Sittercity helps Pleasant Prairie families find the best nannies

Hello! My name is Amanda, I'm 27 years old and have been working with children for a long time. My experience ranges from full time nanny, babysitting the neighbors kids to working as a preschool aid and youth counselor at the local park districts Before & After school program. Ensuring a fun, safe environment full of laughs and lots of play time is my goal. I can also help with basic household chores, homework and meal prep. - I have also worked directly with children who have special needs, coordinated and worked at special Olympic functions and volunteered. A little about myself - I spend most of my free time hiking and exploring the surrounding national parks. Outside is my favorite place to be. I've been an athlete all my life, I love playing and watching sports and keeping active. I spent the summer months in Colorado backpacking and hiking and after a lot of traveling lived in the beautiful state of Washington for nearly 7 years! I recently moved back to my home state Illinois and am looking for new beginnings and a fresh start!

I have cared for children of all ages, including managing up to five at a time. I enjoy supporting children’s growth by helping with homework, practicing reading, preparing meals, engaging in arts and crafts, and assisting with extracurricular activities. I am certified in First Aid and CPR and have completed infant care training. Currently, I am pursuing additional certifications and classes to continue improving my skills. I offer nannying services, including night nannying and housekeeping, alongside childcare. I also have a passion for cooking and household work, which helps me provide a well-rounded, supportive environment for families.

Caring for children has always come naturally to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I love being a sitter because I know how much trust it takes to leave your little ones in someone else’s care. I do everything I can to help both children and parents feel safe, supported, and respected. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or a challenging moment, I aim to bring calm, connection, and patience to every interaction. I was a nanny for over 5 years before transitioning into the healthcare field, where I most recently worked as a health care educator. Through both paths, one thing has always remained true: I love taking care of people. I am currently a full-time student enrolled in online courses and I’ve returned to part-time childcare. I’ve built strong relationships with families and continued with occasionally babysitting over the years. Date nights for parents are still important! I’m CPR certified and experienced with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. My background in healthcare and education gives me a unique edge when it comes to attentiveness, safety, and developmental awareness. I bring a warm, grounded energy into the home, and I’m often told I’m the kind of sitter kids feel instantly comfortable around. If you’re looking for someone dependable, emotionally attuned, and genuinely passionate about caregiving, I’d love to connect with your family!

I have experience caring for multiple children, twins, newborns, and school aged children. I’m starting to learn sign language and starting to learn how to work one on one with an autistic child. I’m learning how to help with daily routines and working side by side with therapists. I do have experience with caring for multiple children at once, including twins. I love doing outdoor and indoor activities; hand painting, coloring, and reading books are a normal part of our day. My days are full of different ideas to keep creative little minds going. Having raised 2 daughters of my own, I learned that having a fun day is most important!! I became a Certified Nurse Assistant in 2005, and worked as a Patient Care Tech for about 3 years, and I am CPR certified. My experience as a Nanny includes a variety of tasks in addition to childcare, including: light housekeeping, transportation to/from school and activities, cooking, and running errands. I am extremely reliable, never calling off work, and always on time. I am also very flexible with my schedule, and can start early or stay late on short notice. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have reliable transportation. Happy to provide detailed resume and current references upon request. Diane M
