Meet Amanda

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets

Hello! My name is Amanda I am 36 years old and I've worked with children in various ways since I was 10. Starting with babysitting when I was young, then I worked in 2 different in home daycares with as many as 10 children at a time. From there I moved to professional daycares. Lastly I have worked in behavioral settings and with children that have special needs. I love engaging with children and getting down on their level. I am the kind of caregiver that gets down on the floor and plays with children. Activities like reading, outside play, imaginative play, learning new skills and learning about the world around them are so important to overall development. I always respect parents rules and restrictions, open communication is vital as well. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have!
