About Amy
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Greetings! I am a fun-loving, experienced childcare provider looking to make a difference in the lives of your family. I have extensive experience with children of all ages. I have worked as a nanny, a behavioral health professional, residential youth and family counselor and have a degree in education and sociology with graduate work in counseling psychology. I enjoy being active and outdoors with kiddos going on special adventures. I also love to be creative and engage in art. I find reading to be extremely important as well as joining children in their play. I truly love being with kids and find working with them to be the best time spent in my day! I would be honored to have the chance to add some fun-loving care to your family and to meet your needs in every way I possibly can.

Amy is trustworthy, kind, knowledgeable, creative, and responsible. She brought fun games, new art ideas, activities, and play ideas with her each day, much to our children's delight. She earned and maintained our trust and was respectful of our parenting philosophies. Though our children are friends now, she was careful to maintain professional boundaries by scheduling play dates outside of caregiver hours. Amy is a wonderful person and consummate professional. Our children's schedules are now such that we don't need someone as regularly, but if we did, we hope it would be Amy.
