Amie $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Amie! I graduated from Cal State Channel Islands in May 2025 with a degree in Sociology, and I offer child care, senior care, and pet care. For child care, most of my experience comes from taking care of my nieces and nephews (ages 3–11). I love keeping kids busy with fun crafts, simple cooking or baking, and activities that let them be creative. I’m also happy to help out with homework when needed. For senior care, I’ve volunteered in a hospital setting where I spent time keeping seniors company and helping during meals. While I don’t provide medical care, I really enjoy being a kind, patient companion and helping out where I can. For pet care, I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two of my own, a Maltipoo and a German Shepherd. I can help with walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds, but I do have mild allergies, so it’s helpful to know if pets aren’t hypoallergenic. Overall, I’m caring, reliable, and love supporting families in any way I can!

I recently left teaching to pursue caring for and educating children on my own terms and my own schedule. I have 10+ years of childcare experience working as a nanny, and 15+ years working as a tutor and teacher. I offer childcare services, tutoring services, enrichment services, and developmental support for physical, occupational, speech, and feeding therapies. I have experience working with children from infancy to 17 years old. I am CPR and First Aid certified through the Red Cross. I do not smoke, and I have my own transportation which can be used for your service needs. My bachelor’s degree is in Deaf Education. My specialization areas include Middle Level Mathematics and Language Arts. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I have 15 years of experience working with children with special needs, including: autism (ASD), deaf, blind, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and more.

Allison has worked with my son who has a disability for a year now. She is reliable and very patient with my son. Allison isn’t afraid to ask for help when she’s unsure of what to do in a situation. She not only watches my son, but has taught him developmental skills.
