About Amanda

Over the past 4 years I have learned a lot about infants and young children. After graduating from the GVSU nursing program, I worked in an adolescent psychiatric hospital providing therapeutic care to children suffering from a wide range of mental health conditions. My most recent RN position was as a labor and delivery nurse before I gave birth to my daughter in 2023. Since then I have been working as a lead infant teacher in childcare centers for a better home/work life balance. My activities of choice with kids are reading and storytelling, crafts, nature walks, imaginative play, and dance parties. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children between the ages of 0 and 6. I am hoping to match with a family that would allow me to bring my 2-year-old daughter along with me! She loves to play and make friends, and adores babies! At my current center she sings songs to the crying infants and finds their pacifiers for them if they fall down or get lost.
