About Amanda

Experience: 4 yrs

Hi there! My name is Amanda, and I bring over 4 years of hands-on childcare experience through my work as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and babysitter where I prioritized safety, fun, and confidence-building in children of all ages. I've also spent the last 4 years working as a certified EMT, giving me extensive experience in emergency response and child safety. Recently, I graduated from Columbia University studying public health in humanitarian settings, where I served as a teaching assistant for public health courses. I'm passionate about creating safe, nurturing environments for children to thrive, whether that means offering homework help, active play, or structured care. I am comfortable with pets (dogs and cats) as I have a dog of my own. I'd love to connect with families who value reliability, compassion, and thoughtful engagement.

Amanda is kind and friendly. We needed someone to help us in the early weeks of postpartum and we called on Amanda to help us with our 3yo. She listened to our parenting style and practices, she adopted them well. Thank you again!!
