About Amanda

Experience: 15 yrs

Hi families! I'm a career nanny with 13+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids (even longer if you count helping my mom run an infant daycare growing up!). I've worked as a preschool teacher, live-in nanny, travel nanny, and long-term family nanny, truly all things kids! I'm CPR certified, dependable, calm under pressure, and passionate about creating a safe, loving environment where children can grow into themselves. One of my favorite parts of nannying is becoming a trusted extension of the family. I love supporting parents in a way that aligns with their values and parenting style while bringing patience, creativity, fun, and connection into each day. I value kindness, communication, inclusivity, and creating welcoming environments for every child and family.

Amanda is a magical person with magical abilities for childcare, especially babies and toddlers. She was the nanny to my oldest from 8 months to 19 months before we had to move away. She also accompanied us on two international trips, including with our second kiddo who was 6 months old at the time. She is super knowledgeable, has great judgment, is creative, fun, responsible and resourceful. She has a deep love for young kids and a true innate ability to connect with them. I couldn’t recommend her more! She’s also a delight of a person.
