A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jessica but everyone calls me Ikka. I love kids, animals, sci-fi, art, vintage stuff and costuming. I have been a nanny, household manager, after school art lead and montessori teacher assistant totaling over 14 years of experience. Working with kids and families is my passion. I consistently expand my education on compassionate childcare techniques and children are my biggest teachers. I am knowledgeable of Montessori, RIE, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf techniques. I love this job because it keeps me mindful, humble and seeing the world through their eyes keeps me constantly amazed by the world. I love building forts, making endless cardboard creations, art projects and educational outings. I love cooking and making snack monsters. I believe in learning through play, natural consequences and learning moments instead of punishment. I use division of responsibility at meal time to create healthy food mindsets.

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Building forts and cardboard creations. crafts. Outings to the park or zoo. Bubbles on the beach, pretending we are construction workers or having a tea party. Legos are always fun. Baking and science projects (kinda the same thing when you think about it) hearing their silly jokes.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being mindful and patient. All kids are good kids they just need help figuring out thing. Are they having a tantrum because they are hungry or overwhelmed? Is something bothering them or are they nervous. Kids only act out to communicate something they don't have the words for.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for kids with ADHD, autism, diabetes, sleep apnea and epilepsy.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Last week I hung out with one of my old nanny kids and she said she loved me more than Minecraft. Probably the highest complement I have ever received.

Natalie S. - Seeking Work in Seattle

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Seattle, WA: Natalie S.

Hi families,

My name is Natalie and I would love to be your next nanny! I have taken care of primarily infants and toddlers for over 9 years in various childcare settings (including Montessori schools) where I have taken care of up to 4 infants at one time on my own throughout the day. I managed each of their routines and feeding schedules while maintaining a clean classroom environment and worked on their developmental skills with each infant.

I am a patient and calm person, which is just what young children need who are experiencing the world for the first time need.

I began nannying in 2023, and have found joy in being able to get outside with them, as it was not always possible while working with infants in a school environment. This is something I value greatly, as each child deserves to experience nature everyday. I would love to connect and look forward to hearing from you!

Amanda S. - Seeking Work in Seattle

Live-In Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Seattle, WA: Amanda S.

Hello! My name is Amanda 😊
This feels like I am filling out a personal add or dating profile haha. I love the beach and music. I will cook ALL the time and really like organizing and running errands.. I know that is different. I will be completely honest and let you know that I am coming back to nannying after being in the dental field for some time. I was working part time as a nanny for a few years before the pandemic but that was mostly just once a week so that we could spend time together.
I have had Covid 3 times and it was brutal. After that I just decided.. I want to do what I love. I looked back at my life and, I love being a nanny. I have taken care of babies, children, elderly people, and people with special needs and disabilities since I was 11. And that is not an exaggeration.
I am the oldest of 7 (mixed family)
I was a preschool teacher, I was a pediatric dental assistant, I’ve taken all of the first aid and cpr classes.
Ultimately though comes down to connection.
