I was so amazed at the responsiveness of this company. They made me feel very welcomed right away! I feel safe and able to ask questions at any time, not to mention so very nice!
I have used Rebecca and her team to find two amazing nannies for our toddler – one was with us from the time our son was an infant to 2 years old and nanny #2 just started and is already an incredible match.
I reached out to A Nanny for U looking for a job opportunity and they responded to me extremely promptly. I can tell they really care about the quality of nanny they choose to represent their company, showing a great concern for the families they service.
A Nanny For U is a fantastic place to work with a great community of women behind it!

A Note from Our Founder, Rebecca Dyk
After more than three decades working with families across Seattle, I know how important it is to feel completely at ease with the person caring for your children. That sense of confidence is at the heart of every match we make.
I’ve always believed that exceptional childcare is built on the confidence that your Seattle nanny is truly the right fit for your family, not just a schedule filler.
At A Nanny For U, every placement we make is shaped by a deep understanding of the household’s rhythms, expectations, and values. For Seattle families, that often means finding a nanny who can bring both structure and flexibility, while supporting your child’s growth in a calm, consistent way.
Our Seattle nannies do more than manage day-to-day care. They help create steady routines, encourage healthy development, and bring a thoughtful presence into the home, whether that’s preparing meals, guiding activities, or simply offering reassurance throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does hiring a nanny through an agency work?
Our process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your family’s needs, schedule, and childcare preferences. We then match you with carefully screened Seattle nanny candidates, arrange interviews, and support you through selection and placement to ensure the right long-term fit.
Do you run background checks on nannies?
Every nanny we represent is thoroughly vetted before placement, to ensure families are introduced only to qualified, trustworthy caregivers.
What are the benefits of working with a Seattle nanny agency?
Hiring a nanny directly means managing the search, screening, and vetting yourself, which can be stressful and very time consuming. Partnering with a nanny agency gives Seattle families access to pre-screened candidates, professional matching support, and guidance throughout the hiring process to reduce risk and save time.
What is a nanny share?
A nanny share involves two or more families sharing one nanny, splitting both the cost and care arrangement. It can be a more affordable option, but requires aligned schedules, parenting styles, and clear agreements between families.
How long does it take to find a Seattle nanny?
The timeline varies depending on your needs, but most families working with A Nanny For U are matched within a few weeks to two months. More specialized roles or highly specific requirements may take longer.
What types of Seattle nanny services do you offer?
We support a range of Seattle nanny placements including full-time, part-time, temporary care, newborn care specialists, event nannies, and household staffing solutions tailored to each family’s needs.
Ready to Find the Right Fit for Your Family?
Every family is different, and so is every placement we make. Whether you’re looking for full-time childcare or an experienced household professional, our team is here to guide you through every step of the process. We’ll take the time to understand your family’s needs and carefully match you with a caregiver you can feel confident welcoming into your home.
