Jamie loves being a Bellevue Summer Nanny because she makes a lasting positive impact on children!

"I am a young, passionate, smart, and fun person. I have been a nanny for well over 12 years and I have been full time since 2005. I have an overflowing amount of love for the children I take care of and I treat each as though they were my own child. Every family I have ever worked for has loved me as if I am a member of their family and still keep in touch today - in fact, many were guests at my wedding. I absolutely love being around children and that is why I fill my schedule with taking care of them. Currently I nanny 65 hours a week, 7 days a week, and I am spread among 4 different families, but I am hoping to streamline my schedule and become a professional Bellevue Summer Nanny instead of worrying about a lot of coordination. If I were asked to describe in one sentence the reason, I have chosen to be in the nanny profession over any other it would have to be because I love children. I am high energy, happy, and loving and I honestly cannot think of a profession that suits my personality better. I love teaching children and helping them learn, I love helping them grow. I love playing, laughing, and giving children love. Something I absolutely love is walking in to work first thing in the morning and hearing the sound of tiny feet running across the floor followed by giant hugs and smiles. I cannot imagine my mornings any other way. I feel the children are BLESSINGS. They are special, capable, unique, smart, and perfect in their own ways. They are also a joy to be around. My goal is to make every child feel important and loved, to do the best I can to create a loving and safe environment, and to care for each child as is they were my own. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes I am willing to do anything possible as long as it doesn’t affect my ability to properly take care of the children. Children’s happiness and safety are my top priority. I prefer a nice and clean environment, but the children are always my first on my list of importance. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives, I would say that I am caring, fun, intelligent, responsible, and happy. I love socializing the children with others through classes or play dates. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me I would hope they would be kind, caring, and hoping to add a member to their family instead of just an employee. I like to be an appreciated person in a family built on love and trust for everyone.”

“Jamie was above and beyond. We moved – she was so flexible. We had to bounce in between houses. There were days when we couldn’t be in the new house and she was just like “okay!” and took the boys out. Both of my sons are now in school, so it was just a natural progression that we no longer needed her as a Bellevue Summer Nanny. I totally trusted her to take them to museums and or the park. She never ever called out sick – which was huge! This is her profession; she has that certain degree of professionalism that they we were really drawn to. This is her passion. Would I recommend Jamie? Absolutely.”

“Jamie started working with our family right after our son's first birthday. I had gone back to work part time when he was four months old and my husband was taking care of him 3 days/week while trying to start his own business. We had been searching for the right Bellevue Summer Nanny for our family for many months and began to get very frustrated. Jamie answered our ad on Sitter City, and we were both so impressed when we met her! She was very professional, well spoken, and engaging. In addition, she had a tremendous amount of experience for her age. It was obvious to us that she loves children and our son took to her immediately during the interview! Jamie had taken wonderful care of our son. She is extremely caring, energetic, flexible, and has been consistent with our parenting style. She is always interactive and creative, whether it is taking a walk, playing games or doing art work. Jamie's educational background in Early Childhood education has been a huge benefit as well, as she has used her knowledge to teach our son from the very beginning. He learned several of his letters and most of his colors by the time he was 18 months old! We were very anxious about leaving our son with anyone other than family, but Jamie always communicates well with us and we feel completely comfortable when our son is in her care. She has become a part of our family! We would highly recommend her nanny services to anyone!”

“We have known Jamie for five years. We were first introduced to her through a recommendation as a Bellevue Summer Nanny from a mutual acquaintance when we were looking for a nanny for our first child. After meeting her, we immediately hired her, and she has been a part of our lives since. First, she served as a part-time nanny and mother's helper for 18 months until our first daughter began pre-school. By that time, our second daughter was on the way. We employed Jamie as a full-time "baby nurse- for the first two weeks of our newborn's life. Subsequently, Jamie was again a part-time nanny with us until the younger daughter began preschool at 12 months. Since we have known her, Jamie has cared for us every single Saturday evening. In addition, on many occasions she has stayed with our daughters in our home and cared for them when we have been away for business or vacation. When the entire family has been away, she has house- sat for us and cared for our dog. Our daughters are now ages five and a half and three and a half and Jamie's reliability has been unwavering. We consider her an important part of our family and an integral part of our weekly routine. To say we completely trust her would be an understatement. She is a kind, warm and caring nanny who attends to all or our children's needs. Moreover, she is an educator who has nurtured the development of our girls. They simply adore spending time with her, and we know that the time spent is quality time. Among her talents with children, she has fostered their creativity with many varied arts and crafts projects. She has played sports with them in our backyard. She has taken our daughters on "adventures" to places including Grounds for Sculpture, Longwood Gardens, the Philadelphia Zoo, The New Jersey State Aquarium and many family restaurants. She has taken our children to and from school, to their routine activities like swimming lessons and music class, and she has accompanied them to their friends' birthday parties. Jamie is completely trust-worthy, and her judgment is always sound. We never worry when she is caring for our children. In sum, she is an outstanding nanny with whom we entrust with the welfare and safety of our children and our home.”

“Jamie came highly recommended from a neighbor and, after meeting Jamie, it was obvious why. From the onset, Jamie was proactive, ensuring she understood our style of parenting she made a concerted effort to follow our 'house rules.' Both my husband and I very much appreciated this. She provided wonderful support and stability for my youngest daughter as well as my oldest daughter, when she was not in school. Jamie was positive, enthusiastic, nurturing and totally focused on my children. Safety was always a priority for Jamie. She provided many learning opportunities for my youngest such as working with her on her letters/numbers, how to share, etc. Jamie was also a strong proponent of learning through play and this was a very successful method with a toddler/preschooler. I would highly recommend Jamie as a Bellevue Summer Nanny. Both of my daughters grew to love her very much and they still speak frequently of her.”

“Jamie’s primary responsibility was for my two children Samuel and Audrey. She cared for our son from the time he was 3 months old until he was nearly 4, and for our daughter from birth until age 1. She had responsibility for their total well-being, including feeding, changing, cleaning, bathing and other related tasks. During her employment with us, Jamie executed her responsibilities with professionalism, candor and care. We had full trust in her competency and integrity. She was especially helpful during my deployment to Iraq when she shouldered much of the burden of childcare for my wife while I was gone. We can truly say her service as a Bellevue Summer Nanny was invaluable and excellent. Aside from being our "go-to nanny" she was also a friend.”

“Jamie is one of the best people I know. She is kind, loving, and affectionate. You can always tell how much she loves the children that she watches and takes care of. She is a great Bellevue Summer Nanny and knows how to handle almost any situation you throw at her with ease and remain calm and collected. She has never been one to judge, and you can talk to her about anything and everything. She will help you as best as she can. She is a wonderful influence on children. She remains calm in high stress situations and tries to talk through it to get/keep the other party calm as well. When I have children, she will be a huge part of their lives so they know unconditional love.”

“Jamie and I have been married a little over two years and have been together for over eleven years. I could not have picked a better person to spend the rest of my life with. She has been taking care of children since before I even met her, and she is the most caring, loving, hard-working nanny imaginable. The children always come first with her as she cares for them, educates them, and keeps them active and happy. Her dedication is truly admirable, as she is constantly working many hours alternating amongst multiple families. I cannot envision a better mother for our future children, which is just another reason I was so excited to marry her. Childcare has always been a primary objective in her life and her experience, dedication, and loving ways would be invaluable to any families seeking a Bellevue Summer Nanny to care for their children.”
