About Amy

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I'm Amy! I'm a loving, experienced caregiver with a deep passion for supporting children and families. As a foster mom and Safe Families host mom, I've had the privilege of caring for children from all walks of life, including those with complex emotional and behavioral needs. I'm also a proud mom to five wonderful kids, ranging in age from 18 to 4, so I understand the joys and challenges of every stage of childhood. I'm trained in trauma-informed care and hold multiple childcare certifications, equipping me to provide calm, compassionate, and developmentally appropriate support. Whether I'm helping with homework, navigating big emotions, or creating a fun and safe play environment, my goal is always to meet each child with empathy, consistency, and respect. If you're looking for someone nurturing, reliable, and deeply committed to the well-being of your little ones, I'd love to connect!

I have known Amy for nearly 12 years, and she is one of the most trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind people I know. We met when our children were in preschool, and over the years we’ve navigated motherhood, foster parenting, and adoption together. Amy is deeply engaged, patient, and emotionally attuned. She is someone who shows up fully, notices the details, and creates a safe, nurturing environment for the children in her care. Her experience with a wide range of family dynamics has given her an exceptional level of empathy, calm, and confidence. I trust Amy completely and without hesitation. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her caring for their children, and I recommend her wholeheartedly.
