Hi! My name is Ms. Amanda to most. Even my friends and family call me that. I knew I wanted to take care of young children for as long as I can remember. I use to help take care of my 4 younger siblings and help my mom with her in home childcare during the afternoons and summers. As soon as I turned 18 I got a job with Toddlers at a small house turned into a childcare center. That was in October of 1995! Over the last 28 years I have taught almost exclusively infants and young toddlers in different settings. Infants learn through their senses. I do lots of sensory projects that include all of their senses. I love reading books and singing songs. Kids love hearing their own name in songs so I make up or change up songs to include their names. I can't wait to meet my new family! I have tons of references. I live off W. Saint Elmo and South First. Prefer to work within 10 miles of there.

Amanda was my infant daughter's favorite person. She's instantly bonded with Amanda, loved snuggling with her and never cried when I left as long as Amanda was there. Amanda has excellent instincts, I trusted her completely with my daughter.
