Amanda $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello. My name is Amanda and I'm currently back in Indiana (where I grew up) after many years living abroad in Taiwan. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been babysitting since I was 16 years old. Additionally, I have four years of teaching experience for ESL students. I often read books and played games with my students and found it deeply rewarding to watch kids learn. I love to see how literature encourages curiosity and reflection at a young age. I will definitely keep your precious ones engaged and active while caretaking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I also love to listen if there are stories to share and play a good card/dice game. I am an animal lover so I'm happy to work with families who have animals that need to be watched.
