My name is Amanda Hagler and I have taken care of children for over 20 years and I have my own five year old son, Barrett. I am 32 years old and I also house and/or pet sit. After high school I did attend the College of Charleston and graduated with a bachelor's in sociology. My minor was women and gender studies. As of now I am studying for the GRE and looking for a good graduate school. In my free time I love to read and listen to all kinds of music. I also enjoy traveling when I have free time. The reason I am interested in child care is because I love to teach and watch children learn and grow. They are the future and I find that to be very important. Although I do not have any children, I grew up with 12 cousins and I was the oldest. So basically I have been changing diapers and playing with kids since I was a kid myself.
