Two men allegedly broke into the home, located in Seattle, Washington, in the early hours of Saturday morning via a patio door, according to a police report seen by the Fox affiliate KCPQ-TV.
The nanny claimed she had her phone stolen and was thrown to the ground.
One man reportedly demanded: 'Where are the jewels b***h?'
She claimed that one of the intruders looked scared after she was sprayed, as per The Seattle Times.
She is believed to have ushered the two men to one of the bedrooms inside the property.
The masked men, who were wearing black outfits, vests, and face masks, allegedly stole jewelry, watches and shoes.
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.
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.
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 Seattle Police Department for comment.
