Why Support Local Farmers?
Supporting local farmers markets has numerous benefits:
• Strengthening the Local Economy: Purchasing directly from farmers ensures that a larger portion of your food dollar stays within the community, supporting local agriculture and related businesses.
• Environmental Sustainability: Local farming practices often involve reduced transportation and packaging, leading to a smaller carbon footprint and less environmental impact.
• Access to Fresh and Nutritious Produce: Locally grown foods are typically harvested at peak ripeness, offering superior taste and nutritional value compared to produce that has traveled long distances.
• Community Engagement: Farmers markets serve as community gathering spaces, fostering relationships between consumers and producers and promoting a sense of community.
By visiting these markets, you not only enjoy fresh and delicious food but also contribute to the vitality and sustainability of Seattle’s local agriculture.

We’re thrilled to share this heartfelt review from one of our valued families:
“A Nanny for U has been incredible! Finding someone you can trust to care for your children can be so stressful—I personally spent hours searching apps and Facebook groups without success. Reaching out to ANFU was the best decision I made. Rebecca and her team are amazing! They take the time to get to know your family, provide multiple vetted candidates, and guide you through the process to find the perfect match.
Thanks to them, we found our incredible long-term nanny, who has been with us for over a year. She’s unbelievably caring, beyond helpful, and most importantly, loves our little boy. On the rare occasion our nanny takes time off, the ANFU team is responsive and supportive, seamlessly arranging short-term care. Their professionalism and dedication have made such a positive impact on our lives. We truly cannot recommend them enough!”*
Thank you for trusting us with your family’s care! 💖

Finding the right nanny for your family is more than just a hiring process—it’s about creating a partnership that supports your child’s growth and your family’s needs. Here are some key traits to look for in a professional nanny:
✅ Experience Matters: Look for 2-4 years of stable childcare experience with references. This ensures your nanny has the skills to handle various situations with confidence.
✅ Safety First: CPR & First Aid certifications are essential. A nanny trained in safety gives you peace of mind.
✅ More Than Childcare: Professional nannies often assist with child-related tasks like:
• Laundry 🧺
• Meal prep 🍎
• Organizing toys 🧸
✅ Engagement is Key: A great nanny fosters creativity and growth through fun, educational activities tailored to your child’s interests.
✅ Clear Communication: A nanny who communicates openly and directly ensures a harmonious relationship with your family.
At A Nanny For U, we take pride in connecting families with highly qualified nannies who meet these standards and more. 💕
