Hi there, my name is Andrew! I am a 3rd year nursing student at the University of Pittsburgh who hopes to work as a neonatal or pediatric nurse. My expertise is particularly focused towards caring for newborns and infants. Children bring so much joy into our lives and safety is my upmost priority. I have 2 years of previous work experience as a babysitter as well as 1 year of inpatient hospital experience in the postpartum unit and newborn nursery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. I am comfortable with nightshift work, twins, and medically complex infants/kids. As part of my nursing education I am trained in adult and senior care as well. As a requirement for my work I have been cleared by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for work with children. The Pennsylvania State Police have attested that I do not have a criminal record. I am certified by the American Heart Association for infant, child, and adult CPR and other life support & first aid techniques. I would be happy to provide these documents upon request. In my free time I enjoy knitting, watching TV with my cat, drawing, and reading. I am very crafty, so if your kid(s) love art or science, we will likely get along great! I have always been drawn to cats and dogs, but am willing to branch out and meet other animals! I grew up with dogs, had a 10 gallon fish tank, and now have a cat named Buttermilk! On Mondays and Wednesdays between 11:30am and 4:30pm I am a teaching assistant and researcher at Pitt and will not be available those hours. I offer sliding scale rates for low income or single parent households. I understand how difficult it can be to find a caretaker who fits your needs and who you trust with your family, so I am available for zoom or in person interview. It is my goal to match with a family who are looking for a reliable babysitter for their kids long term! I appreciate your consideration and hope to be in contact with you soon!
“We love Andrew! He is wonderful with our wild 3.5 yo girl. Always on time communicative and amazing at joining her in her world. Highly rec ”
Hello, I’m Brooklyn! I am a student at the University of Pittsburgh currently studying for a Masters in applied developmental psychology, early, and special education. I have two siblings that I have spent plenty of time watching while my parents are away. In addition, I have been hired for two internships, one with Partners in Play Lab, and a position at The Watson Institute LEAP Preschool. I consider myself to be very adaptable, positive, and kind-spirited. I love board games, any sort of pretend play, or educational games and activities. I believe in consistency between caregiver and parent, so I am willing to follow guidelines and expectations set by parents! Thank you for your consideration!!
