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!
I love a Nanny for U, I’ve been working for them for over 3 years. Not only do they look after their families, they take really good care of their nannies too. I have had nothing but great experiences with everyone in the office. ANFU, thank you!
A Note from Our Founder, Rebecca Dyk
At A Nanny For U, I’ve always believed that great childcare is about so much more than covering the hours. It’s about trust, consistency, and finding a caregiver who truly fits your family. Our full-time Mercer Island nannies provide personalized support by maintaining steady routines, encouraging learning and development, and helping children grow emotionally and socially.
My team and I take the time to understand each family’s values, schedules, and expectations so every placement feels like a natural match. From preparing healthy meals and coordinating daily activities to offering calm guidance and reassurance, our experienced, compassionate nannies become a meaningful part of the household.
With decades of experience serving families throughout the Seattle area, I know Mercer Island parents are looking for peace of mind, flexibility, and a nanny who genuinely feels like part of the family. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to with every placement.

How ANFU helps you secure your ideal job.
Nannying can be beautiful, fun, fulfilling, and sometimes exhausting work. You get to know a family deeply and help care for their greatest treasures. You are there for the good and tough days, the giggles and tears. But who cares for you and helps you navigate issues that arise?
Job Opportunities
Why get a job, when you can join a family?
Our nannies love what they do and they often tell us that they feel cared for and fulfilled.
