Meet Amanda

I am a caring and responsible early childhood professional available for occasional or recurring babysitting in the Bushwick/East Williamsburg/Ridgewood area. I have a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and have been working with children in schools, summer camps, tutoring, and babysitting positions for over 10 years. As a trained and experienced teacher, I possess a wealth of knowledge about early childhood development, positive behavior management, learning through play, and guiding children in critical thinking. I understand the importance of engaging children in fun, creative, and relevant activities that allow them to explore and learn from the world around them. As evidenced by my career, I truly enjoy working with children and aim to treat each child I encounter as a unique individual, worthy of my respect. Having been born in South America to American parents, I grew up speaking both English and Spanish and consider myself bilingual. I enjoy Read more cooking, reading, crafting, and being outside enjoying nature. I pride myself on being organized and don't mind light housework, cooking, or dog-walking/pet care.
