The nanny told the intruders where the valuables were located.
She led the two men up the stairs to the second floor of the home and into a master bedroom.
The masked men, who were wearing black outfits, vests, and face masks, allegedly stole jewelry, watches and shoes.
As the men carried out the raid, the nanny was ordered to keep her arms raised and face a mirror.
She was thrown to the ground and had her cell phone snatched, according to the report.
And, one man put a boot on her ankle before moving it to the back of her neck.
She screamed so was pinned against a wall, according to police.
Three kids were inside the home at the time and they were taken to safety.
And, the nanny managed to escape the home after biting one of the men.
She bit one man after trying to kick him in the groin.
Doorbell footage, seen by the local outlet KING-TV, showed the nanny standing on a homeowner’s porch and banging on the door.
“Help, please,” she begged.
She pounded the doors of several homes begging for help, according to the outlet.
The nanny wasn’t seriously injured, police confirmed.
Cops also revealed the intruders had fled the scene by the time they arrived.
A can of bear spray and clothes were found near the home.
Macklemore, known for his 2012 track Thrift Shop, bought the property for $2.1 million in 2014.
The star has not commented on the burglary as of yet.
He has been performing in Dublin and Cork, Ireland.
In one social media post, he described the gigs in Ireland as a “homecoming.”
It comes just weeks after an intruder smashed through the gates of Jennifer Aniston’s mansion in California.
HOMES TARGETED
A string of high-profile stars have had their homes targeted in recent months.
NBA star Ja Morant was the victim of a burglary in December.
His home was targeted while he was playing for the Memphis Grizzlies against the Golden State Warriors.
Around $1 million worth of items was stolen from the property, according to cops.
American football stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were also victims of burglaries last year.
Mahomes’ wife Brittany had her designer bags and jewelry swiped.
In February, it was reported that seven people were charged over allegations they stole $2 million worth of items from properties belonging to pro-athletes.
The men are allegedly part of a South American crime ring, as per ABC News.
The U.S. Sun has approached Macklemore’s agents for comment.
