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 that brings much happiness. I am 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- "PPS" was a favorite. I live in the SL and provide childcare in my home, and travel to others as wel
Amanda was amazing with our son, and it was a major bonus that she brought her daughter along for the sessions! They had a great time playing together, and Amanda brought some toys they could share. She was also very sweet and patient when our son got sick for a couple days - but then he recovered and the two kiddos were back at play. Amanda is a very knowledgeable and kind caregiver, would absolutely call her up again if we find ourselves in the Chicago area. Highly recommended!
