Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With eight years of experience caring for children ages newborn through 12, I am dedicated to providing a supportive, reliable environment for your family. I hold a college degree with coursework in Early Child Development, and I maintain current CPR Training and First Aid Training. My approach is patient, calm, and friendly. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules while keeping our time together fun. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or engaging in educational games, I prioritize active growth. I am also happy to assist with meal preparation, crafts, and swimming supervision. I communicate through your preferred method to ensure you stay informed about your child's day. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your child's development and a positive influence in your home.
I hired Andrew to care for my 5 year old son for a couple of days while we were visiting Portland and I had to work. In the hiring process, Andrew stood out because he was responsive and an excellent communicator, and he came with outstanding references. Andrew was wonderful with my son. It's a lot to ask someone to spend an 8 hour day with a kid they've never met before, and Andrew handled it beautifully, coming up with a range of activities and meeting my son where he was at. As a parent, it's hard to leave your kid with a total stranger, but I trusted Andrew completely. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!
