    My son and I were quarantined during the pandemic in Chicago. Having an 11yr old child with autism being thrown off of his routine was extremely stressful for both of us. I finally decided to get a nanny for occasional care(about twice a week) and I couldn't have gotten luckier than Amy. Regarding the pandemic, safety was a priority for Amy as she was very thoughtful and careful in her interactions. Caring, dependable, punctual, intuitive, experienced and knowledgeable. Amy was amazing and allowed me to reset and be confident that my son was safe and having fun. Highly recommend! I would absolutely rehire if I ever needed care when back in Chicago!
