Hi! I am an experienced, multilingual and licensed educator, with over 20 years of experience. I offer childcare, tutoring, pet and elderly care. I excel at working with neurodiverse individuals, children and teens.
“Andrea has always been wonderful with my girls (ages 3 and 5). She brings the very best of herself, as both a mom and an educator, to the time she spends with them, always doing arts and crafts, science experiments, and reading books. She is warm, loving, and also able to navigate their nonsense with firm kindness. Ever since my youngest daughter was tiny, there were times when Andrea was the only person I could trust to calm her when she was experiencing separation anxiety and inconsolable. Andrea is a gem!”
Bilingual (English–Spanish) caregiver with over 8 years of experience nurturing and educating children from infancy through school age. I bring 3–5 years of hands-on care for infants and 5–10 years supporting toddlers and school-aged children in their daily routines, development, and learning. Former Au Pair with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and CPR certification for children, I am known for creating safe, structured, and engaging environments where children can thrive. My approach blends respect, discipline, and positive behavior reinforcement, helping children build confidence and independence while learning through play, creativity, and exploration. Gifted in dancing, painting, and acting, I integrate art and movement into daily activities to encourage imagination, coordination, and emotional expression. Families appreciate my warm, responsible nature and my ability to form strong, trusting relationships based on open communication and care.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
