Experience: 20 yrs
We are moving back to the Grand Rapids/Hudsonville are. Nurturing children and watching them grow has been my lifelong joy. With over 20+ years of experience, including 10+ as a paraprofessional in both special ed. and general ed., I bring a calm, empathetic, patient and fun approach to every family I support. I hold certifications in CPR Training and First Aid Training, and my background from babysitting so so much growing up to now having worked in schools allows me to create engaging, age-appropriate activities. Whether we are playing board games, exploring outdoor sports, or working on crafts, I prioritize a fun and safe environment. I am highly comfortable enforcing your specific household rules and maintaining consistent communication through your preferred method. Because I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide diligent swimming supervision during water activities. I truly look forward to meeting your family and becoming a positive influence in your children's lives.
Amy was a buddy for our son at church. Our son is autistic and nonverbal. Amy was always patient, kind and excited to work with our son. Her passion for taking care of others is evident in every interaction. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and we always felt good knowing Amy was with our son.
