Andrea Joy 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
$22 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Andrea and I have experience working with children from newborn on up, in a variety of settings. I've worked as a babysitter over the years, as an after school teacher for 2nd-3rd graders, been a middle school cheer coach, and I've also worked as a sitter working at large events caring for children from newborn-middle school age. I am warm, compassionate, selfless and have a very big heart- especially for children. I enjoy a variety of activities with children and always do my best to omit or limit screen time so we can interact and engage instead.
“Andrea has been taking care of our kids for years, and has become like another member of our family. The kids love playing with her. She is so sweet and kind with our children, and appropriately firm when necessary. And when she cooks for the kids, coming home to a tidied kitchen is a bonus. Can't recommend her enough.”

Hello! My name is Marianella. I’ve had several years of babysitting and nannying experience working with children of all ages newborn, infant, toddlers, and elementary age. I have two beautiful terrific kids 🥰. In addition, I’m from Colombia - South America so, I would like to share my culture with you. My primary hobbies of nannying include crafts or creative activities! I’m a very happy person and really enjoy working with kids, so if you’re looking for someone high energy, I’ve definitely got it! What I love most about babysitting is being a support for the family.
