Hello! My name is Amanda and I am 26 years old. I am originally from New Jersey, but I just moved to the DC area after getting married last year on Valentine's Day! I am not new to the area, however, I lived here for four years attending college at the Catholic University of America where I received a Bachelors Degree in Musical Theater. Besides the artistic side of me, I love working with kids and have had multiple jobs in the field of childcare. I started at the YMCA of Western Monmouth County in Freehold, NJ as a camp counselor for Kiddie Kamp, in charge of a group of 3-4 year olds. At the 'Y' I then became assistant teacher for the Toddler Room. Responsibilities included: engaging kids in activities such as arts n' crafts, gym time, play time, circle time; changing diapers/potty training, all meals. Also responsible for Read more recording daily sheets of each child's day/progress. I then worked for the Goddard School in Manalapan, NJ as a floater in the pre-school, pre-k, and kindergarten classrooms and then became the assistant teacher in the Toddler Room. At Goddard the ratio of children to teachers was 6:1, so usually in the afternoon I would be by myself in charge of 6 2-3 year olds. It taught me how to multi-task really well! In addition to working at the two different childcare facilities, I have been a part-time nanny for multiple families, both here in DC/VA and back in NJ. I have been currently watching two brothers- a 16 month old and 3 and a half year old a few times a week. I am always looking to meet new families and become a positive part of their lives!
