Hello! My name is Amy. I am originally from Connecticut and recently relocated to Florida to be closer to family. I am a proud mother of four and grandmother of four, with a fifth grandchild on the way! Caring for others has always been my passion, and I have dedicated over 30 years to helping people live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. My background includes working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), private-duty caregiver, nanny, foster parent, respite care provider, and Massage Therapist for over 30 years. I also served as a Supervisor at an Adult Day Program, where I managed staff while ensuring compassionate, high-quality care for adults with developmental and cognitive disabilities. These experiences have allowed me to work with infants, children, seniors, and individuals with special needs, giving me the ability to adapt to many different family dynamics and care needs. I am CPR and First Read more Aid certified and known for being dependable, patient, compassionate, trustworthy, and respectful. I understand that every individual is unique and learns, grows, and communicates differently, so I always provide care with kindness, patience, and understanding. I enjoy keeping children engaged through arts and crafts, creative activities, reading, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning. I’m also a decent cook and enjoy preparing nutritious meals while helping maintain a clean, organized, and peaceful home environment. Families describe me as someone they can truly depend on—reliable, nurturing, full of common sense, and someone who genuinely treats those in my care like family. Whether you are looking for childcare, companionship, senior care, or assistance with someone who has special needs, I bring years of experience, wisdom, and a caring heart to every family I work with. I would love the opportunity to meet you, learn about your family’s needs, and discuss how I can help make your life a little easier. I look forward to hearing from you!
