Experience: 5 yrs
I am a dedicated caregiver currently pursuing my Master of Social Work degree, bringing over five years of hands-on babysitting/nannying experience. Most recently, I worked as a social worker with children, teaching emotion regulation and coping skills-an experience that informs my nurturing, intentional approach to childcare. I am passionate about fostering children's growth and positive development, and I find deep fulfillment in making a positive impact on their lives. My style is patient, calm, and creative, and I strive to create an environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore and learn. I'm naturally friendly and approachable, which helps me build strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families. I believe in partnering with parents and will always follow your lead on communication preferences and household rules. I'm committed to providing consistent, reliable care that aligns with your family's values.
Ande is extremely reliable, kind, and a completely trustworthy sitter and our three children have always been comfortable with her because she provides warmth and patience with them. Ande always truly engages with the children - playing, reading, and making sure our children feel safe, happy, and supported. We recommend Ande without hesitation and any family would be fortunate to have her caring for their children.
