Hi there! I’m Amara Harper, a second-year student at the University of Oregon with a genuine passion for caring for little ones. I bring years of babysitting experience through a few trusted platforms, and I also come from a big family full of younger kids—so I’ve always had a natural connection with children. Keeping kids safe, engaged, and smiling is something I truly love. Being one of the middle children in my family growing up gave me great perspective, I have three older brothers and a younger sister who have all been such blessings! With a big heart and a knack for turning frowns upside down, I specialize in making playtime epic and snack time delicious. Throughout high school and into college I have had a concentration on the arts and love to get crafty and use some imagination. Whether it’s arts and crafts, storytime adventures, or perfecting the ultimate Read more snack, I aim to create a fun and nurturing environment where your child feels happy and secure. I’d love the chance to partner with any parent looking for a reliable, caring, and enthusiastic helping hand. I am new to this app and for that reason I don't have any reviews yet, however, I would be more than happy to provide some references for families to check out when we touch base. Let’s connect!
