Hi, my name is Amber. I’m twenty six years old with two kids and a college sophomore. I major in Human Resources. I am fully equipped on the e-learning classes and keeping the children focus.
I am a five-year experience babysitter and three-year paid Chime/Sittercity Nanny. I have a Valid driver’s license of two years, own a car, and lives in the Belmont-Cragin area. I am transitioning from working in corporate to have more time and money for my children. Nannying will help me be free to not miss out on their childhood.

A little bit about me
Hello! I'm Alexanda. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I'm excited to introduce myself as your potential nanny. From 8 weeks to 15 years old, I've had the privilege of nurturing a wide range of children. Hailing from a family of educators, teaching and caring for children is not just a job but a cherished tradition passed down through generations. Inspired by the teachings of my mother and grandmother, both esteemed teachers, I believe in the power of kindness and gentle nurturing in guiding children. I've also had the honor of working with children with special needs, offering support and care tailored to their individual requirements. As a CPR-certified caregiver, safety is always my top priority. With a warm heart and a playful spirit, I am dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
