Hello! My name is Amber Swain, and I am passionate about providing nurturing care and support to children. With 20+ years of experience working with children and families, I have had the privilege of helping children grow and thrive in a loving environment. I believe in creating a safe and stimulating atmosphere where children can explore, learn, and express themselves freely. I have been working as a Registered Behavioral Therapist for the past 5 years before taking up work as a Nanny with a family in Arvada, Colorado. I live in Golden Colorado. From organizing fun educational activities to fostering healthy routines, I am dedicated to promoting each child's physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Communication and collaboration with parents are essential to me, as I believe in building strong partnerships to ensure the best care for the children entrusted to me. I am patient, compassionate, and committed to making a Read more positive impact on the lives of the families I work with. Outside of childcare, I enjoy being outdoors, by the water, cooking, reading books, and traveling, which often inspire creative and enriching experiences for the children under my care. I continuously seek opportunities for professional development to enhance my skills and knowledge in childcare. I’m from a family of 5, and was raised in a daycare. I’ve been working in Daycare, Childcare Centers, and Autism Centers ever since! I have experience with High-scope curriculum, Montessori, and RIE method. I have been CPR/first aid certified for most of my life as well as I have experience as a lifeguard. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my passion for childcare to your family and to contribute to the well-being and happiness of your children.
