Hello! My name is Amy. I'm a 41 year old Mom, Wife, and Grandma. I have 3 daughters, Holly (21) a recent college graduate of WMU. Megan (20) whom has just recently blessed our blended family with our first granddaughter Aria grace (8) months. And Annabelle (7) 1st grader whom came into my life thru my husbands previous marriage. Having come full circle twice from preschool to prom, I have the experience and the love for children to make you along with your kids feel very cared for and safe. My husband works days for charter communications, he has also been a very successful local musician for the past 15+years. I have been the neighborhood nanny over the past 10+ years. We reside in Orchard view Area. I'm open to driving to school or bus stop if needed during the school year. Or providing transportation to summertime activities if needed. Read more I am very dedicated to crafts and hands on learning.. My husband and I are huge astronomy buffs. We have been known to gather kids from the neighborhood and show them amazing things with our telescope. There is just something magical about seeing a child's face when they see an actual planet for the first time. Or even another galaxy. I am very big on making learning fun. Science is a huge part of our lives. Having been the oldest in a family of 6 girls money was tight for my parents while we were growing up. In turn I Iearned alot of crafts to keep my siblings at bay!! Anything from homemade play-dough to homemade Christmas ornaments. Pets are like family to me, if you have animals...great! Love to love them as well. Please feel free to ask me any questions or concerns you may have. Also please encourage your children (if age appropriate) to also ask any questions they may have. References available. Hoping to meet your family soon!!!! Respectfully, Amy Furbush 231-327-8159
