Amandeep $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amandeep, and I am a caring, dependable, patient, and trustworthy caregiver who truly enjoys working with children. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Criminology and Justice from California State University, Northridge (CSUN), where I was recognized for my academic achievements, including being on the Dean’s List and receiving academic honors and awards. Earning my degree while balancing work and other responsibilities taught me discipline, organization, patience, and strong time-management skills. I have hands-on experience caring for children from newborns through 10 years old. I am comfortable caring for infants and helping with feeding, preparing bottles and meals, bathing, diaper changes, dressing, playtime, bedtime routines, and keeping children safe and comfortable. I enjoy engaging children through age-appropriate activities, being attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and creating a warm and positive environment. I also have my CPR, First Aid, and ABA certifications, which have given me additional knowledge and skills for supporting children safely and appropriately. I also have experience supporting seniors and helping families with errands, appointments, organization, and household responsibilities. I am bilingual in English and Punjabi/Hindi, communicate well with parents, and understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s children. I am responsible, nurturing, energetic, and calm under pressure, and I would treat every child with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own family.

During Senior care my priority is to provide comfort and safety. Helping with medications, meals, self safe (bathing etc.. ) as well as errands or anything else the client may need me to assist with.

“Melba and her husband Jose have been working for us since 2015, cleaning first our condo and now our house. We trust them completely. When we leave town, we are comfortable leaving them our keys so they can look after and feed our cats. They are excellent pet-sitters, cats and dogs. When I leave town they aid my husband, who has Parkinson’s. They are responsible, hardworking, friendly, and reliable. I cannot stress enough how we appreciate their presence and the care and effort we receive from them.”

"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)."
