About Amber
Experience: 2 yrs
Hello! My name is Amber, but most people know me as Connie! I've been teaching in childcare for almost two and a half years, recently acquired my CDA, and love my littles like they're my own. I am an avid forager, crocheter and writer and am going to school part time for history and education, mainly taking night classes and online coursework. I have extensive experience with children with chronic illness or disability, potty training, preschool level education and childcare from ages 2 months to 5 years. I also offer household assistance, such as chores like laundry, dishes, basic cleaning and child transportation. If I am driving your child anywhere, I ask that it be in your vehicle. I generally ask $17/hr at minimum, depending on the situation, but am more than willing to be flexible with families. Thank you for the read, and I am looking forward to hearing from you!
Most recent review
I cannot recommend Amber highly enough. She is exceptional and always goes above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for the children in her care. Amber has a natural ability to connect with kids, always getting down on their level and meeting them in their world of play. Her patience, and genuine compassion truly set her apart. She communicates effectively with both children and parents, ensuring everyone feels informed and confident. She is attentive to the individual needs of each kid, including and especially any medical concerns. She follows all written/verbal plans and is a strong advocate to ensure kids can continue to engage in everyday activities safely and with confidence, despite medical concerns. She strives to maintain a structured environment while still allowing flexibility for growth and development. Any family or organization would be lucky to have Amber as part of their team.
