My name is Amanda and I just graduated from the Music Therapy program at Colorado State University. Previously I worked as a Childcare Specialist at a day/night care for children with developmental disabilities. I loved my job so much that I want to do even more! I am certified in child/infant CPR, First Aid, Universal Precautions, and Infant Safe Sleep. In addition, I have been certified at my job to administer medication, gastrostomy tube feedings, and antegrade colonic enemas. I left my job to pursue an internship in Music Therapy with children with developmental disabilities. I believe above all else, safety is a priority, but there are so many ways to have fun while remaining safe! I love coming up with activities and games to do with kiddos. In addition to activities, I enjoy integrating music into just about everything I do. If you feel I might be a good Read more match for your family please contact me!
