About Amanda

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi! I am the oldest daughter of five girls who has found her passion working with children. I was 12 when my youngest siblings, twins, were born. I excelled early at child care. For 2 and a half years, I worked as a licensed Behavioral Health Case Manager for children and families. I am also licensed as a Wellness Coach , Celebrating Families and Strengthening Families programs. I have worked with kids ages 5-19 with a range of mental health disorders and learning disabilities. I have my bachelors in Sociology and I am currently working on my masters degree in Social Work. I love getting to enjoy time outside, read, and since moving out here I miss my younger siblings and family members a lot. I would love to be around littles again and be able to help take some stress off of families. I also have reliable transportation, a SUV. I am also comfortable helping out around the room or errands.

I have known Amanda for a very long time. She is absolutely the sweetest soul and she has always been very responsible. My husband and I are very particular about who our daughter is around, and even more so with the people she stays with. We trust Amanda completely. She has such a calming aura about her that children gravitate too. I have seen her de-escalate tantrums and handle the chaos children are known for, with ease. She is great about meeting the children at their level and communicating in a way that works for them. I truly can’t say enough about her. I wish she lived closer to watch our little girl.
