A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Amanda. I ran an in home daycare for 7 years and enjoyed that rewarding experience every single day. I recently decided to start caring for children outside of my home due to the fact that my special needs daughter now age 21 has grown enough independence for me to be gone full time. I currently care for a wonderful family in Lowell, which includes a 3-year-old boy and a 6-month-old girl. I am first aid and CPR certified and comfortable with both cats and dogs. I am active and make sure I get exercise every day in order to keep up with energetic bundles of joy. I am parting ways with my current family because the hours are currently part-time and will be going down even further. I am very hands- on, lead with love, and believe in supporting the parents and respecting their decisions.

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Connie! I am 19 years old. I have a lot of experience taking care of children, as my family did foster care for many years, so we always had extra kids within our home. I am a certified medical assistant but I would like to explore early childhood education. I currently work around 40 hours a week as a waitress but I would like to find a job I love, and I believe that’s taking care of children!
