I have over 25 years of experience working with children: Elementary educator, Montessori certified, Au Pair in France, Special education teacher in Bozeman and a parent.

My husband and I have two boys. An 8-year-old and a 2-year-old.
I enjoy smiling, positivity, crafts, reading, playing in the mountains, rafting, laughing, organizing, family excursions and the gift of educating.

Amy has an energy that kids love. It's clear that she loves working with children and she has a silly side that kids don't often get to experience with adults. My girls love Amy.

I have known Amy professionally, and personally, for over 25 years. She is a dedicated educator, Montessori expert, incredible mother, and all around outstanding woman!

Amy is well versed in early childhood development and educational methodologies for raising confident, independent humans.  Her techniques give children age-appropriate autonomy to try new things and build skills through repetition and mistake-making.  Her techniques yield students who persevere through challenges and demonstrate resilience if, at first, they don't succeed.

Amy and I worked together in a Montessori preschool. Amy is a wonderful teacher, who puts a lot of thought and planning into her lessons. Indeed, she uses different techniques and a wide variety of fun activities to engage her students. What impresses me the most about her is that she is very patient with everyone in the class. I watched shy and socially challenged children open up and grow confidence due to her caring, yet firm guidance. My 8-year-old daughter, who was one of Amy's students, has fond memories of her and the time spent in her classroom. She describes Amy as a "nice, kind and thoughtful person, who has empathy." Indeed, Amy is just wonderful with kids.

Amy was our son's teacher at an in-home day care. She brought in enthusiasm, curiosity, teaching skills and and a warm smile to work every day. Our son absolutely loved spending time and learning from her. I would recommend Amy as a care taker and/or a teacher any day.

Amy is passionate about her work and family. She is caring and genuine, flexible and a great team member. She will be an asset to any employer lucky enough to hire her. As her director at a Montessori school, I witnessed the bond she shared with the children as well as the parents. She was lead teacher in a class of 20 children 3 yrs. through kindergarten. A true 5 star person!

Amy puts the well-being of family first.  She is a loving mother and wife,  She is loyal and has a very good work ethic.  Amy has knowledge of good healthful eating and exercise.

Amy is great with kids, she's very fun and engaging and always has a positive attitude.

I met Amy as a new neighbor and instantly bonded with her. She is a very positive person who is open minded and compassionate. She is fun (lots of fun) and very high energy. Amy provides a tolerant, flexible and mindful environment for those who are lucky enough to have her in their lives.

Amy is a reliable and very knowledgeable child care provider. Her personality exudes grace, professional and enthusiasm. She is a caring and dependable person that puts others before herself. She takes pride in her work and everything that she does. You would be making the perfect choice to hire Amy for any child care opportunity.
