BERCO

Founder & First Mate
Hi, I’m Amanda

I’m a mom, entrepreneur, founder of Busy Bees Babysitting, and someone who has always believed life should have a little more fun in it. I love bringing people together, discovering new places, celebrating the everyday moments, and sharing the brands, experiences, and little luxuries that make life better.

My world is a mix of motherhood, business, travel, friendship, family adventures, great food, sunshine, and plenty of reasons to say YES. I share it all with a playful point of view, a sense of humor, and a genuine love for connecting people with things I’m excited about.

I call San Diego home, where life is usually some mix of family, business, beach days, great food, and finding the next fun thing to say yes to.

Around here, I’m all about creating a life I love and having plenty of fun along the way. I’m building businesses, raising my girl, making memories with the people I love, and saying yes to the moments that make life feel full.
