Experience: 13 yrs
For over 13 years, I have been dedicated to nurturing children's growth and development. My passion lies in positively impacting young lives while supporting families with reliable care. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, puzzles, and educational games with children aged 0-11. I am comfortable caring for multiple children and am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I hold a college degree, as well as First Aid and CPR Training. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and text or phone calls, always following your preferred method. I'm also happy to help with cooking and meal preparation. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family!
Amanda was part time nanny to my daughter from when she was 3 months to 2.5 years old. Amanda is kind, safe, reliable and warm. My husband and I usually worked from home and it was so fun to overhear singing, reading, and alphabet learning from our offices. She had no trouble with our screen-free approach to parenting and frequently went on walks around the neighborhood. Amanda is great with dogs which was very important to us as we have a reactive/tricky dog at home. She’s also dog sat for us and watched both our kids on school closure days (5yo ACTIVE boy and 3yo girl). We are so grateful we have Amanda in our lives!
