Hello Parents- I just recently moved to our wonderful State of Illinois from Sunny South Florida! If only you all knew how many questions I get asking why I moved to the cold weather! Many reasons, but I will share that information during an interview. Prior to my move, I was an Emergency Dispatcher studying to be a Paramedic-Firefighter as well as a substitute at a Local Pre-School within my neighborhood. I also use to Nanny, and babysit as needed while attending school. Since my move to Chicago has been life changing in many ways, I decided to get back into child care to continue my original career choice to be a teacher in early childhood development. I do have experience with many age groups, and love being around all ages! I don't have a favorite to be honest, as long as we are all having fun. To be honest, Read more I am not a parent - but I do understand the safety for children is top priority. I am one of five children, so I have nephews and nieces that mean the world to me; and I will not put their life with just anybody from online, just like I won't put my life in harms way with Spam-ers who contact us daily. I am a very honest person, and will do anything to make sure the family I watch is protected at all times. A Nanny is someone who you should trust, build a family-based relationship with for years to come, and to make sure everyone feels apart of the family. If you would like to schedule phone interview as well as an interview so that I may show my professionalism in child-care, as well as introduce myself to the family and the standards I wish to provide - that would be gratefully appreciated. I like to provide as much information regarding my care, and what I can do to improve OUR TEAM Lifestyle together. I look forward to positive replies, and hope to work with great families in the mean time! Sincerely, Amy, The Super Nanny!
