Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a former special education teacher with over six years of classroom experience, and caring for children has always been more than a job for me, it’s something I truly love. Today, I focus on providing thoughtful, one‑on‑one support as a babysitter and tutor, helping children feel safe, confident, and supported while they learn and grow. When babysitting, I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I enjoy building meaningful connections through play, conversation, and routine whether that means reading books before bedtime, playing board games, doing arts and crafts, or helping kids wind down after a busy day. I’m attentive to routines like meals, homework time, and bedtime, and I approach transitions with patience and care, especially for children who benefit from extra structure or reassurance. As a tutor, I support children with homework, skill-building, and learning routines in ways that Read more feel encouraging rather than stressful. I break tasks into manageable steps, use visuals or hands‑on activities when helpful, and celebrate effort and progress along the way. For example, I might turn math practice into a game, help a child organize their assignments with a simple checklist, or use drawing and writing prompts to strengthen reading and writing skills while keeping things engaging. I’ve worked with children of all ages and abilities, and my background in special education helps me tailor my approach to each child’s learning style, energy level, and needs. Families often tell me they appreciate my kindness, consistency, and clear communication, as well as the balance I strike between structure and fun. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and playful space where children feel supported, capable, and cared for and where parents feel confident knowing their child is in loving, reliable hands. If you’re looking for a babysitter and tutor who will treat your child with genuine care and make the day a little brighter, I would love to connect.

Trust & safety
