Meet Amanda

I truly believe that how a child is treated, taught and loved have huge impacts on their self worth and ambitions into adulthood. I strive to make sure every child in my care know that he/she is super special by praising good habits, learned lessons, and creative thinking skills. I have twenty years of medical, including pediatrics with a degree in physical therapy. After 20 years in the corporate world of constant paperwork and long hours, I decided to truly enjoy life to the fullest as we aren’t promised another day. My husband and I took a step of faith and I now only treat patients on an as needed basis. Since my children are grown with degrees/careers of their own, I now have free time and what better way to spend my time than to leave a lasting positive impact on a child while helping moms and dads?! I Read more know how difficult it can be to find a qualified adult to take care of children. My primary focus is to give parents a peace of mind that their little one is truly being taken care of and supervised with QUALITY care. I adore children so this is a perfect fit for me. I was a nanny that tutored, cooked, cleaned and created fun adventures for three wonderful children while they homeschooled until they recently began public school. Please don’t hesitate to message me for an interview or to ask questions. “If we want a better world, we must start by being positive influences to the future world changers” - Amanda Farmer -Amanda
