Hi, my name is Amanda and I am 35. I am outgoing and like being creative! I am a mother to an amazing 2 year-old girl who I enjoy spending my days with. Caring for children has been a constant for me, as I have always received so much happiness from it. I like to be intentional with my time with the littles with positive reinforcement that encourages kindness, confidence, and love. Creating fun and interactive play that includes learning together is a specialty of mine. I am very hands on and being present is important to me and a joy as our littles are growing into their wonderful selves. I practice mindfulness, patience, and calm. I have my own vehicle and like to do outings to keep the little ones engaged. I have taken many child development courses- "Positive Parenting Solutions" was a favorite. Looking forward to meeting you! I live here in the South Loop, my condo is baby proofed from my own toddler, and laden with toys to welcome your little one.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Amanda. My kids absolutely love spending time with her. She always comes prepared with fun activities that keep them engaged and excited. Whether it’s crafts, outdoor play, or educational games, she knows exactly how to connect with them and make their time together special. What I appreciate most is how respectful and attentive she is to our parenting preferences. Amanda always follows our routines, honors our house rules, and checks in if anything comes up. Her communication is excellent. She’s reliable, punctual, and keeps us updated throughout the day, which gives us so much peace of mind. She is patient, kind, and clearly experienced with children of different ages. We truly feel lucky to have found her, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring, and enthusiastic sitter.
