Andrea $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Andrea, and I’m passionate about caring for both kids and animals. I have a year of experience working with children and am currently a Campus Supervisor at an elementary school. I’m also CPR certified and studying to become a teacher. Working with kids is truly my calling! In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience with pet care. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, have done plenty of dog sitting, and I’m a proud cat parent to two sweet kitties, so I’m happy to offer cat sitting as well. With my background and dedication, you can trust that your children and pets will be in safe, caring, and reliable hands.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
