Hello all! My name is Amanda and I’m a young professional, Florida transplant with South American roots. I have many years of experience working with children of various age groups (from infants to adolescents). I started babysitting when I was 15 years old, nanny full time and part time throughout college and have most recently worked as a nanny/house manager for a Seattle family. I also taught preschool(3-5yo) prior to covid. My former employers, coworkers and friends would describe me as reliable, caring and warm. My personal strengths while working with children all derive from genuinely connecting with them and providing them the best support so they can develop all their skills. I practice positive discipline and always use a gentle approach based on mutual respect with kids of all ages. My knowledge of child development allows me to create fun and age appropriate activities for different ages and ultimately Read more meet the children where they’re at. While my vast experience allows me to be able to successfully take on challenges like potty training and behavioral issues. I think that my overall ability to provide children a safe, warm and inviting environment is truly my greatest strength of all. I’m a caregiver, teacher, professional storyteller, fun connoisseur and safety administrator. Things that set me apart from others are my experience as a nanny/household manager and preschool teacher, my language skills (I’m fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and conversational in French and Italian), and my reliability.
