This is a criminal background check required for all caregivers before they can message families.
Experience: 10 yrs
I have over 10 years of experience with kids of all ages, from babysitting, nannying, running children theatre, camp counselor and most recently working helping run educational nature programs for children. I am a big supporter of child led learning through play. It is how kids process and grow. Outside adventures are my jam. Nature hike, creek stomping, playground hopping- everything is better outdoors! I am not a cruise director, I do not provide constant entertainment. But I provide opportunities and encouragement to use imagination and creativity. I strongly believe in being an active observer- I to be present mentally, emotionally and physically to connect and learn and grow with the kids I'm with. I am mom to a lovely 4-year-old, who on occasion may need to come with me (when school is closed).
We can’t recommend Amanda enough. For the past 1.5yrs, she cared for our daughter alongside another child the same age in a nanny share arrangement (6mo - 2yrs old). The only reason our time together is ending is that our family is moving. Every day she planned adventures for the kids, getting them out to explore while also making sure they had plenty of fun, engaging time at home. She is wonderful at connecting with children through reading, playing, and conversation.
