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.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
