About Amber
Experience: 6 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
With over five years of experience, I've cared for children from 0-13yrs. As both a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) and former educator, I provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment tailored to each child's needs. As a mother with a Montessori background, I emphasize hands-on learning, imaginative play, and curiosity, while teaching life skills and maintaining structure. I also offer school pick-ups/drop-offs, light housekeeping, and healthy meal prep. My passion for childcare began as a teen volunteering at a local safe haven. Since then, I've been committed to helping children grow into confident, independent individuals. I love seeing the world through their eyes and making each day an adventure. In my free time, I enjoy reading which I love sharing with the kids I care for. I bring creativity, patience, and warmth to every role, treating every child as if they were my own and providing a space where they feel safe, supported, and truly cared for.

Amber cared for our infant son since he was 4 months old. She was incredibly attentive and nurturing and worked with us through starting solids, sleep regressions, and ensuring lots of playtime during wake windows. She was very reliable and a great communicator, ensuring we were a team. Amber also brought along her daughter who is close in age to my son and it worked out so well for our family. I knew she was giving the same care to my son as she would her own daughter.
