About Amy

38 years old Speaks English French
I am a Registered Early Childhood Educator. Before that I worked as a Sunday school teacher and a babysitter for families. My educational philosophy is that children learn best through play. Additionally, I know that for children to be engaged in learning they have to feel safe and secure in their surroundings and caregivers. I know that young children thrive on routine and pride myself on being able to provide that. I also know that when working with young children that one must also be flexible. Through my experience and education as an educator I have developed skills for caring for and guiding young children. I am great at observing and documenting children’s growth, development, interests, and achievements. I enjoy working with children and their families to develop meaningful relationships. I am patient, kind, and empathetic; I pride myself on being able to put children at ease. I love children. My personal philosophy follows closely with the R.I.E. method. I like to set up a room and let the children explore on their own. I make caregiving moments like feeding, diapers changes, and sleep time moments for attachment. My favorite part of the day is singing babies to sleep. Please contact me for my full resume.
