About Amanda
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi there! I'm Amanda, a retired massage therapist of 15-years; my practice was located in Monterey. I have 10+ years of childcare experience with ages 2mos - 15yo, including plenty of live-in experience taking care of my younger nephews. My passion for caring for sweet littles began when I was just 17yo; I was a live-in nanny for my nephew from the ages of 6mos - 6yo. Best "job" ever! Since leaving my career as a MT, I've helped multiple friends/families with babysitting, as well as a part-time nanny position for two children under 5yo and keeping the household clean and tidy. I've always adored working with infants and children and would love to find a family to fill my schedule [part-time] once again. I am a positive, energetic and nurturing person who's reliable and always on time. My schedule is flexible, and I'm also happy to help with laundry, organizing, some housekeeping, food prep/cooking and grocery shopping/errands. References upon request.

Amanda is phenomenal! She helped take care of my 9-month old daughter for a whole week while my husband was out of town. I was nervous because our little one was having a tough time with teething pain, constipation, and separation anxiety. Our daughter often refused to have anyone (including her grandparents) feed her, change her diaper, and put her down, but I really needed an extra pair of hands while my husband was out. So grateful we found Amanda! Her glowing reviews were spot on. She was confident, calm, and absolutely wonderful with our daughter. She quickly got up to speed on our routine and was an expert when it came to feeding our discerning daughter a bottle, changing her diaper, playing with her, making her a healthy meal, and putting her down for a nap. We were shocked to see how quickly our little girl took to Amanda – she truly has the magic touch. We were also impressed with her punctuality (was always early), dependability (immediately won our trust), flexibility (adapted her schedule to meet our needs), and independence (incredibly fast learner). Although we intended to only hire her for that week, we ended up liking her so much that we’ve decided to continue having her help out a couple times a week while we’re living in Monterey.
