My name is Amber Houseman (Ms. Amber) and I have over 25 years of experience in childcare. My mother owned an in-home childcare facility since I was six years old. I was raised to take care of children. My mother, may she rest in peace, taught me how to love, teach and cherish a child while preparing them for the "real world". As I got older, I worked in other daycare centers as well as raising two of own. Now I am blessed with two grandbabies as well. I took over my mother's daycare from 2010 to 2016 after she discovered she had scoliosis and could no longer meet the physical requirements of the job. Currently, I am a part-time preschool teacher at Education Express in Columbia. I am on a on-call needed basis so I am looking for more stable employment. I have two children and two grandbabies of Read more my own. I am fully vaccinated for the COVID-19 virus. I also recently updated my physical for my current daycare and completed a Pediatric CPR/First Aid class in full just over a month ago. I used to do housecleaning and home organization as a side job a few years ago, so I do housekeeping as well. Children are honest, innocent and love unconditionally. Role models for us all to say the least. They are a gift only God could give. Ms. Amber
