Meet Amanda

Hello! My name is Amanda and I am the mother of a 9 year old boy. I have been a nanny for almost 10 years. I am located in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. I absolutely love being a nanny and take great pride in what I do for a living. I get to have fun everyday taking care of little ones. I have worked with all age group and multiple kids at once. I love kids and take joy in knowing that I can make an impact in their lives no matter how small. My experience with children has been but not limited to: reading to them, arts and craft, exercise, yoga, long walks to burn off energy, bike rides, singing, playing dress up, taking them to and from activities, and so much more! Different age groups require different stimulation so these would vary. I love being able to express my Read more creativity with the little ones and know that they are having fun all while learning about the world and themselves! I am currently only available for evening/night sitting (weekdays and weekends).

Amanda is wonderful! She has a fantastic personality and I felt instantly comfortable with her. She handled our three kids like a champ and everyone seemed to have a great time. When we came home the house was clean and even the dishes were done (so unnecessary - but so appreciated!). I recommend her and I would definitely hire her again and again.

Amanda is an excellent nanny. She has been with us for 9 months, caring for my son since he was just 3 months old. She is great with him -- very loving and attentive. She reads to him and plays with him every day. Our son can be a very demanding baby, but under her watch he stays calm and content. Amanda is very reliable. She has never been late, and in the 9 months she has worked for us she has never needed a day off. She is a very down-to-earth and conscientious person. I am happy to talk with anyone who is interested in hiring Amanda. If you reach out to her, she can give you my contact information.

We hired Amanda a few weeks ago as a "mothers helper/house keeper" She has been here 3 times and we are very happy with her. She is on-time and works hard. She does what ever we ask of her; from taking out the recycling, organizing my children's drawers, scrubbing the kitchen floors, to name just a few. She has wonderful social skills and my children already love her. We feel we made a very good choice in selecting Amanda.
