I am a dedicated home child care professional with over 15 years of experience. I have two children of my own. I am a mother first and fore most. I love children and making life a little bit brighter for them. I enjoy music time as I believe that music brings light to the soul. I also enjoy reading time. Its a chance to let a little bit of magic into a childs life and see there imaginations at work. I also firmly believe in learning. I have an active play time that includes arts and crafts and science and basic structure. I do furnish all meals and snacks and when planning a healthy meal i also tend to try to put a little bit of learning into it. The children get to learn about different places in the world through the meals that they eat. I am a firm believer of fresh home cooked meals. Not that having an occasional lunch or dinner out is out of the question. I just believe that we should have a balance to our nutrition. Fridays are our fun nights that will include the occasional pizza and pj party in the evening for those on second shift. It is accompanied with a childrens movie that they get to pick and earn during the week. I believe each new day gives us a new chance to brighten the life of a child. We are the structure that holds may together.

Hi, I'm Amanda, and I offer full or part time daycare, as well as occasional or as-needed babysitting. I will make sure your child is in a fun, loving, safe environment; will provide opportunity for your child to explore, imagine and create; and will nurture your child with lots of hugs, high fives and praise when they succeed and encouragement when they are challenged. I have spent 9 years creating a rich, child-centered, healthy environment for my own children and I'd like to do that for your child as well. My daycare is licensed and I offer full and part-time care for children ages newborn to five years old. My hours are 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. I prepare a healthy breakfast, lunch and two snacks a day for the children. I can adapt meals for a child with allergies (daughter has a serious nut allergy). My discipline policy, depending on the age of the child, is to use reinforcement, discussion and/or redirection when misbehavior occurs, with time out as a last resort. I keep a daily log and can send pictures and/or texts about your child. I taught my two daughters (now 7 and 9) how to sign when they were babies and would be happy to do that with your child. My fee is $50 a day for full-time and I offer discounts in certain circumstances. Fees for occasional or as-needed babysitting are negotiable and depend on the number of children and when the care is needed. Our day will include age appropriate activities, with a preschool curriculum chosen to ensure your child hits all the developmental milestones. We engage in pre-literacy activities and read every day, celebrate holidays around the world, have a cooking class once a week, sing songs and engage in imaginative play. We will slay dragons, put on puppet shows, explore the garden with all its creepy crawlies, do science experiments and arts and crafts. Every day will be a happy, educational day for your child. I will guide your child in the acquisition of communication and language skills, self confidence, respect for self and others, manners and kindness to all living things. My experience includes current volunteer work as a Sunday school teacher, leader of two Girl Scout troops, multiple courses in child development, organizing and teaching VBS at my church and weekly volunteering in the library at my daughter's school. I would love to meet you and your child to see if we are a good fit. Let's talk!
