I'm very passionate about working with children with special needs. I am currently going to graduate school to become a speech- language pathologist. I have experience working as an ABA (behavioral) therapist and have also worked in a private speech therapy clinic. I am well equipped to work with children with all types of disorders, and have experience working with children with Autism and Down syndrome. No matter what the challenge, I am willing and equipped to handle children that need special attention. Know that you will be leaving your child in good hands. I am available for date nights out on Fri. and Sat. nights. Looking forward to meeting you and your children!

    Amanda has cared for and worked extensively with our autistic daughter. Over the past several years we have had significant opportunity to observe Amanda; we have also gotten to know her very well, personally. We are very confident in making this recommendation, and know without reservation what an exceptional person she is. Amanda plans and facilitates numerous activities with our daughter and deals with behaviors which arise (they always do ). One of Amanda s best traits is her ability to be flexible (special needs kids often require changes to even the best laid plans). Amanda has handled everything from toilet training to swim parties, and everything in between. Numerous positive qualities about Amanda stand out I ll mention a few. She is deeply caring and professional. Amanda is also extremely reliable (she shows up on time and jumps right in). But above all Amanda is passionate about helping others (in our case our daughter). We can positively and unequivocally give Amanda our highest recommendation.
