Hi! I’m Amanda, but everyone calls me Mandy! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic person who genuinely loves being around children. I’m the oldest of five, so caring for younger kids, helping around the house, cooking, and keeping things organized have always been a big part of my life. A little fun fact, back in Puerto Rico, where I'm from, I was always called "Amanda La Que Manda" (Amanda the one in charge), as I was always eager to help and take on tasks!
For about six months, I regularly cared for an 8-year-old and a 3-year-old. I picked them up from school, helped with homework, took them to activities, prepared meals, and spent the afternoon making sure they were happy, safe, and cared for. I’ve also occasionally babysat overnight for a 4-year-old and a 10-year-old.
I also have experience caring for my dad, as he is in a wheelchair, and assisted him when needed help with everyday tasks, including preparing and feeding him meals, helping with personal care, and making sure he had everything he needed. This taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and caring for someone with compassion.
I’ve completed an internship with a pediatrician, where I learned more about children’s health and safety, and I’ll be volunteering at a pediatrician’s office this fall. My dream is to become a pediatric emergency physician, so caring for children is something I truly love and feel passionate about.
I’m available for part-time and/or full-time nanny care after 12:30 PM. I can help with school pick-ups, homework, meals, playtime, activities, bedtime routines, and light tidying related to the children.
I’m CPR & AED trained and would describe myself as kind, patient, dependable, attentive, and responsible. Most importantly, I want every child I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re with me!
