"Amber was my nanny/ babysitter for almost 7 years. She started when my daughter was about one month old and truly saved us. It is such a blessing for her to be a part of our lives. She loved and cared for my kids like they were her own. She even cared for me. Being freshly postpartum was the hardest part of my life but Amber was right there with me, including nights when i needed help. She helped around the house and did other duties without us even asking, which helped tremendously. I could recommend Amber 1000 times and it still wouldn’t be enough. She truly became a part of our family and we couldn’t be more grateful!"

A little bit about me

A passionate childcare giver since teenage years! I have worked as a Infant/toddler teacher for 2 years, Pre-K 3 years, and have experience nannying for 2 years! My passion is mental, emotional development as-well as fine motor skills! I expect to create an empowering environment where kids are able to ask questions, express themselves, discover on their own, and work together. Confidence, teamwork, and individuality are what I promote and build my lessons around. I am experienced with project creation among specific age groups and in larger groups. Specialized in indoor and outdoor play activities and STEM activities, meditation/self care, etc. As I am used to cleaning a facility with over 30+ students, I am comfortable keeping houses tidy and preparing meals. (Yes, vegan options lol) I work with children with or without specific schedules, health requirements, disabilities, or diet requirements.

Disclaimer: I will not be vaccinated but am comfortable wearing a mask with children.

"To whom it may concern, Tamia Trent has been an excellent employee here at Angel Academy J&C, during her time here. She has been a pleasure to work with and a team player: she works well with others and loves the children. During her time at AAJC, she has worked with all age groups, but really thrived with the infants and school age children. Tamia is creative and loves to sing to/with the children, she introduced them to some of her favorite camp songs. I can highly recommend her for the opportunity that you have available. She is reliable, dependable and a hard worker, I know she will be well suited for this position.
