Description
Hi there! My name is Amanda and I am 29 years old. I have lived in California, New York, Spain, Mexico, and Albania. Some of my passions include travel, cooking, baking, reading, writing, theater, and music. I adore the ocean, and am an experienced swimmer and diver. I also play guitar and sing, and in my spare time I love to be active in whatever way I can. I have worn many hats in my work life, from bartender to farmhand to English teacher. It is my greatest desire in life to never, ever stop learning.

More details about your skills
I am a jack of all trades, master of some. I was Valedictorian of my high school and graduated from university with two degrees and high honors. My degrees are in English (BA), and Theater (Acting, BFA). I love academics; I have tutored all subjects to people of all ages, and have also worked as an elementary school teacher in a classroom setting. I have extensive experience in the restaurant/hospitality industry, having worked as a server/bartender on and off for many years. Food and wine are two of my greatest passions. I have also worked as an actress and a musician (I sing and play the guitar). I am an extremely strong swimmer and experienced ocean diver. I am athletic: I played basketball, volleyball, and ran track in school. More recently, I have developed a love for hot yoga, running, and pilates. I am a very active person. I speak Spanish and English and am a very fast learner. My most extensive area of expertise is in working with youth; I have been a professional nanny on and off for the past fifteen years.
