About Amanda
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Currently, I am finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Communication Disorders and Deaf Education, with a minor in American Sign Language. Previously, I nannied for twin boys for 3 years, a nanny share with two little girls for about 1. 5 years, and various other more short-term nanny positions. I worked in a clinic for children with Autism doing play-based behavioral therapy full-time. I did this for 3 1/2 years. I attended school for my Massage Therapy license specializing in infant/pediatric massage & pre/postnatal massage. Finally, I have been working at the Shirley Ryan Ability lab since 2020 on their pediatric inpatient unit assisting physical, occupational, and speech therapists in their treatment sessions. I take health and wellness very seriously, especially when it comes to children. I absolutely love helping kids navigate their way through their development through music, art, staying active, and exploring the world.

Amanda is an incredible caregiver and we were so lucky to work with her from the time our twin boys were 4 months old until they were a little over 3 years. She took care of our kids full time for that entire duration. She is dependable, reliable, and a great communicator. More importantly she loves kids and is devoted to child development. Amanda was always thinking of creative and age appropriate activities for the boys and was eager to read up on and brainstorm solutions to any unique challenges we were having. We looked to Amanda for support and advice and she was a great thought partner. She takes her role seriously and yet always finds joy with the kids. She always noticed the things our kids liked doing and looked for ways to encourage their interests further. It's been over a year since we have worked with Amanda and our boys still light up when we talk about her. We can't recommend her enough!
