A little bit about me
I'm a Seattle native with 15+ years of experience caring for children from infancy to teenagers across preschool, classroom, and nanny settings. I'm experienced in creating structured, engaging days that support learning, independence, and emotional development.
I'm strong with routines, transitions, emotional regulation, and play based activities that keep kids engaged while building language, social, and developmental skills. I'm comfortable managing all aspects of daily care, including meals, naps, potty training, outings, and age appropriate activities.
I have a strong understanding of neurodivergence and believe every child benefits from being met where they are. I focus on consistency, clear boundaries, and helping children feel safe, understood, and confident.
I prioritize safety, developmental growth, and creating an environment where kids can thrive.
Looking forward to connecting!

A little bit about me
I love to be around kids, I have worked as a juvenile counselor before and have a child of my own. I know what it is like to be a working parent and I am willing to care for children in my own home. I do not have full-time availability because I am an only parent. Perhaps date nights :). I am CPR verified, I have fingerprints on file and a clean background. I am willing to nanny on my days off to help offset some of my own child care expenses. Thank you for reading and I look forward to connecting with yall!

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!"
