Meet Amanda

I have been a sitter for about 10 years. I was also a preschool teacher and helped run a toddlers camp. I have cared for families with up to 4 children doing all kinds of activities like playing in the pool with kids to washing dishes after dinner while helping with homework. I have sat for newborns and kids up to the age of 14 and am comfortable with all ages. I was a lifeguard in the past and am CPR certified. I have worked with children with moderate disabilities and behavioral issues. I have also volunteered/interned at elementary schools in the area. I speak and understand beginner spanish. My family has a dog in which I care for most of the time, and I love all dogs. My caregiving philosophy is fulfilling the needs of the children by the directions given to me by the parents. All families have Read more unique ways of raising their kids and I am happy to abide by their rules when spending time with the children.
