About Amber

Experience: 6 yrs

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.

My wife and I interviewed Amber and were very impressed with her. We ended up having some changes and had different nanny needs arise. Although we didn't work with her, we were impressed with her enough that it warranted leaving a positive review on her behalf after our interview process.
