About Amanda

I'm currently finishing my master's degree in literacy education and am on a leave of absence from my career as a teacher. I am looking for a job that keeps me in the field of working with children while giving me the flexibility to finish my schooling. I started working with kids when I was a teenager. I always had an interest in babysitting, so I began that job in high school. During high school and college I worked as a certified life guard/pool director. Due to this job experience, I am well-versed in CPR and first-aid. During college and after, I nannied for a family with two young children, ages 2 and 4. I am also a certified elementary school teacher and have 5 years of experience in the classroom. In my spare time, I like to spend time outdoors with my fiancé and dog. We enjoy long walks, hikes, and finding ice cream spots! I also enjoy reading. This year, my goal is to read one book starting with each letter of the alphabet
