About Amanda
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Experienced aunt, graduate student, lover of coloring, pets, and playtime. Looking to help out with your family! My first job with children was babysitting 4 young kids at 13 years old. After that, I worked in many childcare jobs including grade-level aftercare at age 16, summer camp bus aide jobs at 18, and special education jobs at 20. Once I graduated college I focused on my professional career and became a project manager at a large successful tech company. After leaving that job this past year I reflected on what I truly desired to do for a living and determined project management was not the path for me. I have decided to focus on my love for helping kids and I am earning my master's degree in education concentrating in school counseling. I am looking for a loving, fun family to provide care for while I attend classes. If this sounds like a good fit for your family please reach out! My reviews are available on the Care. com app :)

I first met Amanda when I had my oldest daughter back in 2020 so heavy pandemic times and she saved me I could count on her to be safe and clean around my newborn and help with everything I needed as a new mom she provided company as well as care to my new daughter during a time when no family was around to help and my husband had to work. When she arrived in the morning the day just got better and I could relax and honestly shower in peace knowing my girl was okay. Amanda is kind and playful while also willing to hold a screaming baby. We moved away so she dosnt come around anymore but we keep in touch and anyone would be lucky to have her be a part of their kids lives for however long that may be
