A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Amanda. I am 32 years old and don't have children of my own, but very passionate about helping other people with their children. I have 20 years of child care and live-in nanny experience. Including caring for families up to 4 children. I have cared for children who are autistic, who have allergies, learning differences, seizures, ADHD and separation anxiety. I really enjoy supporting children in their passions and creating safe spaces for them to explore new ones.

I enjoy teaching children how to cook, bake, make home videos, play, dance, explore nature and excel in their stage of development. I am also very organized, clean and can cook for large families.

My biggest values when caring for children are ensuring they feel safe, seen and empowered. And partnering with you as the parent to meet the goals you have for your family.

"Amanda became family to us. She was amazing with my daughters. She was so creative and fun - I often thought, “Why didn’t I think of that?” They looked forward to her arrival every morning. Even if she didn’t have anything planned for them, she could always make something out of nothing. Not only did the girls love her, I deeply appreciated her consistency, ability to be firm with the rules, and her flexibility. She was able to be fun while making sure the girls learned valuable lessons like honesty, sharing, and patience. She was also great about fixing them healthy meals despite their picky tastebuds. We have continued to stay in touch with Amanda all these years. My daughters are now 17 and 20 and still adore Amanda. She’s such a positive, uplifting person - the exact kind of person you want taking care of your children."
