I started out watching my siblings, moved onto the church nursery, and the church pre/afterschool center. I have been a live-in nanny and worked with several families as a full-time nanny.

With infants I am experienced in cloth diapering, breast milk management, vegan/vegetarian diets, sleep training, baby wearing ), feeding, and infant sign-language. For older children, I am experienced in, several discipline methods, planning developmentally appropriate activities, such as letters, numbers, colors, shapes, language development, and pre-reading, and potty training.

I look forward to meeting some amazing families in the area! *Sitter Policy* - I would prefer a 3 hour minimum - I base my budget on my hours booked, therefore cancellations impact my budget. Cancellations 48 hours in advance will have a 1/2 of the amount of hours booked fee. Cancellations less than 24 hours in advance will owe the entire amount for hours booked. Special circumstances and emergencies of course will be taken into consideration.
Hi my name is Amanda, I’m 29 years old. I’m the oldest of four. I joke I’ve grown up with a baby on my hip for as long as I can remember. Early Childhood Education is my passion. I’ve been working with children at different capacities for the last thirteen years. Most of my work with children involve babies 2 weeks to 24 months, however I have experience with all ages. I have worked as a one on one nanny, in a childcare center. Most recently I work at the YMCA as a lead of the Child Watch center for the last four years. I enjoy the challenge and journey of helping a child grow and helping to shape their minds. I’m very caring, present and quick thinking. I’m CPR and first aide certified, I renew every 2 years.
“Amanda was early, kept great communication before meeting me, and was very professional and great with the kids. I would hire her again and I highly recommend her.”
As a dedicated caregiver and mother of three school-aged children, I am deeply committed to nurturing every child's growth, learning, and happiness. With years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, I bring warmth, patience, and creativity to every babysitting role. I go beyond basic supervision-I love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor play, helping with homework, and creating fun, memorable activities that let them shine. Safety and trust are at the heart of my care; I always strive to create a supportive, secure environment where children feel comfortable and parents have complete peace of mind. I am flexible with scheduling, available for both daytime and evening care, and am happy to provide references from local families I have supported. Helping families achieve balance matters deeply to me, and I aim to support your household so every family member thrives. I would be excited to meet your family and become a trusted part of your support network.
