About Amy

Experience: 10 yrs

My child care philosophy is to provide a nurturing and loving atmosphere with as many learning opportunities as possible. I love to watch children experience new things and learn and grow in the process. I have worked with children for over 20 years. My education includes a BSW from BSC. I worked with teen mothers and their children after graduation. I enjoyed taking walks, reading, outdoors fun, playing games, imaginary play, doing crafts, outings and floor play. I plan child led learning experiences throughout the day. My experience includes extensive training in child development and learning through play. In addition I have worked for many families as their Professional Nanny. Also Head Preschool Teacher, YMCA and JCC childcare and summer camps. I look forward to hearing more about your little ones and their interests!

Amy has been our part-time at home childcare provider for almost two years now and I just can’t believe how the time has passed. As a first-time mother of twins, I was uneasy looking for child-care for my kids. Amy swooped in without missing a beat. Since day one, she has been confident, professional and communicative with me, my husband and all my other family. Her outgoing, friendly and energetic nature has helped the kids to flourish into curious, happy and book-loving little ones. She brings lots of books and correlates book themes to the arts and crafts she has planned. Amy encourages outdoor excursions, imaginary play, and cooking, and she helps with their laundry and ensures the house remains tidy. We feel confident when Amy travels with the kids to open gym time at the local community center, Get Air Trampoline Park, and different town water parks. And, my kids cannot get enough of her son who sometimes comes along for the adventures. More recently, our family moved from one town to another, and Amy was happy to come right along with us. She has been flexible when work hours require altering here and there. There is nothing more important than peace of mind when choosing the right childcare provider for your children. We are very fortunate to have her in our family.
