Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic caregiver offering child care and household support. I have experience working with children through camp programs, where I cared for toddlers, and as a swim instructor teaching kids from ages 1 up to 15. I’ve worked with a wide range of ages and abilities, focusing on safety, patience, and building confidence. I’m comfortable leading activities, providing one-on-one care, and creating a fun, supportive environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and truly enjoy helping kids feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Jessica $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a warm, reliable, and bilingual caregiver with extensive experience working with children. I hold Montessori Early Childhood Education credits and previously worked as a Montessori preschool teacher for children ages 2–5, where I supported each child’s growth through hands-on learning, patience, and respect for their individuality. I am CPR certified and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel valued and supported. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and attentive. I enjoy helping children build confidence, independence, and a love of learning while providing parents with peace of mind that their little ones are in capable and compassionate hands.

Jessica $22 per hour for 1 child

I served as a nanny throughout my college years and am also a mother to three children, who are now in high school, middle school, and third grade. While I have experience across all ages, I find the toddler stage particularly rewarding as they begin to explore the world around them. I also find the infant stage to be a truly precious time. To ensure I can provide my undivided attention and the highest quality of care, I am primarily looking to work with a single family rather than participating in a nanny share. I would love to discuss how my experience and approach to childcare might align with your family's needs.
