About Andrea

I am a Monterey Bay Native with over 15 years of professional experience in working with children and serving families. I began my work with children by teaching ballet, jazz, and acrobats with Jeanne Robinsons Dance Arts in Salinas. My students ranged between the ages of 3-12 and I occasionally babysat for some of my students after building trust and confidence with their families. After graduating high school, I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to attend university and worked as a part-time babysitter to pay my way through school. In 2021 I received my emergency substitute teaching credential with Monterey Peninsula Unified School District. As of January 2023 I have worked as an after school dance and yoga instructor with the Pajaro Unified School District in partnership with Watsonville Yoga Dance and Healing Arts. I offer kind compassionate and patient care to the children I work with. I believe in the importance of healthy communication, positive role modeling!
