A little bit about me

I am a 62 year old professional woman, bilingual, born in Brooklyn, NY but raised in Puerto Rico from Puertorican parents. Love to work with children and I am hoping to get a live-in arrangement opportunity in Orlando, FL. I moved to Orlando, Florida 2 years ago and I am ready to start working with children. I was a nanny for 3 years driving and picking up the children from school, taking care of their needs after school. I also cook Spanish food which is always my clients favorite, Lol! I also did light housekeeping. I worked 8 years as a live-in caretaker for special needs people. They are like children and do require a special care and different care which I was fully trained by the agency I worked for. Got all certification up to date. Hope to hear from a qualifying family soon.

Recent reference

"We cannot recommend Andrea more! We started using Andrea when our baby was 3 months old and now our daughter is 9 months. She always interacted with her, spoke sweetly to her, and remained calm and collected and consoling when Nairobi had her crying moments. She had suggestions and advice to give me as a new mom and gave a very detailed update on her day including number of poops and how much she ate for the day. There were many times that we called her last minute to come in the next day and she was always understanding and available. She always showed up at the time we needed her and would check in (when I forgot) to confirm what days she was coming each week. She is flexible, accommodating, and so very kind. She has had a lot of experience with different ages of kids and I will continue to trust her with my daughter as she ages- we will use her for date nights or when we need someone to watch our daughter while the daycare is closed. I highly recommend her!"
