I am a twenty-six year old student with a background in the arts, and over four years of experience as a full and part time Nanny. I recently moved back to the Berkshires after a year and a half pursuing a master's degree in Museum Studies in Berkeley, CA. I'm currently writing my thesis for said degree and I'm looking for part-time babysitting work to fill out my schedule. Along with art I'm interested in education, learning through play, and stimulating creative development in children. Kids are constantly soaking things in and learning and as long as I'm watching them I'll be doing my best to keep them engaged, having fun, and learning things at the same time. Whether your child is into art projects, science experiments, sports, gardening, or just playing board games I will be an active participant in their activities and make sure everything's tidy by the Read more time you get home : ) From four years of experience taking care of children I've realized that being a caretaker requires a lot of patience, discipline and self-sacrifice, but a sense of humor and an even stronger sense of fun help a whole lot too. I choose to babysit on the side of my other obligations because being around kids keeps me energized, inspired, and happy in a way that most part-time jobs don't.

Amanda babysat for us 3 times during our week long trip to the Berkshires. She was very sweet with our children. She was very engaging by reading stories, painting and playing. We were very happy with her services and will definitely hire her again when visiting the area. I highly recommend her.
