Hi, I'm Andri. I’ve lived in NYC for 9 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!
“Andri was great with my very active almost 5yo boy. She kept him busy out of the house biking to the park and play space while I worked from home. Sent lots of photos and let me know where they were throughout! Thank you! ”
With over a decade of experience in diverse household settings, I bring a versatile, positive approach to childcare. My background in social work and psychology, combined with extensive hands-on experience, allows me to understand and support all stages of childhood development. I'm passionate about creating nurturing environments that foster children's potential and imagination. In the kitchen, I love involving kids as my little sous chefs, preparing nutritious meals and snacks that cater to all ages and palates. My culinary expertise spans various cuisines, with a special fondness for Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern flavors. Beyond childcare, I'm a certified doula and completed The Aura Institute's Pregnancy and Birth Practitioner training in 2023. This expertise allows me to support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, focusing on holistic wellness and empowerment. As a certified yoga teacher, I bring a calm, balanced approach to my work, adapting to each family's unique needs and routines.
“Cassia is wonderful. My daughter and I loved her company! ”
Hello! I’m a 29 year old student double majoring in Social Sciences at Columbia University. I’m originally from San Diego, CA & the Tijuana, BC area in Mexico. I’m CPR and First Aid Certified, speak English, Spanish, & conversational French. I’ve been caring for children over 10 years! I’m the best at pretend play, board games, crafts, singing and dancing with the kiddos. I clean up after all our activities which I strive to make engaging, educational, and fun; no matter the age group! I’ve cared for multiple (10+) children at a time, special needs children, have assisted at events, cared for sick children, children with allergies, and have also worked in a daycare setting environment. The ages of the children I’ve cared for range from 4 weeks - 16 years old. I have plenty references I’d be delighted to provide, including my latest long term position in the city. I can pick up/drop off and drive around your children, have a valid drivers license and clean driving record, can tutor or help with homework. I truly love spending time with children and enjoy their company, I value the flexibility of my profession and difference from a 9-5 job. I’m really excited to find a family that will be the best fit for me and hope to soon be the best fit for someone else! My goal is to provide the best service possible without a transactional experience. Thank you so much for taking the time to review my profile!
