Hello, My Name is Amaya and I am a dedicated and compassionate nanny with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through school age. Holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and brings over 8 years of specialized experience in early childhood development. CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for children. Skilled in creating age-appropriate educational activities, supporting emotional and cognitive growth, and fostering positive behavioral habits. Trusted by families for reliability, warmth, and a deep understanding of child development principles.

The passion for taking care of kids started while helping my siblings as an aunt of 3 nieces and 6 nephews, it brings me joy to nurture curious minds through every tantrums and fantasy play.. there's always a beautiful life lesson / interesting perspective to learn from these innocent little dreamers. Would describe myself as patient and a natural caregiver (Experience with seniors too). I have experience regulating children while virtual learning because of the changes at the start of the pandemic, I had to schedule daily activities whether indoors or outdoors for play time or learning purposes as well as setting up play dates with other caregivers with parent’s permission. Usually I suggest age appropriate activities that would stimulate children’s functions to ensure a wholesome and beneficial experience for growth in my care. (With some tips from my sister , who is an early childhood development teacher). Plus the kids get to learn about a different culture or experience a person from a different continent which could be beneficial to amplify their open mindedness and awareness of the rest of the world. I love painting, writing, karaoke, baking, building little Legos and dress ups. I am willing to help with chores strictly related to the kids e.g laundry, cooking and taking to school or other appointments. I consider myself very flexible so if you’re running late, need some last minute extra help and want to change schedule, I love being convenient to my employers as best as I can.
