About Amanda

Experience: 10 yrs

I am recently retired after 25 years of teaching kindergarten. I graduated with my Bachelors and Masters both in Early Childhood Special Education. I have lots of experience in the classroom and babysitting the littles. While babysitting I love to read books, sing songs, play games, go for walks, outside play, etc. to encourage age appropriate development. My husband and I moved to Port Charlotte June 2025 from St Louis and are throughly enjoying Florida. I have 2 adult children and 1 puppy, Daisy. I enjoy going to the beach, boating, fishing, crafts, sewing, traveling, swimming, painting, reading, and projects around my house.
