Her last day is Friday, May 12.
She shared this message on AM Live this Monday:
I wanted to share this news with you because I consider many of you my friends and family, and some of you really are.
As many of you know, I have three children under six and one with disabilities. It feels like the right time to work a different schedule.
I know this comes as a surprise to some, especially with Maddy leaving, but I know you guys will be in good hands. We have wonderful staff on air and behind the scenes.

While I am looking forward to the future, it is bittersweet.
I am a Valley girl. I have watched ABC30 since I was a kid, started here as an intern and came back in 2012 to work in my hometown.
For the past 11 years, I have grown as a person, journalist and become a mother three times. You have all been a part of that.
All of us at ABC30 are sad to see Amanda leave, but we are so excited to see what comes next for her and her family.
