I am a mom of two wonderful girls 9&7 who will be in school full-time. We love camping and exploring Cochrane’s many parks. My name is Amanda and I am currently seeking a new part-time position in childcare. I have been looking after children of various ages for the past 15 years. The most recent children I have been minding are now at the age to begin attending school so I am no longer going to be needed and as such I am looking for a new opportunity. I am a very dedicated and punctual worker with a great attitude and love working with children. I am available this September 2025 for work in the Cochrane area. I have references available upon request. The ideal family would be flexible in the possibility of my own children tagging along. I have 2 girls 8&6 who would be in school full time come September. I would need to be available to them along side yours and open to using both homes for care. I look forward to hearing from you! High school diploma

In addition to my professional experience, I’m deeply connected to nature and love spending time outdoors. Creativity is a big part of who I am—I enjoy writing stories and crafting unique projects. At home, I share my space with my lovely partner, Kyle, and my rescue kitty named Jinx, who keeps life interesting!
