About Amanda
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I can provide structure and care for children ranging in age from infant to 8 years of age. I prepare daily activity plan which might include physical activities, art projects (both cultural and/or themed), reading, singing and dancing. I utilize conflict resolution skills. I create art-based and physical activities for children to develop their educational and motor skills. My college coursework focused on: * Child Growth and Development * Child Care Health, Safety and Nutrition * Child Psychology, Adolescent Psychology * Psychological Problems of Contemporary Family * Behavior Problems of Children * Social and Emotional Development * Theories of Learning and Cognition

Amanda has worked for our family for four years, since my youngest was an infant. Amanda has always been more than just a capable nanny for us: she is prompt and reliable - in four years I have never been left to find another sitter due to cancellation. Amanda is gentle and kind with our three children (currently aged 8, 5 and 4) and great with our dog as well! She pays attention to my kid's interests, reads and sings with them (which they adore!), is always up to take them to the park, play outside, pickup from friends houses or school, even take them out for dinner! When I mention to the kids that my husband and I are going to be out for the night, they are always happy to hear that Amanda is coming. I have even been told that they wish I would sing to them at bedtime the way she does. I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda to any family. She is able to handle multiple children, bedtimes, overnight visits, pets, and is a safe driver.
