A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Amber, and I’m a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a strong background in supporting children with special needs. I have over five years of experience working with the autistic community and have completed my 40-hour Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) training. I’m also certified in Basic Life Saving.

My approach is patient, structured, and child-centered. I have hands-on experience implementing behavior intervention plans designed by BCBAs and helping children build communication, daily living, and social skills in a supportive and encouraging environment. I believe in meeting each child where they are and celebrating progress at every step.

A little bit about me

Hi families!

I have several years of childcare experience, starting from my teen years and continuing through hands-on experience as a mother to my 4-year-old daughter. Caring for children is something that comes very naturally to me — I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids to grow in.

I’m currently available to provide in-home childcare and am happy to travel within a reasonable distance. I recently relocated from Florida and am eager to connect with a great family.

I do have a 4-year-old daughter who would be with me. She is well-behaved, kind, and social, and can be a wonderful playmate for children who enjoy interactive and engaging companionship.

I take pride in treating every child in my care with the same level of love, attention, and responsibility as I do my own.

I’d love the opportunity to connect and see if we’re a good fit!
