My name is Amanda and I am currently looking for another great family to sit for occasionally. Here is some information about myself: I currently live in the Echo Park neighborhood. I am a 27 year old UCLA college graduate with a B.A. in World Arts and Cultures, a B.A. in Psychology, and a minor in Urban Planning. I am the eldest of 3 siblings and grew up in San Francisco. I am an avid dog lover and in my free time I love to to take dance classes, volunteer, read, and cook. I am also CPR/First-aid certified and have a child abuse prevention certificate from the YMCA. YOUTH EXPERIENCE Having a large family and neighborhood as I do, since age 16 I have extensive experience babysitting infant-11 year old children. I have been a camp counselor for youth ages 3-17 for 3 years at UCLA's Bruinwoods. Additionally, I Read more have worked 6 years as a dance instructor/coach for youth 4-17 at Peabody Elementary , Marina MS and Lowell HS. I have worked with special needs students throughout each previous job including those with learning and physical disabilities. I use to sit for family with a 3 year old boy and two year old girl for a few years and have come to consider this family as my own, looking for a new family to bond with. I cook occasionally and clean play area after every visit. It has been a strong passion of mine to empower youth throughout my various occupations and honestly the most important work I've done so far. My long term goal is to start my own nonprofit that fosters healthy and happy youth! Please check my profile for full availability; I am generally free everyday from 12pm-Midnight.
