About Amanda

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello! My name is Amanda. I have many years of experience with both younger and older children and I love working with both. I started nannying when I was about 17 years old and I loved it so much that I've continued to do so. I have a BA in Psychology-Child and Adolescent Development and am completing my MA in Elementary Education. I am CPR and First Aid certified for both infants and children. My duties as a child care provider have included pick up/drop off from school, preparing snacks and meals, helping with homework, playing games, doing arts and crafts, outdoor activities, diaper changes, potty training, bathing, preparing bottles (breast milk/formula), light housework, putting down for naps, and the basic everyday needs. I was also employed at the Altus AFB Child Development Center for a year and a half and had extensive training from the facility. I have reliable transportation that fits multiple car seats. I also have my own daughters who are 4 (in school) and 1-year-old.

Amanda was an amazing nanny and friend to our family. We hired her to take care of our 11 month old daughter and she stayed with us for over two years, only moving on when we moved away. She helped our daughter learn to walk, talk, and become an empathetic, kind child. From the beginning she was always punctual and reliable. She has good instincts and knowledge in terms of raising a small child in a safe and supportive environment. She was willing to listen as we had some very particular requests, and she always helped us with those. Our daughter thrived in her presence. As she began to talk, it became clear just how much her vocabulary was improving with Amanda when we would come home and she knew all sorts of new words we had not taught her. She has learned to put away her own toys and clothes as well. I'm out of space, so please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. She will be glad to give my email or phone number. Anthony
