A little bit about me

Hello! I am Amelia and I am 18 years old. Ever since I was 13 I started childcare, it begin with being a camp counselor for my church’s vacation bible school to helping out at the childcare at church. I found a love for children and decided to find my own babysitting jobs here and there. In highschool I decided to find a regular job babysitting so for my whole senior year I babysat/tutored a 7 year old with ADHD.
Sadly, I was moving to Portland so I had to move on from that job. Once I moved here I immediately got into babysitting. I currently babysit a 1.5 year old girl. I also babysit 2 little brothers, one is 2 years old & the other recently turned 1 year old.
Being a babysitter & nanny is what I feel a passion for. I promise to always keep your children safe while providing them with a loving & fun environment.
I am available starting now & can do the days M-F and weekends as well if needed!
Thank you,
Amelia
