A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Emma, and I'm 22 years old. I'm responsible, organized, and genuinely love taking care of others. I naturally enjoy cooking, baking, keeping things tidy, planning ahead, and creating a warm, fun environment. I'm very detail-oriented and love helping families stay organized, whether that's keeping up with schedules, appointments, errands, or everyday routines. I have a patient, positive personality and love spending time outdoors, going on walks, doing crafts, reading, and finding creative ways to keep kids engaged. My goal is always to make life a little easier for parents while making sure their children feel safe, cared for, and have fun.

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!
