About Amanda

Hi! My name is Amanda . I recently moved from Miami, Florida to Portland, Maine in May to pursue my graduate degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. My goal is to become a BCBA and work with children with autism. I bring several years of experience working with children with autism, intellectual disabilities, and nonverbal children. In addition to my background in education and behavioral support, I've worked in the medical field for 5 years, including multiple years in both pediatrics and gerontology. I've also been a dog walker/sitter with for over a year, so I'm comfortable around pets and happy to include them in my care. I'm passionate about children's growth and development, and I strive to make a positive impact in both a child's and parent's life. Families can count on me to be patient, calm, creative, imaginative, and approachable. I value open and reliable communication, and I want to be a dependable option that parents can trust.
