Meet Amanda

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hi! I babysat a lot through high school, tutored in undergrad, and taught science and writing classes in grad school (https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandampoulsen) . I am also very competent in the kitchen and am comfortable cooking for health conscious individuals or those with special diets--I know how to make food still taste great! Lastly, as summer is approaching, I thought I'd throw in that I'm an excellent swimmer with experience teaching children and adults how to swim with proper technique. I work full time, but with The burden of student loans, I am really motivated to help your family out in any way I can! I am available weekdays after 5pm and some weekends. Overall, I am responsible, organized, and keep things fun and safe! Please let me know if I can help!
