Hello! My name is Amanda, I'm 27 years old and have been working with children for a long time. My experience ranges from full time nanny, babysitting the neighbors kids to working as a preschool aid and youth counselor at the local park districts Before & After school program. Ensuring a fun, safe environment full of laughs and lots of play time is my goal. I can also help with basic household chores, homework and meal prep. - I have also worked directly with children who have special needs, coordinated and worked at special Olympic functions and volunteered. A little about myself - I spend most of my free time hiking and exploring the surrounding national parks. Outside is my favorite place to be. I've been an athlete all my life, I love playing and watching sports and keeping active. I spent the summer months in Colorado backpacking and hiking Read more and after a lot of traveling lived in the beautiful state of Washington for nearly 7 years! I recently moved back to my home state Illinois and am looking for new beginnings and a fresh start!
