Meet Amanda

As the youngest sibling (and cousin) in my family, I always wanted a little brother or sister so once I was old enough to babysit, I jumped on the opportunity. I'm a former swimming instructor, having worked at Saf-t-Swim and teaching kids from my neighborhood. I also have experience in tutoring, with particular success in math so homework help is not a problem! I'm a step-mom to an amazing 5 year old girl and a sister-in-law to four energetic kids aged 5-9. I've babysat infants as young as 4 months and pre-teens as old as 12, most of the time 2 or more siblings at a time. I enjoy participating in activities that I did as a kid, playing outside, freeze-tag and blanket forts, showing kids that you can have fun without the tv or computer. I enjoy the energy of children, having just graduated from law school and taken Read more the NY bar in July, I look forward to a different kind of work in babysitting.
