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 home is baby proofed from my own toddler, and laden with toys to welcome your little one.
Amanda was wonderful! Kind and direct. Clear communications, and on time. Put us at ease and offered ways for us to feel confident in her first go with three kids she never met before. She was unfazed by the tough scenario of getting them down to sleep in a hotel room after they were amped up at a wedding.
