Experience: 8 yrs
Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest professional passion. With eight years of experience, I provide patient, calm, and reliable care for up to two children. My background includes Early Child Development coursework, which helps me create engaging educational games and activities. I am also comfortable with pets and happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and creative crafts. Because I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide attentive swimming supervision. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications. I prioritize clear communication and will always follow your preferred method to update you on your child's day. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules to ensure consistency. I look forward to supporting your family and becoming a positive, steady influence in your children's lives.
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!
