Amanda Lawrence (The Practical Nanny)

Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Amanda, a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant with an educational background in Early Childhood Education. I have over 10 years of experience, specializing in infant and toddler care in the classroom and at home. As their nanny, I guide families on a variety of topics, such as sleep, potty training, behavior, and developmental milestones. I believe with all my heart that babies, toddlers, and children are whole human beings who deserve to be respected, guided, and loved deeply through every step of their development. My philosophy in child care follows along the lines of some popular educators like Maria Montessori and Reggio Emila, who put children at the center of their learning and growth. I believe that children have the capability to take charge of their learning, with help and guidance from us, the parents and caretakers. With healthy boundaries, rules, and lots of love, children, even infants and toddlers, can tap into their limitless potential. I truly believe that rested and happy parents are the magic key to creating the best environment for their little one to thrive in. Life with littles can be stressful, and I often hear parents feeling trapped in a fog, unsure of what to do. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m here to help you get the rest both you and your little one deserve so you can get back to thriving!
