Bio

Hi, my name is Amanda Laracuente. I graduated from Valencia College with an associates degree in elementary education. I was a substitute teacher for three years and focused on children from preschool to middle school. I also have worked for The Walt Disney Company as a children’s activities director which was in a daycare setting as well, where I got to do outdoor and indoor activities with children of all ages and all cultures. I have also been a tutor for many years called bookmark buddies with the Osceola County school district. I recently moved back here to Bethlehem which is my hometown from Florida with my best friends that I like to call my chosen family. I have been loving going and exploring all that Bethlehem and the surrounding cities have to offer. I am excited to bring my knowledge I gained from my experiences in Florida to my beautiful hometown!

Hello my name is Miriah and I recently moved here to Bethlehem from Florida with my best friends. I am so excited to have the opportunity to teach all of your wonderful children. I have been a camp counselor in training, and worked in VPK in my High School. I have my associates degree in Elementary education from Valencia College and through my program I have gained experience in early childhood development as well as gained knowledge on all aspects of childhood education. Through my program I was apart of an academic academy that focused on early childhood education where my classes required me to work hands in classrooms. I also worked and have a background in children’s activities in my local library. I was able to tutor children as well as create many activities for them as well. On my free time I love spending time with my friends and enjoying nature. I am very excited to meet you all.
