About Amanda

Experience: 10 yrs

My name is Amanda, and I am a proud graduate of Northern Illinois University, holding a Bachelor of Arts degree. With 20 years of experience in childcare, I have had the privilege of caring for children ranging from infants to teenagers, including families with multiple children and pets. I excel in light housekeeping and enjoy planning engaging family activities such as reading, outdoor play, board games, and arts and crafts. Cooking is one of my passions, and I can prepare nutritious meals tailored to specific dietary requirements, including food allergies, vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian options. Additionally, I offer pet sitting services for dogs, cats, birds, and more, with the capability to stay in your home while you are away if needed. I pride myself on being flexible with my availability to meet your family's needs. Thank you for considering my services.

Amanda is a kind and hard-working person with a palpable love for children (and pets)! She has been a trustworthy, doting caregiver, adapting as our child grew from a tiny infant into a busy toddler. She was wonderful at getting our sleep-fighter down for a nap and was always happy to oblige our daughter in her all-time favorite activity: piggyback rides. Amanda also would drive her to different field trips, from the park to the DuPage County Fair. Amanda also took care of our dog, taking him for walks, preparing his meals, and giving him lots of belly rubs. Beyond how well she cared for our daughter and dog, we really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work late, change schedule as needed, and to work overnight shifts. It gave us so much peace of mind, knowing that our child was safe and loved with Amanda!
