Hi, my name is Amy and I’m looking forward to helping your family out with childcare :) I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate and am looking for evening/ weekend opportunities. My mom had a home daycare so I’ve been around infants and children of all age practically my entire life! Prior to PA school, I was also babysitting for a family and helped with animal care as well as house sitting. I am CPR certified and am also a native Spanish speaker. I am comfortable with tasks including meal prepping, homework, potty training, and providing safe and age appropriate activities for your kiddo. Please let me know if you’d like to connect :)
Hi! I'm originally from Atlanta and have been living in DC for the past two years while attending law school. Before moving here, I was a full-time nanny for three years, caring for two wonderful kids between the ages of 3 and 6. I also have experience babysitting children of all ages, from infants to teens. I love spending time reading, crafting, and doing puzzles with kids—and I'm always happy to help with furry family members too! I have a great eye for organization and enjoy tidying up as I go. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!
