Meet college nannies and sitters from Washington State University

Hello, I'm Adrianna, I have a bachelor's degree in Human Development with a certification in Early Childhood Education. I have over 10 years of experience working with children of diverse abilities in different settings including nannying, lead preschool teacher, and childcare director. I have a car, I am infant and child CPR certified. I am lots of fun and can't wait to meet you and your family!

Caring for others comes naturally to me. As a Substitute Education Support Professional for Tacoma Public Schools, I work closely with children from preschool to high school, including those with special needs, providing patience, guidance, and support every day. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Humanities from Washington State University, which has strengthened my ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I believe in creating a warm, safe environment—whether it’s helping a child learn, offering companionship to a senior, or making sure pets feel loved and cared for. I’m dependable, empathetic, and always ready to lend a helping hand.

Caring for others has always been a constant in my life. I grew up babysitting and became involved in mentor programs starting at age 14, which set the foundation for my love of working with children, families, and people of all ages. I have extensive experience with older children and teens through my role as a mentor with Rainier Athletes, where I support high school students with goal-setting, confidence-building, emotional regulation, and navigating everyday challenges. I’m especially comfortable building trust with older kids and being a steady, positive role model. In college, I worked internationally as an au pair in Spain, teaching English and supporting a local family, and later became a live-in nanny in London for a one- and three-year-old. These roles gave me hands-on experience with early childhood routines, developmental milestones, structure, and patience—while also teaching me adaptability, communication, and cultural sensitivity. I also have experience with seniors and caregiving environments. My mother is a hospice caregiver, so I grew up around senior care and understand the importance of compassion, dignity, and attentiveness when supporting older adults. In addition, I am extremely comfortable with pets and home care. I’m a former member of TrustedHousesitters and have traveled internationally caring for homes and animals, managing everything from daily routines and medications to long-term stays. Animals are a joy for me, and I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. Personality-wise, families describe me as: • Warm, calm, and empathetic • Responsible and dependable • Fun, engaging, and emotionally aware • Great at communication and boundaries I’m someone who takes caregiving seriously while still bringing humor, creativity, and genuine care into every role. Whether I’m supporting kids, seniors, or pets, my goal is always the same: to make people feel safe, supported, and truly cared for.
