A little bit about me

I'm Miles, a professional manny with 16 years of experience. My passion is building strong, professional bonds with families to ensure their children receive the highest quality care and attention.

My journey began as a mother's helper in 2007. In 2011, after being mentored by a friend who was an experienced nanny, I began the first part of my career as a nanny. I worked at Whole Foods as a cashier from 2013 to 2018 while nannying part time on the side. In 2018, I left Whole Foods to make nannying my full time career and I've loved every minute of my journey.

I love getting to be in a child's world and set up activities that help them learn just how amazing the world is. I take my role very seriously, making a solid effort to ensure children are not only safe and well-cared for but are also having a blast in each activity they do. This is the most rewarding career I could ever imagine!

Note: I'm happy to pass a background check upon request!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Most of my experience with children has been through nanny work but I've also worked as an assistant teacher at a daycare. I was a volunteer camp counselor in high school. I taught cooking classes for children in Guatemala. I volunteered at the YMCA many times in the early days of my career. I volunteered with an organization in Seattle called Seattle Tilth(now Tilth Alliance) that teaches children about farming and gardening.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Indoor: I am a musician so what of my favorite things to do with children is engage in some kind of music play using shakers, maracas, or even approved pots and pans and make music. I have a little keyboard I like to bring and I've even had little jam sessions with kids and it's one of the sweetest experiences. I also enjoy any kind of art project like finger painting, with older kids collages can be fun or building a bug hotel. I once had a kid make a small house for a snail we found (the snail was not harmed).

Outdoor:
Playing in the water table/sandbox, going to a playground, I've taken kids on kid-friendly hikes, drawing with chalk, making a car wash for toy cars, kicking a ball around in the yard, taking a walk in the neighborhood and more.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being reliable, available and responsible. Parents depend on their nanny to show up and take excellent care of their child and so it's crucial for nannies to show up ready to jump into action. It's the nanny's job to set a good example and prove to parents that they can trust you not only with their child and animals but in their home. I treat a family's home as a sacred space. The bond between nannies and parents is as important as the bond between nannies and children. I like to create what I call a professional friendship with parents which also includes respectable boundaries and room for improvement. Being a nanny is a very intimate job so it's important to come to work with your full heart, an open mind and excitement for the day ahead. Children love fun nannies and so making an effort to be fun and silly with kids allows for the bonds to get stronger overtime! Be approachable!
