Amanda Rose Jetter was born on November 6, 1994 in Cincinnati, Ohio to parents, Gerald and Denise Jetter. She has one older brother, Derek; not to be confused with New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter.

Jetter first started gymnastics in 1998; at the age of four, after she walked on four inch wide logs in her back garden. She enrolled in classes at Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy in Fairfield, Ohio and remained at the club throughout her entire club career. Six years after starting gymnastics training, at the age of nine, Amanda competed as a level eight gymnast; finishing third on balance beam at Regionals.

In 2005, Jetter moved up to level nine. She advanced to Easterns and placed nineteenth in the all-around. In 2006, at the age of eleven, Amanda was crowned the Eastern Level 9 champion in the all-around, on bars and on floor; placing higher than eventual 2012 Olympic Floor champion Alexandra Raisman. Later in the season, she qualified to pre-elite status and competed at the U.S. Challenge; finishing fourth in the all-around.

In 2007, Jetter moved up to level ten. She was State champion in the all-around, on vault and on floor. At J.O. Nationals, Amanda was crowned National Champion in the all-around, on beam and floor.

Following the level ten season, Jetter quaified to Junior International Elite status and competed at the U.S. Classic in Battle Creek, Michigan. At Classics, she was seventh in the all-around and thus, earned a qualification berth to Nationals. In mid-August 2007, Jetter travelled to San Jose, California for the 2008 VISA Nationals. She placed fourteenth in the all-around.
