Hi! I’m Amanda, a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with 2 years of childcare experience in the U.S. During my time as a live-in caregiver, I cared for three children who were 3, 5, and 8 years old when I finished, and I had been with the youngest since they were 18 months old.
I have hands-on experience caring for multiple children and managing their daily routines. I helped get the kids ready in the mornings, prepared meals and snacks, drove them to school, sports, activities, playdates, and parks, and made sure they were safe and comfortable throughout the day.
I also regularly helped with dinner and the evening routine, including bath time, pajamas, getting ready for bed, and bedtime. My responsibilities also included kids’ laundry, making beds, organizing backpacks and play areas, errands, meal prep, and keeping the kitchen and common areas tidy.
I’m CPR/First Aid trained and take safety and communication seriously. I’m patient, dependable, organized, proactive, and easygoing. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and keeping them engaged through outdoor play, crafts, games, trips to the park, and age-appropriate activities. I’m also comfortable helping with household tasks that make a family’s day run more smoothly.
I have a degree in Civil Engineering, which has helped me develop strong organization, problem-solving, and time-management skills.
I’m currently based in Oakland and am looking to connect with local families for babysitting, nanny, mother’s helper, and family assistant opportunities. I’d love to get to know your family and see if we could be a good fit!
“Amanda has been our au pair for the past 2 years (2024-2026). During that time, she was a great partner to me and a welcome addition to our family. She is communicative, flexible, and proactive as a mother’s helper and is caring and warm (but firm when needed) with my 3 boisterous girls. She has worked with us since my youngest was 1.5 years old so she’s very familiar with everything from feeding and nap schedules to potty training, as well as how to entertain older kids. She is also a safe driver and has spent a lot of time with my oldest (now 8) driving her and her friends to their after school activities. She has babysat for us for many date nights, handling the bath/bedtime routine for all 3 girls by herself. I clearly cannot say enough good things — you need Amanda :)”
