Meet the Teacher

I cannot wait to get to know your family! I have been in the childcare field for over 15 years in positions ranging from infant to after-school teacher, program manager for a national chain, a nanny, the owner and director of a very successful home daycare, and now as the Owner and Director of Mrs. Amy’s Adventures! I plan to create a bond with your child and family that can be hard to find at larger chain centers. I take pride in knowing each child feels safe and valued on an individual basis.

I hold a degree in Community Development from Texas A&M University and am deeply committed to integrating my academic background with my passion for nurturing young children. I am a member of the Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area Board of Directors, and active member of the Boards’ Child Care Committee and Advisory Council.

Now I'm thrilled to be stepping into the office, where I'll continue supporting our amazing families and helping things run smoothly behind the scenes. I love being part of a team that values children's growth, curiosity, and joy every single day.
