I have over 15 years of experience working in childcare and early childhood education. Throughout my career, I have cared for and supported children of various ages while creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments. I have experience working closely with families, helping children grow socially, emotionally, and developmentally. My experience has also included leadership responsibilities as an Assistant Director, where I help oversee staff, students, and the daily operations of a preschool.
Hi there! My name is Amanda! I am a recent Master's of Education graduate looking for some occasional work. I have been babysitting since I was 11. I am the oldest of 8 children, and helped my parents out with summer care when I was younger. Most recently, I was a Kindergarten teacher for the last 4 years, and worked in a daycare before that. During the school year, my schedule is more limited. I am able to help with homework, light household duties, and take care of pets. I have my own reliable vehicle and can run errands if needed. I am First Aid and CPR certified I am looking for some occasional work, especially for the last part of summer, but also over the school year as well!
