About Amanda

Experience: 9 yrs

My name is Amanda but I go by Izzy; I am 21. I have worked with kids 4 months to 12 years old. I'd describe my personality as bubbly, nurturing, and patient. I like working with kids because of the joy I get from witnessing their curiosity and growth and the opportunity to see the world through their unique perspective. I am looking to expand my professional development and be a positive influence for the children. I started working with kids around the age of 7. In my spare time, I like to go outside, do yoga and watch my favorite shows. One thing you should know about me is that I believe in working closely with parents to understand their expectations and preferences, while also keeping them informed about their child's development and well-being. My skills include my ability to create engaging and educational activities. As well as providing a nurturing and safe environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I am very organized and have strong communication skills.

Izzy has been babysitting my son since he was in 2nd grade. He absolutely adores her! She keeps him busy and active with walks, playing catch, taking him on adventures, etc and more recently helping him with his homework (he’s 10 now). She’s great with meals and snacks - she’s an excellent cook! She always tries to accommodate my babysitting needs, she’s even picked him up from school for me a few days I was running late. She has great intuition, is very patient, but also knows when to be firm. She’s just the sweetest gal, we lucked out finding her!
