Experience: 12 yrs
Nurturing young minds is truly a joy for me. With 12 years of experience working with children, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for supporting children's growth and development. I have an Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education and Development and am certified in Adult and Pediatric CPR, First Aid, and AED. I have experience with newborn care, overnight care, multiples, special needs care, sleep training support, and educational activities. My caregiving approach balances structure with warmth, and I remain calm under stress while helping children co-regulate emotions, redirect behavior positively, and build confidence and independence. I also enjoy cooking, baking, art, and creative activities with children. While I am not fluent in ASL, I do have background education in sign language and am comfortable using simple signs with infants and toddlers to encourage early communication and language development.
Andrea is wonderful. She has cared for our 2.5 year old daughter multiple times and we have been extremely happy to find her and thankful for her support. She is reliable, extremely attentive, communicative, and has a warm personality and energy that is well suited for taking care of children of all ages. Andrea has suggested new activities that have been really engaging and our daughter always enjoys her time when she is here. She has also gone out of her way to be available for last minute help. I highly recommend her as a caretaker for any family looking for support.
