A little bit about me
My name is Amanda, and I was recently working as a nanny in the West Loop. After more than six wonderful years with my latest family, I am now seeking a new opportunity to continue my career in childcare.
I hold a background in Early Childhood Education and have over ten years of hands-on experience in the field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to support families in various capacities, including caring for multiple children, meal preparation and accompanying them on domestic travel.
I would welcome the opportunity to connect and explore whether we might be a good fit. I can be reached via email at [email hidden] or by ph[phone number hidden]

A little bit about me
I've had the privilege of working as a childcare professional and household manager for over a decade, and I'm grateful to continue doing work that I find deeply fulfilling.
A few years ago, my partner and I traveled the country full-time in an RV, giving me the opportunity to work with incredible families along the way. Since getting off the road, I've spent the last three years in Florida supporting a two-time Olympian and their two amazing children, strengthening my ability to stay organized, adaptable, and proactive in a fast-paced environment.
My experience includes childcare, household management, homeschooling support, schedule coordination, meal preparation, and organization. I take pride in anticipating needs, creating structure, and bringing a calm, positive presence into the home.
My partner and I recently purchased a home in Chicago, and I'm excited to find a wonderful family to support for years to come. I look forward to connecting!
