Amanda $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda , and I have over 5 years of hands-on experience providing loving, dependable care for children of all ages. Caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I’ve been the go-to babysitter for my younger cousins and grew up helping care for my little sister and brother, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, nurturing environment. I am also going to school for nursing, I am finishing up my pre-reqs. Once i graduate i want to work in pediatrics or NICU. I haven't decided just yet! My responsibilities included cooking nutritious meals, keeping the home clean and organized, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities. I regularly took the children to the park, swimming, and to school, while making sure their days were structured, safe, and full of learning and play. I also helped with naps, feeding, and maintaining consistent routines. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and care into your home and help create a positive, loving environment for your children.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
