I am a youthful and active mature woman with very open availability and flexible schedule. I am dependable and have my own transportation. I gave birth to and raised four children of our own; happy marriage for 30 years; have done child care and have been trained in first aid and CPR. I have taught elementary children for 20 years. I’m very loving and nurturing. I love to play and read with children. I am qualified to assist with online school and enjoy doing fun projects like arts and crafts, singing and exercise. I also am experienced in the care of infants including feeding, bathing, changing diapers and comforting.

Stephanie is so wonderful to have looking after our little one whilst we work. Our daughter warmed to her instantly and looks forward to her coming back to play. We couldn’t be happier that we found Stephanie and believe any family would be lucky to have her.

Hello! My name is Amaris. I’m a 19-year-old college student who is First Aid, CPR, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults. I have years of hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages and truly love what I do. I currently work at an elementary school, where I help care for a group of about 20–23 children ages 5–7 alongside another staff member. In this role, I’ve learned how to manage and connect with many children at once, adapting to different personalities and learning styles. I enjoy keeping them engaged through play, learning activities, and positive interactions that help them grow and feel supported. My childcare experience started at age 13, helping care for my younger cousins. Since then, I’ve looked after children from infancy up to around age 12, handling everything from diaper changes and meals to bedtime routines and playtime. I also love helping kids learn through everyday moments — whether it’s reading, practicing letters and numbers, or encouraging creativity and curiosity. Beyond babysitting, I’ve helped at children’s parties, keeping kids safe and entertained, and I always make sure every child feels comfortable and cared for. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and dependable — and I take pride in leaving a positive impression everywhere I go. If you’re looking for someone experienced, caring, and reliable, I’d love the chance to support your family!
