Amanda $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Mayo, MD

Hi there! I’m Amanda; a longtime caregiver, former au-pair/nanny, and a single mom of two wonderful kids. Alongside my main work as a consultant, I also serve as a substitute teacher for AACPS, and help coach local kids sports, so I’m used to adapting quickly and connecting with children of all personalities and ages. I work from home most days, which gives me flexibility to help local families with babysitting, after-school care, or date nights. Whether it’s keeping little ones engaged with activities, helping with homework, or making sure evenings run smoothly, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable. I'm an energetic, dependable, patient, and easy going Australian, and genuinely enjoy being with kids. I’m also happy to lend a hand with light household tasks or pet care when needed. Available for flexible bookings in Edgewater, Annapolis, and nearby areas; open to evening or occasional weekend jobs when my schedule allows.

Dear Parents: I am seeking a childcare position on an occasional basis. I'm 38 years of age, living in the Bowie, MD area but I also travel throughout the DC area regularly. I have over 15 years of prior experience in Early Childhood Education in licensed preschool centers and training in Early Childhood courses. I studied techniques in safety, guidance, health, and positive sense of self while promoting social, mental, and physical growth in children. I report progress and build relationships with children, parents, or staff while continually displaying professional conduct. I have experience with children of all ages. I look forward to greeting the children and parents with a genuine welcome as well as giving the parents a sense of comfort when their child is in my care. Thank you.
