Hi! I'm Amanda,
an educator and lifelong learner.

As a nanny and tutor, my approach is deeply rooted in my belief in education and effective communication.
Having owned a tutoring service, I understand the importance of nurturing a child's intellectual growth.
My parenting philosophy is straightforward: I'm all about open communication and active listening.
Just as reading complements writing, communication skills go hand in hand with attentive listening.
I draw from my experience as a mother to an18-year-old, where I've learned the value of truly hearing a child.
I recognize that behind every child's intense emotions lies a message they're struggling to express,
and it's our role, as their parents and caregivers to guide them through those feelings.
The word "discipline" itself stems from "disciple," reminding us that our task is to always lead by example.
I firmly believe in positive reinforcement and guidance, steering away from punitive measures, as I aim to create a nurturing and supportive environment for children to flourish. While I strive to make every moment enjoyable and fun, I also prioritize their safe development and gradual journey towards self-sufficiency.
