I love children and children love me. I’m very lucky and blessed, children are enchanted with me and we naturally delight in each others company. I am a highly trained caregiver in providing for your child’s mental, emotional and physical needs. I bring over 25 years of practical experience with children, from infancy through teenage-hood. I’ve had unique opportunities of working with children ranging in needs from being deemed extremely gifted to being a patient in a lock-down psychiatric ward. It’s important to me that children are given the opportunity to and learn to cultivate their ability to: thrive, be resilient, express themselves fully, develop high levels of self-efficacy & self-worth, love and be loved. I love to play! I’m crafty, artsy, musical, adventurous, active, happy and have great boundaries! Children naturally love me, this makes my job very easy. 😍 (I’ve also worked as a private chef, caterer, and personal assistant.) Some of my experiences with children include: -2 summers of teaching K-5 Science and Art for summer school, 4 yrs of substitute teaching, 2.5 years teaching pre-school for 3'-4's, 2yrs as aTiger Cub 'mom', 2 years I ran a Children's Crisis Shelter, 4 yrs I worked in a lock-down Psychiatric Children's Facility. I was a licensed Respite Care Provider and Foster Parent. I contracted with Child Protective Services for 5 years. I created a program working with Autistic boys (1 yr), for 4.5 years I was a Family Builder Specialist and Program Manager, for 2 yrs I was a Child Developmental and Behavioralist Specialist. I have been a temporary, part time, and full time nanny and sitter for over 20years. Over Covid lockdown I ran a private school and course for grades k&1. I volunteer with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Adventure Scouts, food kitchens, Women’s DV shelters... Using my expertise in emotions, I teach classes for parents (and also for children) on empowerment, emotional development and intelligence, transformation, and self efficacy/esteem. ** Please note that I have cancellation policy - if you cancel a booking with in a week of, I charge a $50 cancellation fee or 50% of the booking, whichever is higher. After having several last minute cancellations I’ve had to implement this policy, thank you for understanding! **

Booked by 6 families in Benicia, CA

Hi! My name is Andrea & I’m presently looking to work with new families. I provided care for 2 children consistently for 6 years however, those children are now in full time school so I’m caring for them just occasionally for parents’ date night. I also enjoy providing senior care, as I took care of 3 grandparents in their golden years. I am full of patience & kindness for the little ones & am creative & imaginative. I have energy & endurance for newborns up to teenagers. I have a good understanding of social & emotional needs of both children & seniors. I really love working in environments that require organizational skills as i’m detail oriented. I am highly adaptable to most situations & cool under pressure which i think is a must when caring for little ones & elders. I have no problem with homework guidance. I like meal planning & prepping - love feeding people a healthy but delicious meal. If you’re looking for a highly experienced nanny please reach out. I have 3 adult children so newborns are one of my favorite ages to be with. I love children & connect & bond with them easily. Little ones & our seniors need expert care & i enjoy providing that to families. Thank you.

Andrea is wonderful - she is highly recommended from long term families she has helped. We are lucky to have her !

Booked by 4 families in Benicia, CA

I am a private school teachers aide for special needs children and have worked with kids aged 6 to 18 in this field. Before being a teacher, I was a respite care provider for special needs children. Overall, I have been in the field professionally for 4 years, but have done nannying since I was 15, for children as young as 3 months! (I am now 23 years old) Before this field, I worked in elderly assisted living. I had a variety of pets growing up and am comfortable caring for animals as well! I am passionate, energetic, and think quick on my feet. I can care for multiple children or pets at a time, and I do not tire easily. I also know a bit of conversational American Sign Language!

Sita was great! On time, very attentive, and great communication. Went above and beyond our expectations!
