Caring for children has been my passion for over 10 years. I started babysitting at 13, volunteered with children at church throughout high school, and have built my career around professional childcare ever since. From 2[removed], I worked as a live-in au pair in the United States, caring for children full-time. After returning to Germany, I continued working as a full-time nanny for three children while attending university. I later returned to the U.S. as a live-in nanny and now work as a professional nanny. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and with families of many different sizes. Beyond childcare, I've managed daily routines, prepared meals, driven children to activities, helped with homework, taught early reading skills, supported potty training, organized household tasks, and served as a household manager and family assistant. My childcare philosophy is built on patience, consistency, and respect. I believe children deserve to be listened to and spoken to with kindness. I set clear expectations while taking the time to explain things in a way they can understand, helping them build confidence, independence, and strong communication skills. Families describe me as dependable, calm, organized, and genuinely invested in helping their children thrive. Whether you need ongoing care or dependable last-minute backup care, I'll provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for your children.

“My girls immediately took to Tiffany. There was no hesitation or shyness. Her background as a teacher shone through when she got them into arts and crafts right away. I came home to some beautiful artwork and two tired and happy kiddos! Tiffany is personable, respectful and kind. I will 100% be hiring her again.”
Hello! My name is Britt, and I'm a kind and reliable caregiver based in Everett, Washington. I have 10 years of childcare experience, including 6 years as a full-time nanny and household manager to a family with 3 children. I bring with me a range of experience, caring for newborns through age 16. I offer live-out nanny/sitter services on an occasional basis. My goal is to establish relationships with a few local families who need a trusted person as-needed, or as a backup in a pinch. My experience will bring you peace of mind that your kiddos are in caring hands. I strive to help parents by providing a safe and playful space for their kiddos, ensuring needs are met. I understand that each child is a unique individual who needs to be met where they are at. I have experience with children who are highly sensitive, have ADHD, and high-functioning autism. I am CPR and first-aid certified, and have experience in crisis prevention and intervention. Whether its reading stories, making art, exploring the outdoors, building with Legos, or snuggling up for a movie, I am enthusiastic and ready to engage in whatever ways your child enjoys. I love implementing creative activities and encourage curiosity through play and hands-on learning. If you need a dependable, trustworthy caregiver, feel free to message me. I would love to discuss your needs and the way I can help your family.
