Find nannies in Manchester, WA

Hi! I’m Laura, a 23-year-old caregiver with 5 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I genuinely love spending time with kids and creating a safe, fun environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going on walks, and finding activities that keep kids engaged and active. I’m patient, attentive, and always try to match each child’s personality and needs. I’m also a big animal lover (especially dogs!), so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets and happy to help with pet care too. In addition to childcare, I can help with light cleaning, organizing, and running errands to make your day a little easier. I’m reliable, responsible, and always aim to make families feel they can trust me with their home and their kids.

Peace to you! My name is Abba. I grew up in Port Orchard, and have spent most of my adult life in Seattle. I enjoy being active and exploring my environment, which is what has always drawn me to child care! I most recently nannied a sweet and energetic 2 year old and had been working with the same family since October 2022. I’ve worked at kids camps, baby sat for years, and have 12 nieces and nephews whom I have often taken care of and helped raise. My favorite part about childcare is the excitement children often bring to any kind of activity, there is so much learning, exploring, and growing happening in our early years . As an adult its nice to be reminded of the everyday 'awes' of being a human! Not to mention, a privilege to take part in so many of someone’s “firsts”. I truly feel fulfilled in spending time and caring for children, and value mutual respect between kids and care-givers. I implement developmentally appropriate activities of all kinds into daily routines, to encourage habitual learning. I am an artist, which translates into fun crafts and sensory exploration activities for kids! I love the outdoors rain or shine and don’t mind facilitating activities that may be deemed “messy”. Additionally, I have a deep love of gardening and growing food, as well as participating in various forms of community. I value respect and care between myself and parents, as we are a team! I would love to chat and get to know you and your family, I also have a detailed resume I can share, I encourage you to reach out! Adult/Infant CPR & First Aid certified

Hi- My name is Dylan! I enjoy partnering with parents to ensure children receive the nurturing, consistency, care, and fun they need. I am a kid at heart and love to get down on the floor (or up in a play structure) to play with kids, encouraging their imagination, doing age appropriate science and art projects, adventuring outdoors, and facilitating their brain development through play, reading, and singing. It is important to me to model empathy, respect, and acceptance with the goal of empowering children to solve problems. Additionally, I am very skilled at multi-tasking and time management to ensure the safety and well being of all children in my care. Biggest strength: I give kids the attention they deserve! I am regularly referred to by parents as the 'kid whisperer' or 'Pied Piper.' While some believe I have magical powers (especially toddlers!), in truth, I am simply present and attuned to their needs and wants, through the laughter and tears. Experience: I have over 15 years experience as a babysitter and nanny for children birth to 12 years, providing care for up to 5 children at a time in the family's home and traveling. Including extensive 24/7 care for parent work/fun trips, Philosophy: I feel strongly about following the family's routine and general style of parenting for consistency and a sense of safety for your kid(s). With that said, I engage a gentle parenting style and natural consequences rather than punishment, do not engage kids with screens (with minor exceptions), and love to help tidy, if you are open. Specifics: I have experience as a newborn night nanny, birth and postpartum doula. I have worked with single parent, blended, multiracial & LGBTQ+ families. I have worked with preemies, newborns, twins, neurodivergence (ADD/ADHD, autism, OCD), food allergies/special diets, and trauma (medical, bullying, and DV). Neurodivergence Experience: Nonverbal (with and without comm boards), toileting, care/support during meltdowns, sensory seeking, special food prep. Animals: I love them! Happy to pet, potty, and feed your fur family as well. Or ignore, in the case of an aloof kitty :-) Education: BA: Leadership & Human Services Antioch U - Seattle (2014) Infant/Child CPR/First Aid - 12/25 Newborn Care Specialist Certificate - 12/25 Work History: 10+ years in social work directly supporting homeless youth, mental illness and SUD in homeless adults, and medically fragile individuals. Happy to share ample glowing references!
