Andrea 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

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!”

Aneila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Aneila! I’m a student that just turned 21 years old and I love being around children! I grew up watching kids my whole life so it’s all I’ve ever known. I’ve babysat family & friends children’s but never as an actual job. I have also worked at boys and girls club with kids throughout many different ages, working with over 20+ children even alone. I say that me being able to enjoy a job working and being able to provide for children makes me a great caregiver because I’ll never not enjoy it. I hope you can trust me to be your caregiver! :)

"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!"
