I am a previous preschool teacher where I had valuable training in social/emotional skills that have helped me build trusting and positive relationships with children. I also have an education in early childhood/elementary education. My experience with children is newborn through school age. I have worked in a licensed childcare center with age 6 weeks - 5 yrs. old. I have also worked as a nanny for multiple families with twin infants-toddlers. I am an honest, trustworthy, professional, responsible, mature, friendly, flexible, dependable, & fun nanny. I have a way of making children feel comfortable & safe after a brief warm-up period. I am passionate about my job with children and treat it as a career. I am certified in infant & adult CPR/first aid. I have a flawless criminal background and driving record. I have excellent references I'm happy to share upon request. I am adaptable to most parenting Read more styles and respect the style of the parents I am working for. I see my role as an extension to what the parents do when caring for the children and find this successful in not sending mixed signals for setting boundaries to the kids. I also think it is important to socialize the kids with other children. I do this by taking the kids on outings to the library, zoo, aquarium, parks, beaches, indoor playgrounds, sea world, and meeting up with other local nannies for play dates. I also love doing arts & crafts with children that are interested and old enough. I enjoy interacting with kids and watching their individual development and learning. I perform child-related household duties and chores including cooking, picking up, organizing, sanitizing toys, running errands, etc. I try to always leave the house in as good of shape, if not better, than when I arrived. I hope to hear from you!

We hired Amy a few weeks ago to take care of our seven week old and she was absolutely wonderful with him! He is a very engaging baby and Amy found new ways to stimulate him every day she was with us! She, too, understood our need to get him on a sleep schedule and helped us get our little energizer bunny to sleep! Amy helped out around the house as well which was a huge plus. She is professional, compassionate and low key-perfect for any family looking for a short or long term caregiver!

Amy did a great job for us! From the start of the process, she was very professional and responsive to my phone calls and emails to coordinate getting care for our children. She amazed me in how well she came into our home and immediately was at ease with our 5 week old baby and 22 month old son. Which in turn allowed my husband and I to leave and be at ease having her watch our kids. She was able to address both their needs while providing excellent care and fun for our oldest child. When we returned home she gave us a recap of what happened during the time we were away, which we also appreciated. We will definitely use Amy again and I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for an attentive, responsible and fun sitter for their children.

As a first time mom, it is nerve wracking having someone new watch your baby. However, when I met Amy and saw how she interacted with my 6 month old, I immediately felt comfortable with her. As I told her about my baby’s daily routine, she asked specific questions about my preferences regarding her eating and sleep routine which also put me at ease and showed how knowledgeable and experienced she is with babies. When I got home, Amy gave me a recap of their day together and I knew my baby had a good day because she was sound asleep when I got home and woke up at her usual time the next morning. Amy also provided references right away which I really appreciated.

Amy was absolutely perfect. Her level of experience and familiarity with children exceeded my expectations. She knew questions to ask that I would never have thought of in order to make sure all the needs of my child were met. She not only put us at ease she put our child at ease as well. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend for others.
