About Amanda

Experience: 3 yrs

Nurturing children comes naturally to me - I worked at TLE daycare in Newtown for 3 years as a floater which gave me experience with children of all ages and personalities. I'm patient, friendly, and creative. I love playing games, doing crafts, and keeping kids engaged through activities-including outdoor play, board games, and some tech-based games. I also don't mind helping with light housekeeping, cooking, or swimming supervision if needed. I've completed some Early Childhood Development coursework, I am currently in college, and have taken CPR training! I'm comfortable caring for 1-3 children ages 3-12+, and I always follow your household rules and routines closely. I'm happy to share updates at pickup or by text. I've also pet-sat dogs, cats, and even chickens-sometimes staying overnight-so I'm completely comfortable in homes with pets! I look forward to supporting your family with thoughtful care and bringing a positive energy into your home!
