About Amanda

Hello! Thank you in advance for taking the time to learn a little about me, Amanda and I'm 29. I love animals, and have had my fair share of dogs, cats, and other various little creatures. Growing up, I babysat my younger siblings, others within my family, as well as family friends', and neighbors' children. Since the age of 15, I have worked with people of various ages. For example, I was an assistant teacher in a preschool where the children range from 6 weeks old to 12 years old. I mainly worked in the Infant and Toddler rooms, and I loved it! Prior to that, I was a para-educator in a program that assisted children with various Autism Spectrum Disorders in a kindergarten classroom setting. We encouraged them to develop different skills in order to help them communicate and grow. I was also a direct support professional (DSP) working in group homes with developmentally disabled adults.
