Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a former special education teacher with over 6 years of classroom experience, and these days I focus on supporting children and families more personally, one-on-one. Working with kids has always been my passion—I love getting to know each child’s unique personality, learning style, and interests, and finding ways to help them grow while having fun along the way. With a mix of academic support, creative play, and positive structure, I enjoy everything from homework help and tutoring to arts and crafts, games, and hands-on activities that spark curiosity. I’ve had the joy of working with children of all ages and abilities, and I bring patience, empathy, and consistency to every interaction. Families often tell me they appreciate my kindness, reliability, and clear communication, as well as the balance of structure and play I provide. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and engaging environment Read more where kids feel supported, confident, and free to be themselves. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your child with care, encourage their growth, and make the day a little brighter, I’d love to connect with you!

Amanda has been watching my son since he was 3 months! She is the best! We love her! Amanda is extremely caring and attentive. She regularly checks in and provides updates on how he is doing! Amanda is always punctual and follows any requests or guidelines for care given. I know when my son is with Amanda he is in the best hands!
