About Amanda

I have been working with youth and families for five years. While I have experience with ages birth to 18 years, my professional experience has focused on infant care. In addition to 70 plus hours of training related to youth care, I am working towards completing my associates degree in Early childhood education (only two semesters left!) I chose to enter this field because I believe working hands on with youth gives me the opportunity to be a positive caring force they may need. Every child who enters my care I care for with best, and developmentally appropriate practice in mind. I truly believe infants and children have the greatest capacity to change our world. When their minds, bodies and spirits are cared for properly they will develop into kind, caring and productive life long learners. I have experience with a medium of arts, though would not consider myself musically inclined. I am adventurous and always willing to try new things, especially outdoors!
