Often, people who know Amanda, wonder how she manages to keep all those ‘balls in the air’ at the same  time.  And if you have a look at Amanda’s classes timetable you’ll see that there are at least 16 different classes going on each week - as well as the children’s parties throughout the London area.  As you can imagine, that requires a small corps of part-time dedicated ‘helpers’ to keep the Amanda show on the road, day by day, and to help her cope with any unforeseen eventualities - you know, like sickness, holidays and ‘real-life’ things like that!

Well Amanda’s now at the point where she’s looking to add to her pool of talented part-time helpers in and around London.  So if you’ve ever been to an Amanda class or an Amanda party and thought, “that looks fun” why not consider whether it’s something you’d like to get involved in? 

Typically, you’d need to be able to fill-in on an ad hoc basis for some of Amanda’s classes and /or parties, to cover both planned and unplanned absences and also you’d need :      

• self-employed status
• a driving licence and ready access to your own vehicle
• some free-time in the mornings during school time (for classes support)
• some free-time at weekends (for party support)
• an interest and aptitude for children’s activities and entertaining
• a very flexible approach to being called in at short notice (sometimes) 

If you think this is something you might be interested in (on an ad hoc, part-time basis) why not give Amanda a call on 07946 707 695.

Don’t know about you - but I’m worn out already!

What’s it all about - these 0-5 ALIVE! FAMILY FUN DAYS.  Well  -  Amanda Frolich, London’s premier children’s entertainer and fitness guru, is embarking on an ambitious plan to organise a series of dynamic events to help families take time out of their busy lives; allowing them to relax, let off steam and enjoy precious time together. Amanda promotes the importance of a healthy lifestyle and encourages families to get fit together using music, interactive games and fun exercise routines.

0-5 Alive! Family Fun Day will enable everyone to enjoy a fun filled afternoon at venues such as Deep Restaurant in Chelsea, Fulham and Chelsea Football Clubs - stunning locations with great facilities and luxury in mind. The activities for families to share and experience together feature Amanda’s high energy interactive routines. Her unique props and funky music ensure everyone joins in.

The events will also feature a demonstration by 5-time British Aerobic Gymnastic Champion Katie Cannon.

To add to the fun, one of the worlds top balloon modellers will offer a choice of 140 models, there’s a funky hairstylist and mini makeovers will be on offer for children and adults. There is also a family disco throughout the day.

When mums and dads need a breather they can unwind in exclusive chill-out areas while the little ones are entertained. Pampering on offer includes manicures, seated acupressure massage and grooming for dads from top men’s salon Genco. For those who just can’t bear to leave the laptop at home a quiet area with wi-fi access is available.

There will be a chance to sample HiPP organic food for babies and toddlers and Captain Tortue will exhibit their range of French Children’s Clothes.

Amanda Frolich said: “I decided to create a unique party atmosphere of fun filled activities to help families reconnect and get re-energised. Too often, in my work, I see young families struggle with every day pressures of work and balancing family life, that’s why I think it’s important to take time out of our hectic lives and reconnect as a family. I’ve designed the events with something for all the family in mind. There’s areas dedicated to relaxation to help parents unwind, action packed activities for little ones and sessions to encourage families to exercise together for a fit and healthy lifestyle through simple dance routines. It’s a great way for parents to de-stress and relax and re-energise and discover fun with their little-ones.”

Amanda and Amanda’s Action Kids

• Amanda inspires pre-schoolers through a unique interactive toddler workout that incorporates both music and movement.
• Amanda is a well known and well loved face on the pre-schooler ‘scene’ in London as she has been teaching many local babies and toddlers for the past 17 years.
• Amanda has been described by a leading parenting website as a ‘Female Pied Piper’ as she has such an amazing way of capturing childrens attention.
• The government initiative Sure Start were so impressed with the educational value of Amanda sessions that a number of West London Sure Starts asked her to run sessions, special events and physical development training courses.
• Amanda children’s parties are a speciality and she has entertained many children of celebrities from the music, film and TV industries.
• Amanda runs training sessions for teachers and nurseries in many London boroughs including Ealing and Hillingdon and she works in partnership with many nurseries and groups offering fun and fitness sessions for children.
• Amanda says, “I have the best job in the world… through my classes, I get to see children learn, grow and develop and it is just so much fun and immensely rewarding. I can help them learn, achieve the early learning goals whilst all the time having fantastic fun.”

As I’m sure most of you know, London will host the Olympic and the Paralympic Games in 2012.  As a proud Londoner herself, Amanda’s obviously very keen on the notion of promoting anything that encourages kids to get fit and keep fit and of course to get involved in any way that they can to support what will be a great time for Londoners  There are now only 4 years to go until the London Olympics begins, so it’s highly unlikely that anybody who’s presently attending one of Amanda’s toddler classes is going to end up on the podium in 2012, but there will be many different ways that youngsters and parents can get involved in the cultural events and activities at various London schools over the next 4 years and Amanda will be encouraging all her kids to do their bit.

There are things happening all over London. However, most new sporting facilities will be focused in four London boroughs:

• Hackney
• Newham
• Tower Hamlets
• Waltham Forest

There’ll obviously be lots of building and structural work going on in those areas in order to create the kind of stadia that a world-wide event like the Olympic Games demands.  Hopefully much of what is being constructed will live-on for Londoners afterwards - as part of the London Olympic legacy!
