About me
My name is Amanda, I am a mother to a 7 year old boy and we currently live in Brooklyn.
I began working with children at age 15. I cared for a neighbor's daughter, and would watch her for their date nights, weddings, errands, and vacations. I would be responsible for her diapering, feeding clothing, bathing, implementing her nightly routine, and entertainment. I Once they had another child, I cared for them both. While they moved to Texas, we're still in contact and even visit when they're in NY.
Since then over the years I’ve worked with 6 long term families helped raise 3 from their infant years (as early as one day old), 4 short term and I’ve been a Paraprofessional, and Teachers Aide in a daycare for the past 5 years.
I love all the kiddos as my own I cherish being able to see them grow and develop into their own person. I’m able to be a listening ear, personal escort to their activities, or just being a playmate but my personal policy is that the parent’s wishes are my main priority.
I have multiple certifications including: Nutrition and Health Needs of Infants and Children, Safety and Security Procedures, Child Abuse and Maltreatment Identification and Prevention, Education and Information on the Identification, Diagnosis, and Prevention of Shaken Baby Syndrome, CPR & First Aid, Celebrating Milestones and Sharing Concerns Early Care and Education.
