Elizabeth loves being a Seattle, WA Nanny because she understands the nature of caring for children!

“If I was 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 it is very rewarding, and it lets me experience firsthand the beauty of child psychology and their innocence. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 5 years and can honestly say I love what I do! I feel the children are fun, free, innocent, and amazing. My goal as a Seattle, WA Nanny is to provide the best possible care, while keeping in mind that my actions can have a permanent impact on the children who’s care I am entrusted with. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes loading and unloading the dishwasher, and doing the children’s laundry. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am smart, mature, responsible, understanding, and caring. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include homework, play dates, swimming, going to parks, museums, and site seeing. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me I would hope they would be a family that respects their employees and recognizes that just like them, they are human and need to be communicated to in the right way in order to establish a good relationship.”

“I have been privileged to have Elizabeth as our Seattle, WA Nanny. She has cared for my son and daughter since they were three and eight, respectively. I recommend her without any reservations as a childcare provider. She is intelligent, gentle, and mature. I sincerely have not known anyone with a kinder disposition. She is also very reliable and honest. She is qualified to work with children of all ages and those with special needs. She is a safe driver who takes the children to their appointments (occupational therapy, medical and dental) and on outings. She has been a cheerful and helpful traveling companion on a number of family vacations. Her dedication to us went far beyond the duties of a nanny. Without her support, we would not have been able to get through my serious illnesses and my husband's death. We consider her to be a member of the family.”

“She was our Seattle, WA Nanny (and sometimes still is for emergencies). She is absolutely wonderful, and I would recommend her to any new mom or a family with older children. She started working for us when my son was four months old and my daughter was 3 1/2. She did excellent with the baby and he has grown up to love her and my daughter still asks for “Lizzie” to come back (we call her Lizzie). She would do light cleaning and also drive the children to and from school. She has her own car and is very dependable.”

“Lizzie has worked with us for six months and has done a wonderful job and I recommend her to any family that is looking for a hardworking and caring individual to be a nanny manager. She is well qualified for the position and can step into many situations and be successful. Our children are 10 & 7 and my younger one has some special needs. I had accepted a job out of state when our previous Seattle, WA Nanny was offered an elementary school teacher position. Needing someone for just six months before moving the whole family was proving impossible until we met Lizzie. I needed someone reliable, someone that would communicate, and could handle the household as I was working elsewhere S-Th. Lizzie helped by keeping the house neat, doing laundry, grocery shopping when needed, and taking care of the children. She picked them up from the two different schools, followed our rules, took them to events and doctor/therapy appointments, incorporated therapy feedback into her interactions with the children, helped with homework, and in some cases helped with dinner. She managed the children’s schedules and ensured everyone got to where they needed to be. She was never late. Even through the tough winter we had she would show up for work. One morning she showed up and I couldn't figure out how she got to the house as our street hadn't been plowed. She simply parked at the last road that was plowed and walked into the neighborhood. She takes her job seriously and didn't accept snow or cancelled school as a reason not to show up. This saved us so many times. She is also very flexible and would change her hours if we needed help earlier in the day or in the evening. She worked patiently with my youngest to help her master her spelling words, do her reading comprehension homework, and even learned touch math to help her with math. She engaged my older one in discussions on the books he was reading and even read many of them so that they could discuss. She is very smart and that comes across to the children. Because we encouraged it, she had the children on a schedule and the homework time was important. She always reviewed and helped them get the homework back into backpacks and ready for school in the morning. As the weather has gotten nicer she takes them to the park, goes on walks, and watches them while they are outside playing. Both children enjoy having Lizzie. We requested full reports on the children and she was very open and communicative about what the children were up to and how they interacted. This was very helpful in passing on information from school at times as well. Finally, she instrumental in helping us get our house on the market and keeping it pristine while it was for sale. Not only did she help with house cleaning projects, but she would go through the house again, making sure the children’s beds were made nicely, no dust was showing, the children didn't drop something on their floor, etc. It was very helpful. She will do a wonderful job for whatever family is lucky enough to have her as their nanny and or nanny manager.”

“Elizabeth has been my best friend for 13 years and she is by far the most easy-going and understanding person I’ve ever met. Everybody who meets her likes her because although she is very smart and wise, she tends to know her place in every situation, when to talk and when to listen which I believe makes her easy to get along with. She adapts to situations easy and is very flexible. Above all, she has a natural motherly heart as a Seattle, WA Nanny. She cares about others and always sees the good in people.”
