About Amaya

Experience: 11 yrs

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With 11 years of experience caring for children ages 0 to 11, I provide a calm, patient environment where your little ones can thrive. I hold First Aid Training and have completed Early Child Development Coursework to ensure I provide the highest standard of care. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or engaging in educational games, I love fostering growth through play. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, crafts, and light housekeeping while strictly following your household rules and preferred communication style. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and am dedicated to supporting your family's unique needs. My goal is to create a joyful, secure space where your children feel truly valued and inspired every single day.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Amaya, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is dependable, caring, patient and truly wonderful with children. From the very beginning, she made our family feel comfortable and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our child was safe, cared for and engaged. She is warm, responsible and attentive, with a natural ability to connect with kids. She shows up on time, communicates well and handles routines with confidence and kindness. Whether helping with meals, playtime, bedtime or keeping things organized, she brings a calm and positive energy into our home. What stands out most is how much she genuinely cares. She is not just “watching” the kids, she is present, thoughtful and intentional. Any family would be lucky to have her support. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, nurturing and reliable babysitter.
