Hi, my name is Amanda, and I am 37. I live in Bloomington with my husband, and our rescue dog, Cami. I have my bachelor's degree in Pediatric Speech Pathology, I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have over 19 years of professional nanny experience. I completed over a dozen of child care related courses. I have a safe and reliable vehicle, with third row seating. I have a true passion and devotion to children. 
I am available to start as soon as we have a signed contract in place!
Thank you!*

Amanda was absolutely the best! It was the first time I left my toddler with someone non-family, and she made the process as anxiety-free as possible. She communicated so well beforehand, adjusted where we needed it, and sent us updates throughout the day to help ease our nerves.  I'm so appreciative of how she connected with our toddler who can have some challenges with speech and strong emotions. I can't wait to hire her for date nights! 

Amanda was such a great sitter for our little 7 week old! We needed someone to watch her for a few hours for 4 days and she was always on time (early) and super friendly. Wrote down what happened during the time (bottles, etc) and even did dishes! It was so nice to know our little one was well taken care of.

Amanda has been a nanny for my family recently. Due to other circumstances, we will not need a nanny. You and your children would be lucky to have her in your life. From the minute you meet her you know you can trust her!  She demonstrates love and amazing care for our 8 month old daughter. I am willing to give a referral if needed for her. 

Amanda is a highly qualified and loving nanny/ sitter! We have been so happy with her! She truly loves our children and our pets! Our kids are always asking when she will come over again.

Amanda is really great. With twin newborns, it's hard to leave them with anyone and trust your kids are safe, but meeting Amanda we were both immediately put at ease. She is truly a professional and a kind person and our boys love her . Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trustworthy care taker

We hired Amanda to watch our 2.5 year old for an evening and our daughter loved her and our dog! She was very eager to interact with our little girl and she loved our dog.  She sent text updates and even a picture of our dog snuggling with her while we were gone.  You can tell she loves what she does and  takes her job seriously.  Would definitely hire her again!

My daughter had SO much fun with Amanda.  Can't wait to have her babysit again!  (The pets loved her too!)

My husband and I hired Amanda to watch our 10 month old daughter while we were in town for a wedding. From our first email exchange, Amanda was an absolute professional. She arrived exactly on time which allowed me to not be rushed as I gave her instructions and acquainted her with my daughter. Amanda was sweet with our little one from the start and engaged her immediately. She was also a great sport about having to watch our daughter in a hotel - not exactly the most versatile circumstances! She took detailed notes so we would know exactly how their evening went when we returned. My daughter woke in a great mood and I could tell had a great time. She even like Amanda enough to snuggle her which is pretty amazing since she is quite attached to Mama and Dada! Amanda was just an overall superstar and my only complaint is I will most likely not have many other opportunities to hire her as we do not live in Minneapolis! I could not have been happier with this hire.

Amanda was great with our 2 year old son! He warmed up to her right away and was trying to show off for her within five minutes of sitting down with her. When we left he just waved and said "bye," which is huge for him. Our dog loved her too. Our son and our dog were fighting for lap space from Amanda as we were leaving. We were very comfortable leaving our son with Amanda and she was very professional.

Amanda has been watching our 3 year old son for the past two years.  She is very good with him.  We trust her in every way and recommend her as a nanny.  She's great with children of all ages.  

Amanda babysit for my 8 year old daughter and she loved her! Amanda was reliable and dependable and I will definitely use her again!
