About Amara

Experience: 7 yrs

Hi! I would like to start off by highlighting that I am a kind, patient, and encouraging person with a natural ability to follow instructions and connect with children; creating a warm, supportive environment with them! With experience as a dependable nanny and strong academic record, I bring responsibility, empathy, and time management into what I do. Aside from nanny I love to be outside, with friends and family. Some of my other hobbies include reading, going on walks and shopping :) I have experience with all ages starting from 3 months to 11+ years - to which I can provide relevant and reliable references:) I would love to have the opportunity to connect with your family and create a safe environment to thrive in. I look forward to hearing from you, please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!

Finding someone you can completely trust with your kids isn’t very easy, and we’re so thankful we found Amara. From the first day, she made our children feel comfortable and quickly became someone they looked forward to seeing. She always shows up with a positive attitude, keeps the kids busy with fun things to do, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. It’s clear she cares about our kids and that gives us so much peace of mind whenever we’re away. Amara has been reliable and a pleasure to have as part of our family’s routine. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a caring and trustworthy nanny.
