Meet Amy

- Comfortable with pets
I have 4 grown children. Two still in college. I have a Masters Degree and have worked all of my life in either education or healthcare. However, by far the best job I have ever had is being a mother. I also have tons of experience babysitting. I just turned 50 this year and am very active. My husband and I just moved to MN from Athens, GA as he accepted a new position within his company. We were the house that everyone came to growing up. I will forever miss those days. I was a working mom and one of the scariest things for me was finding quality childcare. I remember it so well. I was so fortunate to end up finding an awesome situation where my children stayed from infant thru Middle School. I have spent years running kids to and from practices, after school activities, doing homework, Read more projects, etc. So I am very experienced at juggling children of multiple ages, with different likes, dislikes and temperments. I am particularly skilled in writing and I have no problem making sure homework gets done. I love doing arts and crafts and have taught many many painting classes. I would love to paint with your kiddos if old enough. In the end, I love children of all ages. There is nothing like rocking a baby to sleep, helping a toddler discover the world, going on walks, going to parks, water play, reading books, and just having fun. If I sound like someone who could be a good fit for your child/children/or family, let's talk.
