Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have over 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I currently work full-time as a nanny for a wonderful family in the Bay Area and also provide occasional babysitting for other families. Caring for children is something I truly enjoy, and I always strive to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I have experience with daily routines, including meal preparation, nap schedules, bath time, and bedtime routines. I understand the importance of consistency and always do my best to follow each family’s preferences and routines. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going to parks, reading books, playing games, and encouraging age-appropriate activities that help children learn and grow while having fun. I speak both English and Portuguese. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect!

Amanda was wonderful jumping right in and playing with the kids and assisted with bedtime. Our toddler can have a hard time with new sitters was totally comfortable with her!
