Meet Amanda
- Speaks English
- Comfortable with pets
I am a highly energetic former nanny who watched after a pair of young boys for three years. I am a trained EMT with a CPR and first aid certification. I have experience with asthma, diabetes, and low/medium support needs ASD. I have watched after twins - including a pair of premature girls, triplets, and older siblings with infants. I'm familiar with sitting multiple children and have watched up to 6 at once. I am very firm about household rules, extremely reliable, and very comfortable with animals. I have managed potty training, cloth diapers, and taught the younger of the two boys I nannied to read, recognize shapes, and colours. I am a non-smoker and have reliable transportation to and from engagements, at this time I am not offering pick up/drop off of children.

Amanda was awesome. She watched my 10,9 and 3 year old and did a fantastic job with all three. She played life with my 10 year old and handled a 3 year tantrum with poise and professionalism. Defienitely will call her again!
