Amanda $40 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated educator and parent with 17 years of Elementary teaching experience and a Master’s degree in School Counseling. Over nearly two decades, I have guided children of all ages through their academic, social, and emotional development. My background in school counseling equips me with a deeply empathetic, patient approach, allowing me to connect with children on their level, foster emotional resilience, and tailor activities to their unique learning styles. As a parent of two children of my own, I bring both professional expertise and real-world parenting instincts to every family I support. I understand firsthand the trust it takes to hand off your little ones, as well as the importance of maintaining a safe, calm, and joyful household rhythm. Whether guiding homework, leading creative projects, or facilitating positive play, my goal is to create a warm environment where your child feels heard, confident, and engaged. I am also a big cat lover with three of my own, as well as a snake and hamster as pets! I look forward to partnering with your family!
