Dear Family,    Thank you for your consideration in making the pivotal decision to hire, not only a nanny, but a full-time friend, mentor, and asset to you and yours.  I know the process can be a difficult one, and I hope I can offer comfort and confidence in knowing that I am capable, experienced, and available to offer the fullest extent of my effort and energy.     Being the youngest of four boys, it is in my blood to be a part of something beyond myself.  Always aspiring to learn and grow beyond my years, I experienced early, the joy in teaching others to do the same.  It was in this high-energy environment that I cultivated an appreciation for collaboration, patience, and unconditional love.  I carry these three tools with me in both my professional and personal relationships.    Coming back from a year abroad in Germany in 2009, Read more I was fortunate enough to find work as an everyday, after-school nanny for an Austrian family living in Madison, Wisconsin. We played sports, music, and fabricated fictional worlds on a daily basis. This experience was the catalyst in the story, which has become my life.    The next year, I was offered a position as a full-time German speaking nanny for another family in Madison, again being able to offer my interests in language, music and nature connection.  It was clear to me already then, that I was best served in being of service to others, and being a mentor for those just beginning to discover.   After some summers spent leading kayak expeditions and tours, all the while continuing to tutor privately, I knew that being a full-time asset to the right family could again be the path for me.  After searching online in various places around the country, I decided to look in Seattle, near my brother.  Right away, I found a fantastic family looking for a full-time nanny, and it just so happened that their kids were preparing to leave for Germany the following summer, and that their Dad was an experienced musician.  I applied for the job, and got a call a few hours later.  A couple phone calls and interviews later, I was on the plane to Seattle before Thanksgiving.  This experience was so amazing, equal parts challenging and rewarding.  I know that mentoring children is my calling, and one that I hope to continue to explore and develop forever.   I look forward to hearing and meeting you in the near future.  Sincerely, Keith

Trust & safety
