Hello, My name is Amanda. I am a single mom of 2 girls ages 12 and 7. I have been in child care for 15+ year. I have worked with children of all ages ranging from newborn to middle school in a verity of settings, from in-home, before and after school, preschools and in the home of the child(ren). I love arts and crafts and allowing the child to express their creativity through art and play. I enjoying being outside when weather permits, but also think it is an important part of learning is to get some outside time. We do live in Washington so bundling up in the cold or putting on boots and rain coats is important to me. I also enjoying watching children grow in their own ways, letting them try tasks before interfering, and coming to a gentle resolution if there is a conflict. I look Read more forward to speaking with you about further opportunities
