Andrea 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am an experienced, multilingual and licensed educator, with over 20 years of experience. I offer childcare, tutoring, pet and elderly care. I excel at working with neurodiverse individuals, children and teens.

Andrea has always been wonderful with my girls (ages 3 and 5). She brings the very best of herself, as both a mom and an educator, to the time she spends with them, always doing arts and crafts, science experiments, and reading books. She is warm, loving, and also able to navigate their nonsense with firm kindness. Ever since my youngest daughter was tiny, there were times when Andrea was the only person I could trust to calm her when she was experiencing separation anxiety and inconsolable. Andrea is a gem!

Booked by 1 family in Melrose, MA

Hello! My name is Teagan and I have been working with kids of all ages for about 11 years. I have experience working with children from ages 0-16. Please reach out if you have any questions! Thanks!

Teagan looked after my son (four and a half months old) during the day while I ran some errands. She was energetic when she walked in and it was clear she knew a baby of his ages rhythm. Luca didn’t take a long nap like he typically does by Teagan was able to calm him down and do some more chilled playtime. She was also communicative throughout the day.
