My name is Amanda, I am 24 years old and have been a substitute teacher for three years. I went to college for education because I have a genuine love of children and enjoy seeing them reach their full potential. I understand that it can take a lot of time and effort to find a perfect match to care for your child. A safe, comfortable environment, a nurturing and experienced provider, fun learning, healthy meals, and flexible hours are just a few of the qualities within my home. You can rest assured that your childcare needs will be met. I have my Bachelors Degree in general/ elementary special education and my Masters Degree in adolescent special education. My application is also available on Care.com where I have paid for my background check and verification. I understand how expensive childcare can be, and I will make sure the rate is reasonable! Read more I am located in North Tonawanda and are welcome to come take a tour of my house at anytime. My boyfriend has two children, who will be at the house twice a week to play as well! Please contact me with questions or concerns. 716-462-2893 adorsey@daemen.edu Amanda Dorsey Hi! I graduated from Daemen College in May 2013 and have my childhood degree (grades 1-6) as well as students with disabilities (grades 1-6). In December of 2015 I received my Masters Degree in adolescent special education. Since there are no permanent jobs for teachers at the moment, I am subbing during the day for numerous school districts. I am 24 years old and have been babysitting since I was 12. I have been a mothers helper with twin boys, as well as a full time nanny for 6 months. When I babysit I always do the dishes and clean up before the parents are expected home. I love to take them to the movies, play games, or make crafts. "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. "
