A little bit about me

Hello everyone!

My name is Amaya Hurtado, and I’m a 21-year-old college senior with a deep passion for working with children. I’m currently exploring post-grad opportunities that allow me to teach, guide, and inspire young minds.

Growing up with two younger brothers, one 6 years old and the other 16, gave me a hands-on foundation in caregiving and mentorship. These experiences helped shape my love for learning and for creating meaningful, uplifting moments with kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, encouraging creativity, or just being a positive presence, I genuinely enjoy being part of a child’s growth and development.

My goal is to build a future where I can make a lasting impact on children, and I’m excited to find opportunities that align with that purpose.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a more about me!!

More About Me

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

In Summer 2024, I worked as a Summer Camp Counselor at the YMCA, where I led group activities, games, and creative projects for kids of all ages. I made sure every camper felt safe, included, and excited to show up each day. It was a hands-on, high-energy role that helped me grow in patience, leadership, and communication.

Beyond that, I’ve spent much of my life helping care for my two younger brothers—one is 6 and the other is 15—which taught me how to connect with kids across a wide age range. From helping with homework to being a positive role model day-to-day, this experience sparked my passion for working with children and helping them learn and grow.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I truly enjoy keeping kids active, engaged, and having fun. I love spending time outdoors—whether we’re playing soccer, running around, riding bikes, or just exploring nature together. Growing up, I played a little bit of everything: soccer, track, tennis—so I’m always excited to bring that energy into outdoor play.

Indoors, I enjoy card games, board games, and creative activities that encourage learning through fun. I think movie nights can be a great bonding experience, and I’m always up for adventurous learning—like trying a simple new recipe together or exploring a fun topic through videos, crafts, or themed games. I have a personal interest in healthy cooking, languages, and even kid-friendly TED Talks, and I love finding ways to share that curiosity in ways that inspire kids to learn and try new things.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The care, compassion, and passion you have for bettering the lives of your children.

My experience with special needs children...

While I don’t yet have extensive hands-on experience working directly with children with special needs, I’ve studied psychology and child development, and I’m deeply interested in expanding my understanding through real-world experience. I’m eager to learn more about each child’s unique needs and strengths, and I’m fully committed to being patientand supportive in every interaction.

I believe that every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and capable, and I’m more than willing to go above and beyond to help them learn, grow, and enjoy their day. I know working with special needs can come with challenges but those are exactly the kinds of meaningful challenges I’m ready for and passionate ab
