About Mandy

I have chosen to take this path, in my next career, as I love nurturing and teaching children. In addition to raising my own 3 children, I owned and directed my own childcare center for 28 years in the Hudson Valley. I grew this program from being a home childcare provider. I truly miss working directly with the children, especially the babies and toddlers. I am patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I am passionate about the early years nurturing and learning of children from birth to 5 years. I am an open and direct communicator, and comfortable with following and enforcing the household rules set by the family. I love to play, read, and explore the world through the eyes of a child. I hold a bachelor's degree in Community and Human Services, and an associate degree in Early Childhood Development & Education. I am certified in First Aid, CPR & AED. I hope to bring joy to your family and look forward to meeting you and your family.
