About Amaya
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! My name is Amaya. My passion for caring for little ones began the day my baby brother was born when I was 9 years old, and my adoration for him grew everyday. Since graduating high school in 2020, I've been working as a full-time nanny. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of nannying for four families. Currently, I care for the sweetest 2-year-old girl, who will be moving out of state in July. I'm also a part-time student at Kirkwood and am looking for a morning and afternoon position, ideally around 30-35 hours a week. While I have experience with children of all ages, I am most confident and passionate about caring for infants. I take pride in my gentle parenting approach, attentiveness, and warm, calm demeanor. I love to be playful and encourage positive expression and creativity, as well as taking children on outings and exploring nature. I look forward to speaking with you!

Amaya was our full-time nanny for more than a year for our daughter, beginning at age 12 weeks! We are sadly moving out of state, which is why Amaya is looking for a new opportunity. We truly wish she could move with us. I can't say enough wonderful things about Amaya. She is always on time, super responsive, reliable, and caring. She leaves our house and kitchen spotless every day. Our daughter (now 15 months) squeals with delight every time Amaya walks in the door. One of my favorite things about Amaya is how interactive she is with our daughter. She talks to her SO much. They have SO much fun interacting together, and it's always been that way, even at just a few months old. Amaya was excellent with a newborn. Great with bottles, breastmilk, soothing, diapers, etc. But she's also been excellent with our older daughters (ages 4 and 7). Our whole family loves Amaya, and we hope she finds a new wonderful family to help out. She's a treasure.
