We’ve been fortunate enough to work with Amanda as our full-time nanny for a year and a half now, since our daughter was six months old. We’re first-time parents who recently moved to Vancouver, and Amanda has been a lifesaver and a rock for us. She helped with all of our daughter’s major transitions, including sleep training and moving from two naps to one per day, as well as with the transition to solid food and even potty training. She’s kind, smart, engaged, and conscientious. She’s given us excellent advice whenever we need it, and has worked with us to help us figure out how to be the parents who we want to be and who our daughter needs. Our daughter is thriving and loves her, which is the strongest endorsement I can think of!

Dear Amanda, You have been such a pillar in Maisy’s introduction to self-sufficiency and we cant thank you enough. With Maisy being our first child and this being our first time leaving a child in the hands of others, it was a big deal and we felt so comfortable knowing she was there with you. You’ll always have a special place in our hearts. She has really flourished with her time at school and that is in part due to your dedication.

We, the Osborne family, would like to highly recommend Amanda, who worked as our Au pair and
lived with our family for a year from March 2016-March 2017.
She is a kind, responsible, caring young lady who we found to be patient, kind, thoughtful, and
responsible in all her dealings with our three children, who are close in age and, at times, challenging
to deal with.
She remained calm with them and demonstrated wonderful interest and insight into their ongoing
development and care. The children warmed to Amanda immediately, and they missed her when
she left to return to her native Canada.
