About Amber

Experience: 8 yrs

Hello! I've been working in childcare professionally since I was 16, and prior to then I would babysit my younger siblings and kids around the neighborhood! In December of 2022, I graduated with my Bachelors in Child Development & Family studies with an emphasis in Psychology. From that, I have learned so much about the importance of play (both independent and parallel) for the developing mind and body, and I have deepened my understanding of child/family psychology. I love being able to help kids figure out the world and see their perspective on it! Although they are young, they are so smart and talented, and usually end up teaching me new things! Working with kids is such a joy, every new day is an adventure! I'm experienced with ages 6 weeks - 12 years, and I am COVID vaccinated, as well as CPR certified. I would love to answer any questions you may have.

To whom it may concern, We highly recommend Amber K. for employment with your family. We have had the immense pleasure of knowing Amber since August of 2021, when she began taking care of our seven year old son, and our four year old daughter. She was with our family for 13 months and her duties included before and after school pickup and drop off, meal help and playing with the children after school and during the summer. Her caring spirit and unending energy have changed our lives for the better. Amber is joyous and deeply passionate about engaging and connecting with the children she cares for. She is flexible with her schedule and one hundred percent accountable. In the time we have had the pleasure of knowing Amber we have been consistently surprised and delighted by Amber’s presence. Coming home from work, I often find that G., G. and Amber laughing together in the backyard or lost in a book. She has heeded our request that our children go “out and about” to experience the world. To that end, their activities have included picnics at the park, planting and watering flower pots, baking and creating 2D and 3D art projects. Every day is like a new surprise for our kids! She is a truly happy person and her positive spirit and warm demeanor have been integral in the lives of our children. Our children frequently ask if Amber can come to babysit because they miss her in their daily lives. As a mother, it has made my transition to work easy because I know how happy my children are. In our opinion, Amber is the best choice for your family. We are absolutely confident in Amber’s abilities to work with young children and we recommend that she be given the highest consideration. Sincerely, Betsy and Matthew B.
