Experience: 10 yrs
My professional career has been in private service as a nanny, personal assistant, and household manager, with more than 30 years of experience in both casual and formal households. I have worked with high-profile families in music, television and entertainment, and high-tech business, and I sign NDAs. I have experience working with children of all ages, including infants and teenagers. I enjoy teaching, playing outdoors, arts and crafts, supporting drama and performance activities, and helping with their development. I make sure children feel loved and safe when their parents are not present. I teach children to stay organized in their daily lives while improving their motor and social skills. I was born in Brazil; however, I am a U. S. citizen and have lived in the U. S. for more than 30 years. I hold a BA in Business/Management. I am a certified nutritionist and homeopath. I am highly organized and detail-oriented, extremely discreet, trustworthy, friendly, and reliable.
Andrea was absolutely amazing with our two special needs kids! We were coming from out of town and this was our first experience using care.com. She showed up on time daily, fed one through her stomach tube as needed, took the kids on walks/outings to nearby attractions they absolutely loved, and was warm and friendly with us all. She gave our boy the extra attention he loved. He even was a bit sad about her leaving. With our daughter who may take a bit to warm up to people, she was interactive quite quickly with Andrea. The gifts Andrea brought the kids were also winners. Our boy had to make sure he kept tabs on it daily around the house. Not only this, but she took great care of the house we rented, and everything was spotless when we returned. The kids were in bed sound asleep as she patiently awaited our return. We were sad to part ways when it was time to return home, but will absolutely contact Andrea again when we are in town. We lucked out with finding such an amazing, attentive, helpful, loving caretaker for our family during our vacation.
