4 years now. I am also currently working a home Daycare in Des Moines, WA, which i really love. I am fluent in English and Somali. I am also going to school for Business Technology and to teach outside the country. I truly believe that it does take a village to rise a child in order for that child to grow in a safe, and loving environment. I believe it’s crucial for not only the child, but for the parents as well.

A little bit about me
Hi!
My name is Sarah and I currently work for a non-profit, but am thinking about taking a break and going back to nannying due to burn-out. A year ago, I graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in psychology and am looking to go back to school eventually to pursue my Masters in Social Work.
In my free time I love to bake/cook, hike, ski (anything outside)! I have always loved working with children and have been babysitting since I was twelve. I have additional experience with infants after helping take care of my baby sister a few years ago! Feel free to message me if you think we might be a good fit, and I look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me
Hi Seattle families! My name is Marissa (she/her) and I am looking for a family to nanny for. I am a former preschool teacher, and recently left my nanny role in Spokane to hike the Appalachian Trail and then move to Seattle. I also have experience working with children who are neurodivergent and I have taken courses in trauma-informed care. I have a Bachelor's degree with course credits in child development and educational psychology.
While nannying I work to create consistent routines, spend lots of time outdoors, cultivate kindness and warmth, and create and sustain positive and meaningful relationships with children and their families. I am open to light housework and cooking. I am certified in safe sleep, & CPR and first aid (wilderness, too!).
Some of my hobbies are hiking, quilting, and reading! My future aspirations include getting my master's in social work and working with children as a mental health professional.
Feel free to send me a message anytime!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Lola, and I’d love to be your nanny.
I’m 20 (almost 21!) and entering my senior year at the University of Washington, where I’m double majoring in Chinese and History. I’ve always loved being around kids. I'm the oldest sibling and cousin, so I’ve had years of experience caring for children of all ages.
Throughout high school and college, I babysat and worked as a lifeguard, becoming a manager and certified pool operator. That role gave me experience with water safety and working with kids in high-energy environments. I’m also First Aid certified and value creating a fun, safe, and engaging space for children.
Outside of childcare, I’m passionate about reading, music, traveling, and history!
While I don’t have a car, I do have a driver’s license and four years of safe driving experience. I’m responsible, creative, and always excited to support families however I can.
I’d love to find a great family to nanny for! Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

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!"
