A little bit about me

Hello, families!
I'm originally from Brazil. As the oldest sibling, I've always supported my parents and looked after my brother and sister, gaining maturity and a deep understanding of the importance of helping, being patient, and showing empathy.
Later on, I expanded my role as an older sister by becoming an au pair and living with a host family in the United States. This experience was a fantastic chance to enhance my English skills and immerse myself in a new culture. It allowed me to refine my caregiving skills, becoming adept at creating fun and educational indoor activities for the children during the cold winters of Minnesota and the gray days of California. I also made sure to make the most of summer with enjoyable outdoor activities.

I firmly believe that teamwork with parents for the well-being of their children is crucial. I will follow your guidance, using my experience to ensure the best care for your family.
Excited about the possibility of being your childcare partner.

"Amanda is amazing! She has been our babysitter for more than a year to my (2) and (5) year old boys. When we first met my boys were drawn to her and fell in love. She is attentive, caring, helpful, and enjoys what she does. I’m always amazed when I come home to see all of the arts and crafts she does with the boys! She keeps them on a schedule throughout the day and always listens to what I ask. Out of the numerous Nannie’s we have had in the past she is truly the only one I can say we really trust and love. I’m so beyond grateful for her and if you need someone to care for your kids she is the one! Reliable, punctual, and trustworthy!"

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

In addition to my diverse childcare experience, I spent one year as an au pair in Minnesota and another year in California, each with different families. These enriching experiences not only deepened my understanding of childcare but also exposed me to various family dynamics, cultural nuances, and regional practices. As an au pair, I actively contributed to creating positive and supportive environments for the children in my care, further honing my adaptability and interpersonal skills. These experiences have uniquely prepared me to offer dedicated and comprehensive childcare tailored to the specific needs of each family.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I thoroughly enjoy engaging children in a variety of enriching activities. From imaginative play and creative arts and crafts to outdoor adventures, my goal is to foster a stimulating environment. Reading, interactive games, and educational activities are integral parts of my approach. I believe in nurturing a child's curiosity and encouraging their unique interests while ensuring a safe and supportive atmosphere.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny, for me, is cultivating a foundation of trust and connection with children. I strive to be someone parents trust implicitly, promoting open communication for a harmonious partnership in the well-being of their children. I believe in creating a welcoming environment and strong bond, ensuring that they feel safe and supported on their development path. It means a lot to me when they lovingly call me their 'best friend,' emphasizing the strong, positive bond we have.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Every day as a nanny, I cherish the opportunity to be a part of a child's learning journey. It's truly fulfilling to witness them growing and developing right before my eyes. From mastering new skills to exploring the world around them, I am committed to providing a nurturing environment where every day is a chance for discovery, growth, and joyful development.
