Greetings! My name is Amanda Savage. As a former executive (STEM Fields), I decided to leave the hustle and bustle of the corporate world and relocate to my hometown, where I could focus on nurturing the farm my husband and I worked so hard for and serving my community. Before my corporate career, I spent nearly a decade as an ICU nurse, providing compassionate care to those in need. However, my background in caregiving began even earlier when I worked as a nanny for a 10-month-old infant during my college years. That experience ignited a passion for childcare that has stayed with me to this day. I continued my nanny career during college, caring for three children for four years. During that time, I also had the privilege of homeschooling the youngest child and experiencing the sheer joy of watching a curious mind develop. I have worked in homes privately, Read more including caring for elderly patients with a variety of medical conditions. My love of learning and creative play, combined with a firm belief in the benefits of outdoor play for young minds, has inspired my approach to childcare. I firmly believe that a rich and diverse experience can help children grow into well-rounded, happy adults. I understand firsthand the immense challenges of balancing a fulfilling career with the responsibility of raising happy, healthy children. As a seasoned caregiver, it would be my privilege to collaborate with a family for whom I can provide high-quality childcare for the long haul. I am not only committed to meeting your family's needs, but also to exploring all potential options to ensure that your unique circumstances are fully addressed. My ultimate goal is to deliver peace of mind, support, and a nurturing environment for your children, so that you can have the confidence to pursue your professional endeavors. Let's connect and discuss how I can make a positive impact in the lives of your family.
