Who We Are
Unparalleled Service. Unrivaled results.
Many hard-working families so badly needed quality support but half-hearted matching services were not cutting it. The frustration for families and the need for a reliable, professional solution was glaring. So in 1994, Rebecca launched A Nanny for U and started offering unprecedented qualified and trustworthy in-home care in the Seattle area.
Through the years, her determination for quality results has led to the development of an unparalleled matching and screening process. Our team of eager and knowledgeable staff advocate for both sides, while thoroughly getting to know our families and nannies. We spend countless hours on hundreds of applicants, interviews, calls and screenings until we find the best possible match for everyone.

Rebecca Dyk
OWNER/FOUNDER
Hard work, determination and a unique ability to discern people were all gifts that Rebecca inherited from her entrepreneurial parents. Raised in the city, she broke the mold and defected to the country where she now runs a small black Angus cattle ranch.
At the age of 22, as a professional nanny herself, Rebecca Dyk had an insider’s view into the needs of both families and nannies. Many hard-working families (including her own doctor!) so badly needed quality support but half-hearted matching services were not cutting it. The frustration for families and the need for a reliable, professional solution was glaring. So in 1994, Rebecca launched A Nanny for U and started offering unprecedented qualified and trustworthy in-home care in the Seattle area.
When she’s not making matches for families and nannies across Seattle, she’s making memories with her family riding horses or running the ranch in the country.
While Rebecca loves wearing cowboy boots, she refuses to give up her city style, faithfully visiting Starbucks and Nordstrom.

Kaylee Stevie
CLIENT RELATIONS
Kaylee was raised on a farm in the Midwest where she developed her love for hard work and good people. She married a boy she met when she was 4 and they now have 3 kids and live in Ellensburg.
She’s had the privilege of homeschooling them while owning a photography business. Kaylee and her husband have a passion for the outdoors that they have passed down to their kids which means that’s most likely where you’d find them. Nothing quite makes her happy like being behind an apron or a camera, or in a river with a fly rod (when she’s lucky).
