About Amanda
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello everyone! I live in Memphis, TN. For some reason, I am unable to update my location! I have over 15 years of experience working in childcare. I am currently a 7th grade math teacher, and I have been a professional teacher for five years. In college, I worked in a daycare with children from 1 month to 5 years old. I also spent summers as a day camp counselor. I have a Master's degree in Education, and I am working on a second Master's in Instructional Leadership. When working with children I prioritize guided creative play. I think it's important that children have the chance to play safely and use their imaginations (they are children after all). I use positive language and reinforcement and maintain a sense of organization and structure.
