Yodit Amare

Meet Yodit Amare!

Yodit and her family have been utilizing MNH&V as a resource since 2013. Their 11-year-old daughter was born with congenital sensorineural hearing loss and MNH&V played an important role in giving them confidence to be her number one advocates. Yodit has now joined MNH&V as a Metro Parent Guide in the hopes of being a part of the journey and support system for families as they navigate parenting a child with a hearing difference.

Yodit was born in Ethiopia but moved to Minnesota when she was 7 years old. Yodit is fluent in Amharic and continues to improve her ASL skill/knowledge. She and her husband have five kids and a large extended family. They live in the east metro and love spending time with each other. Yodit is also a nurse with a wide range of experiences. She loves to cook while listening to audio books, spending one-on-one time with each of her kids and volunteering. Her days are filled with activities with the kids, managing her 11-year-old's care, and running a busy household.
