Hi parents! I'm a homemaker now. I earned my M.D. from Emory University in Atlanta, and I'm looking for something enriching to do in my free time. I love children! I have been nannying for 2 years, and I babysat through high school and graduate school. • One of my best experiences was caring for three hearing-impaired siblings. In medical school, I cared for sick and healthy children of all ages in hospitals and clinics.  I don't have my own children yet. • I grew up on a farm and love dogs and cats. • My philosophy for childcare is safety first. I'm a trained physician, and I care about keeping your kids safe. After that, I focus on learning, interaction, good manners, and fun. • I will ask you questions before you head out and abide by your rules . You're the parent! The only restriction is that I Read more will never slap or spank. If you have a discipline method, like time-outs, that's what I'll use. On the first appointment, I would like to spend some time with you and your kids to learn your parenting style and the way you like your children to behave. • I love to cook, especially vegetarian meals, and I'm happy to do light housework. • I'm delighted and competent to help with homework in almost any subject. My particular expertise is in science and health. My undergraduate degrees, from the University of Georgia, are in microbiology and political science. My graduate degree, from Emory University, is an M.D. My mother is an English teacher and I love to tutor literature and writing. I speak French and Spanish. • My schedule is very flexible. I can even spend the night once we build a rapport. • I have never committed a crime or been accused of a crime. • I'm happy to drive. My car has the latest safety features, like curtain airbags and whiplash-protection headrests. I will be happy to give you more information. • Please consider me to help with your crazy afternoons, your special date nights, or your evening obligations!

Amy was kind enough to look after our 5-week-old daughter when we needed a sitter at the last minute. She was wonderful with the baby, even managing to get her to sleep during her fussiest time of day. This was our first time leaving the baby with a sitter, and we couldn't have been more pleased. We look forward to having Amy sit for us again very soon.

Amy is fantastic. She has a lot of patience with the kids and is eager to engage them in fun activities to keep them occupied. She asks all the right questions about the kids before watching them, and she send us a txt message frequently to let us know how things are going, which we love! I would definitely recommend her to other parents, she's great!
