College educated, caring and proactive part time household manager/nanny in the Twin Cities with a love for working with family's to make the best experience for them and their little ones. In my free time, I enjoy reading, travel, exercise, attending shows, trying new restaurants, and spending time with friends, family, and my adorable golden doodle. 
I've spent many years in the care taking industry working in a variety of positions including but not limited to babysitting, live-in nannying, mother's helper, tutor, etc and I'd love to continue the work with your family!

Amaya is amazing! She took incredible care of my 9 month old daughter. Finding someone who you trust, who is open to working with you and your caregiving preferences, and is reliable is tough. Amaya is a great communicator, punctual, is gentle and kind, has the knowledge and experience to know how to handle any situation that might come up. She is adaptable, has great ideas for how to nurture and provide care, and just has a great energy overall! I can’t recommend her enough!

I am so happy to have her watch our daughter! Planning to have her back.

Amaya is wonderful! She is sweet, easy to talk to, and professional. Her communication is quick and she has been punctual for every visit. My daughter was a little out of sorts the first time we all met and Amaya's gentle approach let her warm up at her own pace. As a mother it can be hard to let someone new watch your children but Amaya has proven herself to be more than capable and trustworthy. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for help with their little ones!

Amaya was great! I was nervous to have a babysitter I didn’t know it a city I don’t live in, but for my sisters child free wedding I needed someone! My 6 and 4 year old immediately loved her. No tears when we left! It was amazing! I knew she was good with her reviews but my kids reaction made me feel at ease. I was able to enjoy my night knowing they were in good hands. Next time we are in MPLS and need a babysitter we are calling her! 

Amaya and I were chatting, we had a great Facetime interview and set up an in person interview and then she ghosted me.  I haven't heard from her since and she didn't show up for interview. Seemed weird, since she seemed great on interview. 

We couldn’t have loved Amaya more! We first met her when she helped us in a pinch and we look so forward to having her back. She was absolutely wonderful with our 5 and 3 year old— took perfect care of them, they loved her, and she properly tired them out with fun. Can’t say enough good things. 

We were so lucky to find Amaya. She did an amazing job taking care of our 4 year old daughter. Amaya quickly became a member of the family. She always picked up our daughter at school on time, created amazing schedules for her including playground time, tutoring, rainy days at the library, crafting and drawing/art.  Amaya has infinite energy and was super attuned to our daughter, knowing when she wanted quiet time or when she needed a dance break. Amaya also was great at following guidelines around screen time that we set. Our schedules and circumstances changed, otherwise we would happily still be working with Amaya. 

Amaya did a great job at easing our worries about leaving our kids with a babysitter for the first time. The kids warmed to her instantly and can't wait for her to come back! 

Amaya was great with our daughter and our dog too!

She’s amazing!! My kids warmed up to her quickly as did my dog! She’s punctual. We’ve hired her for more babysitting! 

She was amazing! My 16 month old twins had a blast with her. I wasn't nervous at all leaving them with a babysitter for the first time due to Amaya's experience and how amazing she is in general!

We just did a trial day with Amaya yesterday and instantly fell in love and have asked her to join us on a regular basis. 

She was extremely caring, enthusiastic and fun. In addition to instantly making my kids (1 & 3 years old) feel at ease, she fed them two meals and left the house spotless. 

We feel so lucky to have been connected with her!

Amaya and I were a match instantly, and from then it was history. I knew she would be great for my children. On the first meeting, my otherwise "skeptical" child immediately wanted to give her a hug upon goodbyes. With great recommendations and experience, she made me feel at ease seeing that it was my first time hiring someone to watch my children other than family. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Amaya was great with our 17 month old son. This was the first time we had someone watch him who he wasn't familiar with and she made the transition so easy. I was nervous how it would go but she put me right at ease. She was great to communicate with me throughout the time she was there with how he was doing and what they were doing together. She was also great with our dog. I would not hesitate to hire Amaya again and would recommend her to other families as well.

Amaya cared for our almost 2 year old daughter for three weeks when our regular nanny was out of town and she did a wonderful job. Our daughter is normally a little teary at hand off with a new caregiver but Amaya was always ready with a book or activity to catch her notice and get her excited about spending time together. She took our daughter on regular outings in the neighborhood (playground, library, etc.), played her music for dance parties, read books (in English and Spanish), prepared meals for our daughter as asked, kept her on schedule, and otherwise just took excellent care. We'd definitely hire Amaya again and would recommend her to other parents.

My daughter is only 3 and Amaya is the first person I've left her with overnight who wasn't family. I oddly wasn't remotely worried tho I expected to be. My daughter took to her immediately, enjoyed her, learned from her. I love how Amaya took my kid out of the house, took care of our dogs, and acted as if our baby was an extension of her, a part of her life and family. I would highly recommend Amaya for date nights, overnights or entire weekends.

Amaya was a pleasure to work with! Her communication was great and she arrived exactly on time for the job despite the long commute. She has an extremely pleasant and calm demeanor that put both us and our children at ease as soon as we met her. The children really enjoyed spending time with her and she sent us text updates throughout the night. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!

Amaya was wonderful with our two-year-old. She sent photos and texts to let us know she was doing well. They played together all afternoon and our daughter kept telling me about her "new friend." Amaya is clearly professional, responsible, and communicative. We'd have her back any time we need a sitter.
