A little bit about me

Hello there! My name is Amanda and I am 25 years old. I have 5+ years of experience caring for children aged 0-16 from daycare work, nannying/babysitting work, and having a toddler of my own. I am First Aide and CPR certified, non-smoker, non-drinker, and with reliable transportation. Currently, I work as Youth Associate at a public library and I am getting my Master's online for education and library science, so I know of some great activities for all ages. I have also owned various pets in my life and can assist with pet care if needed(because they are family too). Looking to help out a family or two throughout the week, and am willing to drive up to 35 minutes. Looking forward to getting to know you :)

"Amanda was great with our two kiddos, a now 18 month boy and 4 year old girl. I only ever needed part time care for overnight, weekends and occasional weekdays. Even if I needed a change in schedule, Amanda was flexible with her time and great with communication. Not to mention, she always prepared some sort of activity that was great for both ages, or just taking them out of the house for some fun. I still trust her to this day with I need care! Excellent sitter/nanny!"

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Employed this past year at Guidepost Montessori as a Lead Guide, 2 years ago I was at Rivercity Preschool as a Float, mainly with children under 4 years, but up to 12 throughout the week. Babysitting and nannying work on occasional circumstances(at least 5 times every season) since 2017.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts and crafts, outdoor games with both mental and physical use, imaginative play, dancing and music exploration, ASL and Spanish basic word activities, preparing children for basic chores such as making food prep enjoyable and fun games with putting toys away.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Communication with the caregivers, ensuring a healthy mind, body, and spirit, and being there for the children In the best ways.

My experience with special needs children...

I volunteered while in school to assist with the special needs children aged 13-18 with activities. Although more limited experience, I am comfortable working with any child, especially with tips and guidance from parents.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When the child I cared for, who was 5, trusted me to catch him as he slid down from a tall slide for the first time. The amount of trust he gave to me at such a normal moment meant a lot and I still hold it near to my heart.

Veronica L. - Seeking Work in Palos Hills

Full-Time Nanny Available in Palos Hills, IL: Veronica L.

I am a mom of 4. My oldest is 19 and my youngest just turned 6. I was a stay at home mom and now that all of my children are in school full time I'm getting out there to find work too. I'm very crafty, I love to play, and I always had my children on a schedule. I worked a few hours at an elementary school as a recess guard so I had to make sure everyone was safe and learned everyone's names very quickly. I always treat any child in my care as my own.
