Amy $38 per hour for 1 child

My name is Amy. I am a former preschool teacher of over 15 years and have a lot of experience as a nanny. I have cared for children from 2 weeks to 12 years old, and have two children of my own. I am reliable, responsible, creative, nurturing, and very safety conscious. I enjoy working together with families to really find what's best for their child. I'm great with scheduling, time management, potty training, positive discipline, sleep training, and inspiring learning and growth! I love exploring nature with children and doing lots of art projects. I am first aid and CPR certified. I'm always happy to help with light housekeeping, organizing, food prep and errands if needed. I am a part time certified health and wellness coach and believe it's important to incorporate this into my work with children as well!! In my spare time, I love to make jewelry, cook, and spend time with my family.

Hi families! I’m an experienced nanny from Brazil. I’ve been working with children in the U.S. since 2022. I spent 2 years as an au pair and have since worked with several families, caring for kids of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities and date nights. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, meal prep, playtime, homework help, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities. If you think we might be a good fit, I’d be happy to connect!
