Hello! My name is Amanda. I have a one year old daughter and have been caring for children since I was 12 years old. I’m the oldest of five children and sixteen grandchildren which turned me into the designated baby sitter. I’ve had up to six children in my care at one single time with ages from newborn babies to teenagers. Throughout high school I babysat for a local family with two little boys. I can take care of meals, cleaning, bath time, naps, pets, etc… I am CPR trained, but not certified. If that is a deal breaker I would be more than happy to take the course and get certified for the right family. I have also taken car seat safety classes and am always advocating for proper car seat use. I have experience with children with special needs as well and am always willing to learn and Read more educate myself further as well. I would love to nanny for a family who wouldn’t mind my little one tagging along as well, but I do have backup care for her if that wouldn’t work out.
