Booked by 11 families in Bell Gardens, CA

I’m a calm, organized, and caring individual with a deep passion for learning. I firmly believe that kindness and understanding our emotions can truly make a difference in the world. As a nanny, I find joy in nurturing children’s growth and development while fostering an environment of warmth, fun, and learning. I was a RBT, working with individuals in the autism spectrum. Currently, I’m a OTD student, pursuing a career as a pediatric occupational therapist . I’ve taken specialized courses in human biology, psychology, and child development that have expanded my understanding of how children grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. I’m excited to continue building on this knowledge while connecting with and engaging children in meaningful ways. I love taking children outdoors to explore parks and nature, helping them develop a sense of wonder and adventure. Watching kids learn, grow, and experience the world around them is incredibly rewarding. I’m happy to provide references from my previous nanny positions and look forward to getting to know your family. Let’s connect and chat about how I can contribute to your child’s development and happiness!

“Amanda took care of our daughter for 2 years and was the most incredible caregiver. She's very reliable, hardworking, and has a natural ability to connect with children. I highly recommend her!”
