About Amanda

Experience: 10 yrs

I have over 10 years of experience with kids of all ages, from babysitting, nannying, running children theatre, camp counselor and most recently working helping run educational nature programs for children. I am a big supporter of child led learning through play. It is how kids process and grow. Outside adventures are my jam. Nature hike, creek stomping, playground hopping- everything is better outdoors! I am not a cruise director, I do not provide constant entertainment. But I provide opportunities and encouragement to use imagination and creativity. I strongly believe in being an active observer- I to be present mentally, emotionally and physically to connect and learn and grow with the kids I'm with. I am mom to a lovely 4-year-old, who on occasion may need to come with me (when school is closed).

Amanda is the best. She's been a full-time nanny to our and our neighbor's daughters for over a year, and brings a joyful energy and positivity every day. She keeps the girls active and exploring with multiple daily outings, finding the perfect balance of structure and spontaneity. She's gone above and beyond countless times (making her own finger paints! conjuring an inflatable pool! apple picking!), truly loves the girls, and has my complete trust. We've been unbelievably lucky to know her.
