Look no further you have found your ideal babysitter! Positive outlook, therapeutic art activities, patience and spirited energy is what I strive to bring to each child's experience connecting with me. With a background in Education, Integrative Nutrition, and over 6 years of hands on experience working with children of all backgrounds and ages I am always motivated to meet the needs of the children I babysit. Super passionate about the outdoors, art, and cooking! If given the opportunity I always like to provide age friendly activities with an intention of self-awareness and personal growth. Plus the overall enjoyment of experiencing something new. Currently hold an active certification in CPR and First Aid. Allow me the opportunity to babysit your next date night! Cheers. Amy Santis

Amy was really fun, easy to work with, and highly engaged with the kids. I would certainly use her again if we were in the area.

Amy is a great sitter. We recently moved to Chevy Chase and have used her many times to care for our two kids. She engages them, keeps them to their schedule, and most importantly is very responsible. I highly recommend her. One of the best sitters we have had! Mary
