About Amber

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! I'm Amber, an experienced nanny and developmental support caregiver who enjoys creating a warm, supportive, and engaging environment for children. My approach is relationship-based and child-led, with an emphasis on building trust, encouraging independence, supporting emotional regulation, and helping children feel understood and secure. I have experience working with children with a wide range of personalities, learning styles, developmental needs, and support levels, including autism and ADHD. I'm comfortable supporting routines, transitions, play, communication, homework, sensory needs, and everyday life skills. I try to look beyond behavior and understand what a child may be communicating or needing in the moment. My goal is to meet each child where they are while providing consistent, patient, and thoughtful care.

Amber was just amazing. Our son LOVED the six hours they spent together. Amber structured the time beautifully, allowing for both focused work and play. I felt so at ease leaving our son with her and will definitely have her babysit again soon!
