Hi there! My name is Amanda and I'm a reliable and hardworking 26 year old caregiver. I’m incredibly passionate about raising kind, intelligent, strong, and creative human beings. With 8 years of experience as a professional nanny, I have extensive knowledge of child development and what it takes to support children through each stage of life. I lean into warmth, connection, and creativity while incorporating fun and educational activities into everyday life. I believe one of the most important things I can ever teach children is that every moment—however mundane it may be—is an opportunity for learning, growing, and having fun! Some of the responsibilities I’ve taken on as a nanny have included: -Planning age-appropriate activities to develop physical, emotional, and intellectual growth -Managing schedules -Cooking/feeding -Sleep/nap training -Potty training -Driving children to/from school, sports, play dates, etc. -Homework help -Laundry -General house tidying -Home organization -Grocery shopping or other errands -Any other miscellaneous child-related tasks In addition to building warm and nurturing relationships with the children I care for, I really value building strong relationships with the families I work for, as I recognize it truly does take a village. I look forward to connecting and possibly joining your village!

Hi everyone! I recently graduated from University of Illinois in December and I'm looking for babysitting and nannying jobs during the upcoming spring semester (January 19-May 16). I won't be taking classes, so my schedule will be very open and I can accommodate a variety of days and times. I love working with kids and have been babysitting since I was 12! For the past 4 years, I also coached gymnastics and diving with kids ages 2-16. Additionally, I have a reliable car to help out with any drop-off or pick-ups! Please reach out if you have any questions!
