About

It All Began When …

Hi, I'm Amy Haldeman!  Born and raised in the Hershey area of PA, let’s fast forward to the part where I moved to Chicago for my undergrad where I started working as a nanny for a slew of amazing families. After my husband completed grad school, we moved to Pittsburgh, where I started East Wind Nannies while raising 3 beautiful children... all under the age of 3. It is hard to believe I've had the privilege of helping families find nannies for almost 13 years-- an honor and responsibility I do not take lightly.

It All Began When …

Hi! My name is Amy Haldeman. This page is for you to get to know me and my amazing team just a little bit better. Born and raised in the Hershey area of PA, let’s fast forward to the part where I moved to Chicago for my undergrad where I started working my dream job as a nanny for a slew of amazing families. This unique opportunity afforded me job stability for years to come-- not to mention relationships that I value today! After my husband completed grad school, we moved back east to Pittsburgh, where I started East Wind Nannies while raising 3 beautiful children... all under the age of 3. It is hard to believe I've had the privilege of helping families find nannies for over 10 years-- an honor and responsibility I do not take lightly.

TIME IN A BOTTLE

EN · TRE · PRE · NEUR  | CREATOR OF A NEW BUSINESS WIFE | MARRIED IN 2007 MOM | ADOPTIVE &  BIOLOGICAL 

Over the years, my passion has shifted from just running this fantastic business to being a working mom and investing well in my children. My husband Joel and I began our parenting journey by fostering our eldest two kids and later adopting them.

I’m learning that my most valuable asset is time. My family and I have chosen to pursue a simpler life, picking experiences over entertainment, valuing time together over money. When I’m 85, I don’t want to look in my hindsight glasses and think I just climbed the corporate ladder, and yet… I missed out on my kid’s milestones.

Some people were made to be phenomenal with kids. Some were made to be snazzy lawyers fighting for what they believe in. Some are doctors fighting on the front lines, some architects, some are chefs or classical musicians. 


What’s YOUR calling? One of the most beautiful pieces of my job is helping people to do the work they’re called to do by doing what I’m called to do-- and doing that with my whole being. As I pursue more time with my family, I hope to be able to give you that, too. 




I BELIEVE IN:


chasing big dreams, family traditions, and taking risks.

MY HAPPY PLACES:


watching the sunset, curled under a blanket by the fire, date nights with my kids, and traveling to new places.

YOU CAN FIND ME:


renovating a real estate property, hiking a mountain, sitting with my Macbook in hand dreaming of East Wind Nannies future!

DAILY RITUALS:


cuddles with my adorable children, drinking Kumbucha, and striving to be a minimalist.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D:


start a company, run a marathon, and be a working mom.

Currently

DRINKING:       a Mojito
