About Amanda

Experience: 10 yrs

I have over 30 years of experience working with children of all ages. I was a teacher for 27 years. I specifically geared the latter part of my career working with children that have special needs. Recently, I was a paralegal for a law firm that, unfortunately, had to lay me off due to financial difficulties. I'd describe my personality as kind, loving and nurturing. I'm looking for a job that helps families in need and to continue building mentor to child relationships. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my daughter, read, walk my furbaby and spend time with my loved ones. My skills include active listening, guiding and nurturing childhood authenticities. I believe in using positive redirection based on the child's personality. I love experiencing true joy in teaching a variety of life skills:). I love working with the parents according to what works best for them. Consistency across the board is key. It's hokey but teamwork makes the dream work:)

We just hired Amanda but she is already proving to be an absolute God-send for our 3 month old daughter. She is so good with her and is putting this hormonal-mess-of-a-first-time-mom-returning-to-work at ease. Amanda is always a few minutes early, patient and easy going and happily offered to pitch in with light chores as needed without being asked. She has all the confidence of an experienced mom and is also very inquisitive and receptive to our parenting style/ what works for us and our baby. We just love her!!
