About Mandy

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With 10 years of in home experience caring for children ages 3 months to 11 years, as well as 8 years classroom experience in both public and private schools, I bring a calm, patient, and creative approach to every day. I am currently lead teacher and administrator at Aldersgate Christian Preschool in Chatlottesville, and looking to fill my summer with new experiences. My background includes Child Development Associate (CDA) training and relevant Early Child Development coursework, which help me foster meaningful growth. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications to ensure a safe environment. Whether we are solving puzzles, playing educational games, or exploring technology-based apps, I love making learning fun. I am happy to assist with meal preparation and carpooling using my own vehicle. I prioritize clear communication, following your preferred method for daily updates.
