Hi there! I like to go by Andy. I am three years into a graduate program in School Psychology and I am well-versed in child development and education. I'm caring, patient, flexible, and I love working with kids! I have combined seven years of experience babysitting, tutoring, and working as a peer mentor for school-aged kids, including neurodivergent youth. I have also been counseling and teaching social-emotional lessons to students through my program. I am working full time at an elementary school this year, but looking for part time summer gigs with kids in the Tacoma area between June-Aug.
“Andy was fantastic with our daughter. We appreciated his attention to detail, great communication, and taking the extra effort to tidy up our hectic home. Our kid can’t wait for Andy to come back again.”

My name is Cameo, and I am a devoted caregiver with extensive experience caring for children and pets. I have three children aged 3 to 11 years, which has deepened my understanding of child development and the importance of a nurturing environment. Additionally, I helped raise my little sister from the age of 16, further enhancing my caregiving skills. I genuinely love working with children and animals, fostering a compassionate and engaging atmosphere for everyone in my care. I prioritize creating a safe and fun environment while promoting growth and learning. I am looking for clients who would also be open to me bringing my 3-year-old with me to jobs, as I believe in fostering strong family bonds and can provide care that accommodates my child’s needs. I am patient, nurturing, and dedicated to making every caregiving experience enriching for the little ones and pets I look after.
