As a childcare worker for over a decade I started off working in Windsor Public Schools as a Before/After School Program Leader along with working as a STEM teacher in summer camp. Next I worked in daycares as both a Lead Infant/Toddler Teacher and as Floating Teacher. Most recently I was a Math/Reading Interventionist, giving individualized and small group instruction to children struggling academically. I also have experience with special needs children and providing ABA play-based therapy to children with autism. Although I’ve had many different roles in the early childhood field, the times where I feel most fulfilled are when a family reaches out to me and entrusts me with the responsibility of caring for their children in their home. I am a mother to my 5-year-old son, so I know firsthand the fear that comes along with searching for someone safe and qualified. I love being able to Read more provide peace of mind to other moms like me and I look forward to helping support your family too.

Amy came to my rescue when I messaged her about last minute help with less than 24 hour notice. She arrived at our home energetic and ready to help out. She was amazing with toddler and sick infant. You can tell Amy has a lot of experience as both a nanny and Mom. I highly recommend! Thank you Amy for turning a potential disaster into a great day!

Amy watched my 4-year-old for a few weeks. She is an excellent nanny who took great care of my son. She is punctual, dependable, and very understanding. She has a wonderful personality and an enthusiasm towards working with children. She always brought along her son’s toys and books for the kids. She kept them engaged throughout the day with educational activities, sensory and outdoor play. She also made sure the house was neat and tidy before leaving. Amy is a great nanny, and we were lucky to have her!

I highly recommend Amy as a nanny. She watched over my three children (ages 9, 8 and 3 1/2 years) for 9 months. It was a pleasure to have her in our home and she did a wonderful job watching our children. Amy always came to work on time and cheerful. She often brought her son's toys that my youngest daughter loved playing with. She did a wonderful job keeping my daughter busy and engaged. She was so accommodating with our schedules, always flexible and willing to help out. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her as a nanny.
