Hi! I’m Mara, an experienced nanny who grew up in a big family with eight kids, so I’ve been around and comfortable with children my whole life. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 15 and have cared for kids of all ages, from infants to older children. I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and loving environment for them! I’m available on weekdays with some weekend availability as well, and I’m happy to help with daily routines, light household tasks, and I’m comfortable with pets in the home. Feel free to reach out I’d love to see if we would be a good match! 😊

I am originally from Tennessee. I am the a proud mom of a 9 year old daughter, a 24 year old daughter and a 30 year old son! I have spent the majority of my life caring for and raising up children. I have nannied consistently for one family for the last 9 years, ranging over the years from full time to part time. When I started there was only one child and now there are 3! I am a lover of humans, tiny humans, animals, nature, gardening, and books. I use a peaceful, loving approach to childcare and love to just be silly! I would love to hang out with your little ones...i enjoy snuggling, hugs, reading, make-believe, language development, arts & crafts and music & dance. I am also willing and available to negotiate rates for help with any aspect of home management: be it cooking, caring for pets, cleaning, laundry or organizing! I am also open and accepting of blended families ♡ I owned a cleaning business for 10 years in Nashville, before moving to Washington. I have enjoyed many lovely, constructive interpersonal relationships with my clients throughout the years. I greatly enjoy networking in my community and building meaningful long-lasting relationships. I can also be flexible with my rates, depending on your budget. Finding the right fit and building authentic relationships are my utmost priority. I'm available for a part time schedule and can be super flexible. I would love the option to integrate my 9 year old into our care arrangements, although not necessary. She is very personable & enjoys making friends of all ages. I can provide abundant contact information for character references or you can have a look at my LinkedIn profile, where several of my clients have left professional recommendations. I would love the opportunity to meet and greet with you and your kiddos! I look forward to the enrichment of each of our lives as we join journeys :)

Hello, I am writing to express my interest in the upcoming nanny position. I have been a full-time nanny in Vancouver for the past 24 months and am seeking a new position as my current employer will be taking extended leave for the birth of their new baby. During my 24 months, I have engaged the child in various educational activities, including teaching her colors, counting to 20, the alphabet, and singing. I would love to talk with you about your position. I am currently looking for part time positions. Thank You, Candace I have included my letter of recommendation from my current family. February 5, 2026 To whom it may concern, I am writing this letter to recommend Candace Zettle for a nanny position. Candace has worked for us for just under 2 years now and helped us raise our daughter Lulu from the age of 6 months. I am confident she will not only be an asset to your family but also bring joy to your child/children. Throughout her time working for us, she has proven to be dependable and dedicated to the education and caring of our daughter. In fact, she has not been late a single time the entirety of her time with us. Candace has a caring and thoughtful approach when it comes to being a nanny. Our daughter has learned so much from her – from counting, learning colors, ABC’s, singing songs and much, much more. Candace does all this in a fun and engaging way. Each morning, our daughter is excited to wake up and see what fun activities Candace has in store for her today. She has truly been a blessing for us. I cannot recommend Candace highly enough. She is an exceptional nanny but more importantly, she has become part of our family. Seeing how happy our daughter is in the presence of Candace has truly been the best part. Please do not hesitate to contact us at[removed] if you need more information. Best regards, Sarah Nazer, Lulu Kazimee and Dawoud Kazimee

I grew up in Redmond Washington then moved to Vancouver Washington 4 years ago. I am currently working at Lakeshore Child Center. I decided to move back to Seattle and attend Seattle Pacific University, majoring in International Business. Now I’m transferring to Washington State University in Vancouver to finish up my degree and continue me real estate licensing. My sister and brother both had kids which expanded my love for childcare and helping them both out. I did childcare for my neighbors all throughout 2020 and worked customer service at a gym after for 3 years. I also was a Food runner/Hostess for a restaurant, and then worked at a fine dining restaurant serving and hosting as well! This summer I did an internship for a real estate agency called The Kelly Group Real Estate, which expanded my love for real estate. As I have gotten older my love for kids and having my own someday has been growing, I have taught kids at church and helped out with childcare as well. I specifically loved the aspect of teaching and watching them grow in personality and intellect!
