Hi, I'm Andri. I’m 24 years old I’ve lived in NYC for 8 years and I’m new in this app and seeking my next nanny opportunity with a wonderful family. I'm a kind, compassionate, and caring person also I’m very energetic person also I love to make healthy meals. caregiving has always been a part of my day-to-day. So, naturally, I turned to childcare as a profession at the age of 15. My background caring for infants, toddlers, and I upgraded to working with private families during the day and in the evenings I worked as a waitress. I've worked with a family as a Nanny and now their family are moving out to a different state. I've been working in childcare for the last 8 years, in my free time I like to play sports such as soccer and swimming and also I love to go to the gym. need some extra love between homes. I'm lookingforward to finding the next family that I'll be working with long-term or part time. It's important that we both feel we're the right match for one another, so I appreciate you taking the time to read through my bio. I hope we connect soon!

We had Andri over for a full day with my son and they had a great time! Would definitely recommend Andri and have her for future jobs!

Hello! Thanks for looking at my profile! In my childcare experience, I’ve worked as a camp counselor, nanny, Mother’s helper and director of summer camp. I’ve cared for children from 2 weeks up to 12 years. I enjoy incorporating my knowledge and experience with art into my work with children because I believe it helps them to express their creativity. I attended the University of Oregon and graduated with a dual degree in Latin American Studies and Theater. Thanks for your consideration.
