About Amber

Experience: 6 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

With over 5yrs of experience as a nanny, I've cared for children from newborns to 13yrs old. My background as an educator, and as a CCMA, allows me to provide a nurturing, educational environment. As a mother, I bring firsthand experience with a strong Montessori background. I focus on hands-on learning, imaginative play, and fostering curiosity while maintaining structure and teaching life skills. I offer school pick-ups, drop-offs, and light housekeeping, including meal prep. I love working with kids because every day is an adventure it's rewarding to see their confidence grow in a safe, supportive environment. I started working with children as a teenager at a local safe haven, which sparked my passion for childcare. In my free time, I enjoy reading and baking. Creativity and curiosity are core to who I am, and I bring that same energy into my nanny work. Families can trust that I treat every child as my own, offering love, patience, and a nurturing environment where they can thrive

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Amber J. Amber cared for my infant son and daughter over the course of three years, and during that time, she proved to be an invaluable part of our family. Her kind, professional, and deeply competent nature left an enduring positive impact on our children, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Amber’s dedication to the well-being and growth of my children was evident from the very beginning. She not only ensured their physical needs were met with utmost care but also fostered an environment of warmth, learning, and joy. From soothing them during infancy to introducing them to age-appropriate educational activities and milestones as they grew, Amber consistently went above and beyond to help my children thrive. What truly sets Amber apart is her unwavering professionalism and kindness. She was always punctual, organized, and communicative. I appreciated her ability to adapt seamlessly to the evolving needs of our family and the specific temperaments of each child. Whether managing nap schedules, preparing nutritious meals, or handling occasional challenges with patience and grace, Amber consistently demonstrated exceptional capability and composure. Thanks to Amber’s nurturing and attentive care, my children are thriving—happy, confident, and well-adjusted. It is evident that Amber has a genuine love for children, and her positive energy and approach to caregiving have played a significant role in shaping their early years. I am confident that any family or employer fortunate enough to work with her will benefit immensely from her skills and dedication. She is truly a one-of-a-kind caregiver, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for any position or endeavor she pursues.
