Hi, I'm Amanda! I’m a former special education teacher with over 6 years of hands-on classroom experience, now transitioning into roles that allow me to offer more personalized, one-on-one support to children and families. My background has given me a deep understanding of child development, individual learning styles, and the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child. I specialize in providing enriching experiences that balance both academic support and creative play—whether it’s homework help, personalized tutoring, educational games, arts and crafts, or simply encouraging curiosity through everyday moments. I have worked with children of all ages and abilities, and bring patience, empathy, and structure to everything I do. Families appreciate my clear communication, reliability, and gentle approach, as well as my ability to adapt to each child’s needs. My goal is to build meaningful relationships with families and contribute positively to a child’s learning journey Read more and well-being. If you’re looking for someone with a strong foundation in education who brings heart, structure, and fun to your child’s day—you’ve found the right fit! I’m excited to connect and learn how I can support your family.

Amanda has been watching my son since he was 3 months! She is the best! We love her! Amanda is extremely caring and attentive. She regularly checks in and provides updates on how he is doing! Amanda is always punctual and follows any requests or guidelines for care given. I know when my son is with Amanda he is in the best hands!
