A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m Amanda!

I’m a college student looking for a fun and flexible part-time babysitting job! While I haven’t officially worked as a nanny before, I’ve always gotten along great with kids and love keeping things positive and playful. I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always a priority!

I’d be happy to help with homework, bedtime routines, or just keeping the kiddos entertained with fun activities. Plus, I speak Spanish if that’s ever helpful!

Right now, my school schedule keeps me busy during the week, but I’m available Fridays through Sundays and happy to work as needed on those days.

Can’t wait to meet you and your little ones! 💕
