Hello families! My name is Amaya and I bring several years of hands-on childcare experience and a lot of patience, energy, and responsibility. I’ve worked with children of different ages, from infants to school aged kids. I am a teachers Aide for infants In that position, I help with feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, playtime, and early learning activities. I also interned at Barack Obama Elementary School, where I supported teachers in the classroom, helped students with assignments, and assisted during activities and transitions. Outside of work, I’ve been a local babysitter for about four years, caring for children of friends, family, and people in my community. I’m the older sister of two, so I’m very used to helping with homework and keeping kids entertained I enjoy staying engaged with children through crafts, games, reading, and activities that support brain development and creativity. I have completed two childcare related training certifications. ****CPR CERTIFIED**** I do have experiences with two animals which are Dogs and Rabbits. Thank you for considering me!

Amaya was the perfect sitter. She was truly engaging and attentive to my children. My girls adored her. We look forward to booking Amaya again soon,
