Field Trips, Co-Chair

Amaris Scipione

Hi! I’m Amaris (pronounced AM-ah-ris) and a mom to a four-year-old son and step-mom to a 22 year-old son. When my four-year old son was first born, I worked full-time in marketing and video production, but an accident changed my career. I am now a stay-at-home mom and work-from-home travel agent. I joined NHPP when my neighbor introduced me, and I am so thankful she did.

My early days of mothering were tough. My four year old was born prematurely at 29 weeks which resulted in a 69 day long NICU stay. I knew parenting was tough, but I was not prepared for how difficult it would be! Once our son was home, it felt like everything was finally getting back on track to a “normal” experience. We joined NHPP when my son was about one year old and I was excited to meet other moms and for my son to make new friends. We attended several field trips and I signed up to work on the field trip committee. It was a wonderful experience and I’ve met a lot of awesome families. My son and I both made several friends and we continue to keep in touch even through the pandemic. I am looking forward to getting back to a new normal for NHPP and to welcome more families to our community as other members did for me when I first joined.
