A little bit about me

With over a decade of childcare experience, I bring a strong background in early childhood education and hands-on care. I’ve worked in daycares, spent over a year with infants, and two years as a Pre-K teacher. I also served as a paraeducator supporting children with special needs and hold a degree in Early Childhood. In 2014, I volunteered for five months in international orphanages, providing care for individuals from newborns to adults with special needs. I’ve nannied for multiple families and am currently seeking part-time or occasional positions where I can bring my 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son, or care for children in my home. I offer a nurturing environment, am happy to assist with light housework, and love planning enriching activities and outings. I previously brought my children to a nanny role, and it was a positive experience for all involved. I look forward to finding a great fit with a new family.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m currently a student trying to get into med school! I’ve worked with kids my whole life, but professionally at a daycare since 2021 and have been working at an elementary school for the last year. I love all age groups! They all have their unique personalities and are so funny! I find that working with kids definitely brings more happiness to my life and sparks so much creativity! Since I now work at a school, I have summers off and would love to nanny/babysit during the break!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Amanda. I really enjoy being around kids and try to bring a calm, playful energy wherever I go.

I’ve worked as a backpacking guide with teens, at sleepaway summer camps, and as a middle school social worker, so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy chaos to big feelings and quieter moments in between. I also have my Wilderness First Aid certification, which has helped me feel confident staying steady and responsible in any situation.

When I’m with kids, I like keeping things fun and simple (arts and crafts, dress-up and imagination games, reading stories, and spending time outside running around or playing). I grew up playing soccer, so I’m always happy to get outside and be active too.

I’m also an aunt to a 2-month-old, 2-year-old, and 5-year-old, which has given me a lot of recent experience with babies and little ones.

I care a lot about kids feeling safe and being themselves. I’m also always happy to be silly along the way.

"I am pleased to recommend Amanda for a nanny position. I have had the opportunity to see her care for my children over the past several years, and she has consistently proven to be responsible, caring, and dependable. She has a natural ability to connect with children and creates a safe, nurturing environment. She is energetic, playful, and genuinely enjoys engaging with children through activities, games, and everyday learning opportunities. At the same time, she is patient, gentle, and attentive, always taking the time to listen to children and respond to their needs with kindness and understanding. She has also helped with childcare responsibilities, including occasional daycare pick-ups and drop-offs, and I have always felt completely confident in her care. My children absolutely adore her and frequently ask when they will get to spend time with her again. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy, loving, and capable caregiver."
