Amber Jennings
@amberjennings
Lead early childhood teacher and insurance sales professional focused on client care.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented professional with experience across early childhood education, customer service, office administration, insurance sales, and collections. I’m known for building positive relationships, staying highly organized, and thriving in fast-paced environments while delivering dependable results.
In my current roles, I help run daily classroom operations while maintaining compliance with OCFS regulations. I create and implement lesson plans, maintain accurate student documentation, and communicate clearly with parents to support each child’s development.
Alongside education, I work as a Licensed Life & Health Insurance Agent, educating clients on coverage options and building long-term trust through strong communication and accurate documentation. I conduct consultations to identify needs and meet sales goals while providing outstanding customer service and ensuring compliance standards are followed.
I’ve also managed responsibilities that strengthened my operational and customer-focused strengths—handling inbound/outbound calls, processing payments accurately, updating records and account notes, and resolving concerns professionally. When I ran my own in-home childcare business, I handled scheduling, enrollment, billing, and parent communication while planning educational activities and maintaining detailed compliance documentation.
