Hi, I’m Amanda 29 years old. I’m the oldest of 4. 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 12 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 and 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 nurturing. I’m CPR/ first aide certified.

Hello! I'm Cassandra, a dedicated and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages from infants to young teens. I have extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-attended to. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both individual children and groups, creating safe, engaging, and fun environments whether it’s one-on-one care or managing multiple children at once. Additionally, I have a background in working with children with special needs, offering compassionate support tailored to each child’s individual needs. A significant portion of my experience comes from working with families involved in Al-Anon, a support group for those impacted by someone else's alcohol use. This has given me a deeper understanding of the unique dynamics and challenges these families face, allowing me to provide empathetic and supportive care with a focus on their emotional and practical needs. In addition to my babysitting experience, I’ve volunteered with the Best Day Foundation, teaching children how to surf and helping them learn to boogie board. This experience has further developed my ability to care for kids with disabilities in a meaningful way while encouraging their new skills and confidence. I take pride in creating a nurturing, fun, and educational environment while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, or providing the extra care some children need, I’m here to make sure your little ones are well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and helping make your life a little easier!

Hello! I’m Sany! I recently moved back [temporarily] to California to sit for the California Bar Exam, and during this transition, I’m grateful for the opportunity to support families in my community as I look to supplement my income during this time. Childcare has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. As one of six children and one of eighteen cousins on my father’s side alone, I grew up surrounded by kids of all ages. I helped raise or regularly babysit many of my younger siblings and cousins, which shaped my comfort, patience, and natural connection with children. I worked extensively with youth. I served as a Youth Services Staffer supporting students in 6th–8th grade, and later became a Teen Youth Coordinator working with ages 13–19. In those roles, I supported academic and personal development, planned programming, supervised groups, and created safe, positive, and inclusive spaces for learning and play. My most recent caregiving experience comes from working with multiple families throughout Chicago as I prepared to transition back to California. During that period, I cared for children ranging from 6 months to 4 years old, supporting everything from infant routines and early developmental play to toddler activities, social-emotional learning, and structured daily schedules. In addition to childcare, I have coached youth soccer and softball, which reflects my love of active play, teamwork, and encouragement. Whether a child prefers sports, reading time, crafts, video games, board games, or imaginative play, I adapt easily and meet them where they are. I love being silly, creative, and fully engaged, and I am equally comfortable providing structure and calm when needed. I hold a Juris Doctor, and my legal training developed strong communication skills, responsibility, judgment, and crisis-management ability - traits that parents value deeply when choosing a caregiver. Preparing for bar admission requires discipline, reliability, and attentiveness, all of which I bring into my work with children. Above all, I love caregiving because it allows me to build genuine, meaningful connections. I aim to create safe, joyful, and memorable experiences for every child I care for. I am known in my family as the favorite “fun-tie” — the aunt who brings imagination, warmth, and laughter into the room, and I would be honored to bring that same energy to your family. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn more. Thank you!
