Hello! My name is Amanda and I am 30 yrs. old. I've had a lot of experience working with children in many different environments, and in fact, what I love most of all is playing a part in helping kids grow, play and learn! I have lived in the Washington, D.C. area for about 10 years now. As I continue to achieve some career goals, I am looking to care for children part-time in the meantime. I have 7 years experience working as a professional nanny for four different families, 6 years experience as a camp counselor and camp director during the summers, and two years experience as an after-school program teacher. I have babysat since I was 14 for family, neighbors, friends, etc. I am punctual and enjoy structure, but I also believe in having a lot of fun! I love thinking of creative ways to keep children active, engaged, and Read more learning while babysitting. I have great references from both past and present employers, and I would love to have a chance to provide an honest and fun babysitting service to you and your children!
