Hello! My name is Amanda & I’m very happy to be your potential babysitter/nanny. As a child, I want to say from age 15 to 20, I’ve babysat the children of family and friends. When I was about 20, I became a certified Home Health Aide in the state of New York caring for the sick and elderly. A year later, at 21 I had my first child. When I was ready to get back into work after maternity leave, I found a home health aide agency that was geared more towards children. That’s where my love for children came to life. Not only did it give me the experience, but it showed me how to also care for my own child. When my child was only 6 months old, I became a Full-Time online student while also keeping my Full-Time job. Almost two-years later, I enrolled my first child Read more into daycare and was also offered a PT position. As I studied, I was a PT Home Health Aide as well as a PT Teacher. In 2018, I moved to FL, continued my studies, and obtained my A.A in Early Childhood Education in 2019. I now have been in childcare for 8+ years. I have all 45 DCF mandated hours as well as a staff credential. I’ve cared for all age groups starting from infant all the way to school-age. A few years ago, I had my second child whom is now in VPK. My greatest accomplishment aside from being a mom would be that as a FT mom, I was still a FT student and still worked FT as well. As I moved from daycare to daycare seeking more opportunity, I have been able to keep my kids with me every step of the way and have been able to watch them grow. It’s amazing! In December of 2022, I took a course in Seminole State College to obtain my Directors Credential. I have been CPR & Basic First Aide Certified for infants / toddlers / and adults about 4 or 5 times (being that it expires every 2 years. Thankfully, I’ve never had to put it into action but am very confident to do so in case of emergency. I hope that everything I mentioned is exactly what you need. If you have any questions, feel free to message me and ask :)
